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 \u003ci\u003eEnterprise\u003c\/i\u003e and nameless vessels like \u003ci\u003ePC 1264\u003c\/i\u003e. Historical overviews of the ships' operations, along with biographical sketches of the author(s), relate each poem to its moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid E.
