"Even after he had been aboard for nearly six months Dan Tierney did not feel that he was part of the ship: an aircraft carrier, the USS Vanguard, which weight seventy thousand tons and had a flight deck a thousand feet long. He viewed it with awe at tmes, but more often with scorn. He was a first lieutenant, executive officer of the Marine Detachment, and in his fourth year of service; he had come to the Vanguard from land, after a year's tour he would return to land, and one of the only pleasures he drew from sea duty was the honor, the prestige, of being chosen to represent the Marine Corps aboard the largest ship in the Pacific. It was an enviable tour of duty for a young officer. Senior officers had assured him, again and again, that this tour would advance his career: he would profit, they told him, each time a promotion board studied his record, that chronological list of functions assigned him during his professional years." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
