Dieses Büchlein beinhaltet Erinnerungen an meine Zeit bei der Deutschen Bundesmarine in den Jahren 1977-79:Wie läuft man in Dänemark auf Grund?Wie verliert ein Minensuchboot dreihundert Meter Räumgerät nachts mitten auf der Ostsee?Wie vergisst man eines seiner Ruderblätter?Was passiert, wenn man sich als Maat ein Eis kauft?Was, um Himmels Willen, ist ein Azimut?
