The Mighty Moo with Nathan Canestaro

Nathan Canestaro is a professional intelligence officer whose research on his grandfather's service in World War 2 led to a decade-long effort to uncover the story of the USS Cowpens and its crew. Currently on assignment to the National Intelligence Council, Nathan has twenty-five years of experience writing about military operations for policymakers in the US Government.
The Mighty Moo is the incredible story of the USS Cowpens, a scrappy World War II aircraft carrier that defied all odds to earn a distinguished combat record in the Pacific, despite initial doubts about her place in the fleet. Through vivid accounts and insights from the ship’s untested crew, Nathan shares how this resilient group of reservists and citizen sailors faced intense battles, braved typhoons, and ultimately stood witness to the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay.
