    Default Task Force 1949

    This is an interesting movie about carriers in the US Navy from the beginning through to post WWII. Gary Cooper is the star of the movie. I watched it on YouTube. It includes some good scenes and video of the Lexington and Saratoga as well as some footage of the Langley for history buffs too.
