Издание на английском языке
This publication is a lively and witty account of everyday life aboard a warship. Through individual "days" and shipboard episodes, the book describes harbor chores, berthing, FOST exercises, the crew's daily challenges, flight deck work, ship's stores, galley stories, and naval humor. The atmosphere is enhanced by characteristic naval expressions, humorous situations, and observations of service, allowing one to see not only the official side of shipboard life but also its human, everyday, and comical dimensions.
