Besides my very first Scott Specialised Catalogue 1999 for $10nz which I shall spend hours pouring over when the light of day is upon us. I received this cover of the USS ATKA.
I bid and won as per usual, and after looking closer realised it was Christmas Day..
The wonderful history of this ship lead me to find that it was in and out of NZ harbours' at the time. All together for me a pleasing find.
