Connolly Leaves Navy After Short Cruise for Literary Gain
James B Connolly, noted author, left the United States Navy after a brief two year enlistment begun at the suggestion of President Roosevelt. He served as a yeoman second class, logged aboard the Alabama at Hampton Roads, and cruised to Guantanamo. Pursuing material for future works, he used an assumed name to keep his literary aims secret from shipmates. His stint ended as his identity became known and mates reportedly resisted his undercover mission. He still gained vivid wartime experience and local color from life on a battleship system.
