1965: USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65)

The transcript describes the life aboard the Enterprise at 3 AM, where sailors engage in activities like driving a rock'n'roll beat. Time perception changes as the crew works in shifts, making odd hours normal. Despite being on a warship, the war feels distant, with reminders like newspapers and magazines arriving weeks late. As they approach their battle station, Vietnam seems more remote.
