I recall back in 1976 (?), the destroyer I was on ran full-speed for three days, which meant NO sleep for Engineering. Then we were ordered to help load LIVE AMMO! One of our guys refused, due to the unnecessary danger, and went to Captain's Mast. I'm ashamed to say, that sailor wasn't ME!
Just an officer driving a crew beyond their limits, hoping for recognition.
