This book describes the life of the enlisted men aboard a Farragut class destroyer during the pre-World War II years; the war preparation period in 1941; and the wartime years. It features first-person narrations collected from interviews and correspondence with the few remaining Farragut class destroyer sailors, and briefly describes the evolution of the destroyer and the Farragut class destroyers, five of which survived the war.

The late Leo Block enlisted in the Navy prior to the United States' entry into World War II, serving aboard the Farragut class destroyer USS Macdonough as a fireman and later as a machinist mate.
