In addition to commentary about daily shipboard life and duty as machinist’s mate, it includes many other lively observations events and happenings during his time on-board. Speed, speed, speed, all the time. Thirty one knots and no smoke. Dropped a depth bomb and then. Picked up dead fish. Fired the torpedoes and raised Hell.
