Naval deck logs require young officers to record mundane details of
a ship's condition every few hours. According to a U.S. Navy
tradition, the New Year's midwatch log--covering midnight to early
morning of January 1--can be entered as poetry. Each chapter of
this first book-length examination of midwatch poems presents
verses written 1941-1946 aboard a ship engaged in combat during
World War II, including celebrated warships like the USS Enterprise
and nameless vessels like PC 1264. Historical overviews of the
ships' operations, along with biographical sketches of the
author(s), relate each poem to its moment in history.
