Summary: Naval Culture
Comment: This book epitomized the work ups and life of a sailor on watch leading up to the invasion of Okinawa during WWII. It's amazing how close the history told 45 years before still remains remarkably close to shipboard life in today's Navy.

Summary: a tribute to all those who sail into harm's way
Comment: a tribute to all who have sailed into harm's way. a description of real heroism that was not limited to the uss aaron ward or the us navy. the terror of an engagement at sea for any sailor, officer or enlisted, regardless of the uniform worn is the same. no matter how often i re-read the book i cannot hold back the tears as the quartermaster calls the list of names of those missing. the book is honors to all sailors who unknowingly stood their last watch. it is a fine way to remember all marine casualties, naval and merchant, have no monument or national park constructed on the site to honor their death. as lott explains the sea simply closes over the scene as if nothing ever happened. a required reading.
Rating: 5
Summary: Read the book in 1966. Excellent story line , great plot.
Comment: I read the book while at sea with the U.S. Navy in 1966. It made me feel that I was an actual part of the crew and could at any time expect to hear the claxton for Battle Stations to sound. One could feel the tension of battle, hear the sounds of the anti-aircraft guns, the direct hits of the enemy planes. One book that I did not want to put down.b
