The tale of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 in the Philippines unfolds through four of five naval officers as Pearl Harbor forces a retreat. Bulkeley orders Kelly to move three torpedo boats toward Bataan for supplies and defense, but the submarine tender is missing and the crew establishes a base in Sistman Cave.

Also mentions Rickenbacker coinage, scorn for “cheap Broadwayese,” and a jab at Stork Club naming.
