Hamlin bedded down for the night on the balcony of the Ford Island Theater.
By the morning he first noticed that his white uniform was ruined. After all, he had swam through an oil slick to Ford Island the day before. He found a pile of clothing and rummaged through it and made himself a new uniform, though not quite regulation: a Navy chambray work shirt and khaki trousers, a brown Marine shoe and a black Navy shoe.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
