Black, White & Gold:A Sailor's Sea Story

A free-wheeling veteran commissary chief and his cronies rule below deck's society aboard a destroyer escort in the South Pacific during World War II. Those who interfere pay a price until they accept their "dutiful place." Aside from periodic tussles with the black chief steward, the commissary chief has his way until a newly-commissioned ensign arrives. The chief says that he will "tame and train" his boss and teach him about the "real Navy." The ensign's decisions rile the chief and irritate the stewards, a group he wishes to help. When he investigates the chiefs activities, sparks fly Shipboard pranks, gambling, boxing, liberty, an equator crossing and a native girl add spice. A sailor's crazy and entertaining sea story.
