This is the first-ever publication detailing the Navy’s role in
manned spacecraft recovery from 1961 to 1975, from Alan
Shepherd’s initial suborbital mission to the Apollo-Soyuz flight,
which inaugurated the first space collaboration between the U.S.
and the Soviet Union. Splashdown: NASA, the Navy, and Space Flight
Recovery takes the reader through a detailed explanation of how
recovery forces on land, sea, and in the air were deployed across
the globe to be trained for any and all emergencies and
eventualities. This book gives concise histories of all prime
recovery ships as well as back-up ships in both manned and unmanned
missions, with every ship’s history followed by a retelling of
their space missions.
