Now, hear this!

the long version

Gallery spins yarns about the escapades of Fatso Gioninni, a Bosuns Mate who runs the incinerator, and his pals on a post-WWII aircraft carrier. It features a number of really humorous short pieces about the naval shenanigans of these salty sailors. A really easy, enjoyable read. I bought it in a used book store on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a rainy week at the beach back in the 70's and I still have my well-worn copy.
