Starkey's Boys
by Christopher P. LaVoie
List Price:
$12.95
Usually ships in 72 hours
Deep diving operations, rescues at sea, and tearing up every port pulled into; this was the life of the young and ready Navy divers
stationed aboard the USS Reclaimer in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii during the early 1990’s. The Reclaimer was the Navy’s go-anywhere and
do-anything vessel in the Pacific. In charge of directing and supervising the roughshod deep sea divers was master diver Ed Starkey.
Starkey’s Boys is a sailor’s true story of the Navy’s toughest training, its deep sea dive school, and most arduous duty; two
years on the salvage/rescue ship USS Reclaimer. From Pearl Harbor to the mean streets of Panama, to the bomb-covered landscape of
Kaho‘olawe, the divers of the Reclaimer followed master diver Ed Starkey across the ocean and back.
