The Hooligan Navy is about a Coast Guard that had just gone through a world war as part of the U. S. Navy. The story focuses upon the experiences of a young radio operator who served on the CGC Alert, the CGC Bramble, the CGC Chautauqua, the CGC Escanaba, the CGC Storis, and the CGC Taney. The action begins on the West Coast, moves to Baltimore and the Coast Guard Yard, travels down to Norfolk and Panama, and ends up back on the West Coast and in Alaska. It is a humorous book about a young ex-Navy sailor who found out the hard way that the Coast Guard is a very small outfit where the officers all knew each other and shared what they knew about recalcitrant swabs.
