The novel was called Final Harbour, and it hooked me on US fleet boats when I was young. Sadly, his books are out of print.

I expect I'll contribute more stories soon. I'm playing SH4 in most of my free time.

Cheers.
You know what's funny? The curator for the USS Bowfin museum in Hawaii is Mr. Charles R. Hinman.
