Perverts, malcontents, and macho men join the Navy to be deep sea divers and taunt, drink, fight, and harass each other across the Mediterranean during 1976. Diving in sewage, shark, and rat filled waters, the men aboard the fleet tender USS Puget Sound do the underwater dirty work of repairing aircraft carriers, destroyers, and cruisers. Turd putting becomes an Olympic sport, the gorgeous drag queens of Naples become humiliation for the new recruits, and BOHICA (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again) becomes the motto of the fleet. All of the stories are true and all of the characters are real however, their names have been changed to protect the guilty.
