Napa (APA 157) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 8 text:

Cap tain lv 14ddreAA: THE story of the NAPA is that of a typical Attack Transport of the Amphibious Force. But those of us who have served in her see in her evidence of the old truth that every ship has a personality. This personality is the product of the hammers and torches of the shipwrights who built her and of the officers and men who man her. As in the case of any other person, each of us will see different phases of her personality. May this book help to preserve in each of us, a memory of the NAPA we knew best.
