Thanks Bill.
Another interesting snippet of information which sheds light on the activities going on in the real lives of the people at the time. It may well help to flesh out some of our AArs if we include bits like this in our thinking if not in our actual fleshing out of our characters.
Rob.

Thank you for sharing that, Bill. It was good that the American Navy was willing to help its seamen to care for their families in this way.
