The Dreadnought Boys' World Cruise

A group of bright‑eyed, uniformed teenagers sails across the globe aboard a modern warship, their days filled with drills, jokes, and the occasional taste of city life when the fleet drops anchor. Their camaraderie is evident in the banter of Ned and Herc as they wander through San Francisco’s bustling Golden Gate Park, swapping stories about sailors, discipline, and the excitement of being part of a new generation of navalmen.

When a frightened young woman is thrown from a runaway horse, the boys leap into action without hesitation. Ned, drawing on his farm‑grown confidence, lunges toward the charging animal, while Herc watches, ready to lend a hand. Their quick thinking and daring rescue set the tone for a tale of youthful bravery, friendship, and the many adventures that await these Dreadnought boys as they chart a course around the world.
