The above photos of the Isbell were taken by Howard Freeman in 1965 or
'66 from the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) (click for larger versions - Original
sources: photo1
and photo2).
If you have any Isbell cruise books you would like included here, please
send them to me. I can scan the pages and return. I'm also in the market
for cruise books if you are looking to sell.
