All who served in the military have a story to tell. The story could be about a person, platoon, division, squadron, or ship. It could be about a war, a battle, or everyday experiences. Hard Charger is the story of a Cold War cruiser, the USS Biddle (DLG-34), the last Navy cruiser powered by conventional steam, the last of the single-ended guided missile frigates, the last ship of her class, but the first on the front lines. Biddle's story is traced from when her combat systems were conceived soon after the end of World War II and then designed and built during the 50's and 60's, to her construction, commission, shakedown, combat assignments in Vietnam, her battle at PIRAZ, overhauls, upgrades, training exercises and cruises to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and finally her decommissioning. The story is told by the officers and men who served aboard her - captains and deckhands, technicians and engineering officers, chiefs petty officers, plankowners and her decommissioning crew. Though Biddle is gone, her remarkable story remains, as does the freedom she helped protect. Historians, those currently involved with Navy combat systems, and those who served aboard a similar ship or during the Cold War will find Biddle's story interesting and thought provoking. Hard Charger is the only book written about Biddle or any Belknap class cruiser.

Why Spend More!
Color: Lucky, Size: One Dozen
For older golfers with slower swing speeds like me, these are a very good option. They do have a nice soft feel whether you’re driving, hitting an iron, chipping or putting. Distance is as good as much higher priced golf balls too. I’m not going to spend $50-$60 for a premium ball that doesn’t produce any better results. As a bogey golfer, these are plenty good enough.

Comfortable Fit, Great for Adding Intensity to Workouts
Size: 20lb, Color: Black, Size: 20lb, Color: Black
I’ve been using the 20lb weighted vest for my workouts and have been really happy with it so far. The fit is comfortable and secure without moving around too much during walks or exercises. It feels well-balanced and not awkward on the shoulders, which makes a big difference during longer workouts. I mainly use it for walking and bodyweight exercises, and it definitely adds intensity and helps make workouts feel more effective. The straps fit nicely and it feels sturdy overall. If you’re looking for a weighted vest to help increase resistance and improve workouts, I would recommend this one.
