A history of the Long Beach Naval Complex on Terminal Island, California. It covers mostly the shipyard and its special equipment, special projects and most of all the special people who made it the only Naval Shipyard in history to receive the Meritorious Unit Citation. The text deals with some of the special facitlities such as Dry Dock 1 and the German Crane. it also describes various special projects the shipyard worked on such as Sealab II, DSRV, Polaris & Poseidon missile tests and the reactivation and modernization of the Iowa class Battleships.
