Their new commanding officer was too green, too fresh from Annapolis. Wort of all, he was the son of an Admiral. The crew hated Captain Kenyon. Even when he led them into a diving maneuver, sank an enemy ship and got them out alive, he didn't win the respect of these war-hardened sea dogs. It took five Japanese destroyers and a night of savage fighting for the crew - and Walt himself - to know the real Captain Walt Kenyon.
