Title: Great old navy saga
Product review: Boatswain's Mate is a must read for every man who sailed with the U. S. Navy. It chronicles the life of Jake Rickmeyer who enlists to escape an abusive home. Following his hitch during WWII, he finds he has no other place to go, so he makes the Navy his career. His adventures take him to all corners of the world and continue up to the Vietnam War. Pat Johnston has done a superb job of giving us a very accurate portrayal of life at sea in common sailor's language. This is an ideal Father's Day gift item for every Dad who went to sea and those who wished they had.
