Slipping through the open water between the northwest corner of Guadalcanal and Savo Island, the gunboat Rosemary pushed ahead into the darkness, her three big engines sending messages of their splendid power through the deck to Kennedy’s feet. Kennedy had always nursed the engines of his PT-109. Rough treatment almost guaranteed they would sputter and die. His boys often sang the anthem that frustrated PT crews had made up about them:

Oh, some PTs do seventy-five,

And some do sixty-nine.

When we get ours to run at all,

We think we’re doing fine.
