“So - have any of our FR sailors slept in a hammock while at sea?”

No. But a nuclear warhead kept my feed warm.

I trust that your feet warmers were better secured than these shells.

Not a sailor. Army. 1958. But went Japan out of Seattle on troopship USS Mitchell. Slept on racks. 3 years later returned Stateside on a troopship, the USS Mann. Slept on racks. We were one of the last via troopship. It was 1961 and the Boeing 707s were taking over and changing all that.
