    About this ebook

    Shady shenanigans underway and ashore! The Ship is the USS Ramply, a Norfolk based destroyer operating with the carrier Roosevelt in the Mediterranean Sea. A Corvette loving Boatswain Mate, a singing Oregonian, a poet in love with a woman he met in Valencia, a Bostonian short-timer and a gambling coup provide the action and suspense.
