My experiences in the Navy during World War II, ca. 1944-2000.

White tells of his time in the Navy on an attack transport in the Pacific Ocean. He talks of some of the day to day operations of the ship, and of some of his more memorable experiences, including an attack from Japanese Kamikazes, one of whom successfully crashed into the ship neighboring his. He also speaks of his religious experiences, and of the incredible chance meeting of his brother, who was in the Army, on another ship in the middle of the ocean.
