ETR-2 Steve Campbell in his stateroom. The accommodations were pretty plush, considering how most sailors in the regular Navy lived. Four-man staterooms occupied by only two or three, with a separate shared head — including a shower! In the year I was aboard the Michelson, we ran low on fresh water during one cruise and had to shower with salt water, then rinse with fresh. And we had the temerity to bitch about it!
