Description
Destroyerman is a candid look into the everyday life led by the people that man these small versatile ships of the United States Navy-the perils and challenges they face and the daily routine of life at sea on a Navy destroyer. Through hurricanes, deployments, and the monotony of seemingly endless days at sea, this book depicts what it means to be a 'destroyerman'.

Person
As a child, Kenny Sams mostly learned from trial and error-there was a lot of error. After managing to miraculously survive his childhood and teenage years, he enlisted in the navy in 1972 and served aboard numerous ships in the Pacific Fleet, serving in Vietnam and the Middle East. After his naval career, Kenny worked as an industrial maintenance technician. He is currently retired in Kalama Washington. Kenny's hobbies include oil painting, writing, motorcycle riding, and vintage toy collecting. He is also the author of Destroyerman, available from Gatekeeper Press.
