Plot Summary

When Lt. John Harkness, a 90-day wonder with an engineering degree, is assigned as the new skipper of a submarine chaser equipped with an experimental steam engine, he hopes that the U.S.S. Teakettle's veterans will afford him enough help to accomplish the ship's goals. Unfortunately, he finds that the crew and its officers share his novice status or only have experience in diesel engines. Written by duke1029@aol.com

Adm. Tennant: Yeah, Yeah, you can also hang upside-down with your belt from a doorknob and kick the transom open with your feet, but I don't recommend it Chief.
