Rhythms the Compendium
4th March 2026
Read it. Really—read it.
Welcome to the “Rhythms” home page, a blogvel of sorts in several parts. The author’s attempt was to reveal elements of life aboard an aircraft carrier on the line. He had no idea it would take so long, and leave so very much untold.
This was my life for four and a half years aboard the USS John F. Kennedy (CVA-67). Even after fifty years, I can still hear the sounds, smell the smells, and appreciate how that life formed my character, for better or worse. (My wife still rolls her eyes when I insist on folding my underwear.)
