What would you do if you joined the Navy during WWII, were told to report to your ship, and went aboard all before you have had any basic training? In fact, you go aboard still in your civilian clothes and suitcase! That is precisely what happened to Wish Lemons. Thru a SNAFU he was sent from the west coast directly to Pearl Harbor which was attacked while he was on route. Arriving on Dec 10, 1941, the still smoldering Pearl Harbor would be where he would transfer to the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco.

But what do you do with a guy aboard ship in wartime with NO TRAINING? Well you will find out.

MAN THE GUNS Sailor. You are heading to sea, with no training aboard a ship known for heavy fighting in the dark days after Pearl Harbor in 1942.
