My Dad was on a minesweeper in the Pacific. The only story he ever told me about those days was that he switched from smoking Lucky Strikes to Camels because Camels tasted better standing at the bow of a minesweeper underway.

My father served on a minesweeper in the Pacific for 44 months. They lived on Islands complete with hooch maids.

Lucky Strike LSMFT. My dad said the only clean thing he remembered about the acronym was Lord Save Me From Truman.
