Naval deck logs require young officers to record mundane details of a ship’s condition every few hours. According to a US Navy tradition, the New Year’s midwatch can be entered as poetry. Each chapter of this book-length examination of midwatch poems presents verses written 1941-1946 aboard a ship engaged in combat during World War II.
