Official Photograph, U.S.Navy "SCUPPERS UNDER" A destroyer in a rough sea is far from being a comfortable place in which to live. In the words ofone who has, been there, "The craft rolls dips, shudders, plunges like a horse straight up at the stars, sinks rapidly and horribly, and even has spells ofseesawing violently from side toside. Its worst motion is an unearthly twist-a swift, appalling rise at a breath-taking angle, a toss across space totheother side ofawave, afearful descent sideways and down, and a ghastly shudder."
