Welcome to Litsy!

My grandma did not think much of this book due to its treatment of the Navy, but some of my fascination with this era surely links to the war my grandpa served in. This does have some serious points about war's meaning (or lack) wrapped up in the booze and occasional, well, rapiness on a do nothing auxiliary ship stuck in nameless Pacific backwaters. Not defending it, just think if we want to know we have to take a look :/
