520			_a"Stand By! Naval Sketches and Stories" by H. Taprell Dorling is a collection of naval-themed sketches and stories written in the early 20th century. The work draws on the author's experiences and observations regarding life in the Royal Navy during World War I, primarily focusing on the junior officers and their various challenges and duties aboard ship. Through fictional characters and scenarios, the book captures the spirit, camaraderie, and humor inherent in naval life during a time of conflict. The opening of this collection introduces readers to an acting sub-lieutenant who is newly assigned to a destroyer. Initially inexperienced and filled with self-doubt, he faces the daunting task of keeping the ship's position among a flotilla in treacherous nighttime conditions. His struggles to maintain control while simultaneously grappling with seasickness and the responsibilities of his position set the tone for the rest of the stories to follow. As the narrative unfolds, we see his gradual transformation from a nervous novice into a competent officer, navigating not only the challenges of seamanship but the camaraderie and quirks of naval life.
