BB-39 is a story of a group of five young men, part of the Greatest Generation, who join the US Navy in 1938. It chronicles their lives in the prewar battleship navy and beyond. Events out of their control fracture their friendship, their loves, and their lives. Forged into men by a conflict greater then themselves, the survivors of December 7th and those they love, move in divergent paths. In 1990, an accident near the Wailing Wall in Israel starts another chain of events that brings redemption, twilight lovers reunited, and a Siberian POW rescue.
