USS Iowa battleship launching... WWII...



Item # 701044

October 04, 1942

THE NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 4, 1936

* USS Enterprise carrier launching
* United States Navy - World War II fame
* Most decorated warship of WWII - 20 battle stars


The bottom left corner of page 3 has a tiny and discrete heading: "Plane Carrier is Launched" (see image) Interesting that the future most decorated warship of World War II would get such a small mention but it is what it is, still a first report here. Other World War II warship launchings got much more fanfare in this publication.
Complete with 46 pages, rag edition in very nice condition.
