F.D.REPORTER, printed on board the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dec. 1, 1945  

* USS Franklin D. Roosevelt publication

This is the first issue of a shipboard newspaper which, as noted at the top, is: "Published for the crew by the crew about their shipmates and shiplife."
Much of the content is on the commissioning of this newest ship in the United States fleet, including a front page photo of President Truman at the commissioning.
At the bottom of the front page is: "Souvenir Edition Of The Commissioning Ceremony".
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 10 1/2 inches, very nice condition.

Background: This inaugural December 1, 1945 issue of the F.D. Reporter stands as a premier historical artifact capturing the literal birth of the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42), a state-of-the-art Midway-class aircraft carrier that was the largest of her era and the first named in honor of the late president. As a dedicated "Souvenir Edition," the publication holds immense significance by documenting the ship's historic October 27, 1945 commissioning ceremony—a high-profile Navy Day event personally attended by President Harry S. Truman, whose front-page photograph anchors the issue. Occurring a mere two months after the formal end of World War II, the publication bridges the gap between wartime mobilization and the dawn of the Cold War, serving as a vital cultural touchstone printed "for the crew by the crew." Because these shipboard newspapers were produced in strictly limited quantities exclusively for sailors on board, this undamaged first issue provides an incredibly rare, unfiltered glimpse into the early morale and daily life of a crew navigating a monumental transition in American naval history.
