This book provides an account of a destroyer at war as given in the letters of an enlisted sailor, Yeoman James Orvill Raines, to his wife, Ray Ellen, in Texas. The letters reflect the horrific experiences of the thousands of American sailors involved in the fight against the Japanese.
My interest in USS Howorth originated during my thirty-three months of duty in the Pacific Fleet destroyer Hamner, named after Howorth''s gunnery officer killed at Okinawa, Lieutenant Henry R. "Pete" Hamner. His legacy jncluded the Reader''s Digest subscriptions his mother presented each year to the wardroom and crew. Later, as executive officer in the hydrofoil Plainview, exasperated by the endless stream of logs and records demanded by higher authorities, I peevishly tested the navy''s record system and wrote away for information on Lieutenant Hamner and Howorth. I was surprised by the magnitude of the material documenting Howorth''s Pacific War, ranging from hourly barometric readings and seawater injection temperatures to ammunition effectiveness reports.
