...training films, ship's basketball games. Wagon Tram, Perry Mason, and bosomy French lessons by Actress Dawn Addams onto 85 TV screens on the carrier's closed circuit. The sailors paid for it themselves through bingo, raffles, and so on. Pitying the little destroyer escorts and other pint-sized ships that always knifed around the "Big E" carrying nothing but radios, the Enterprise crew raised more money and installed a transmitter.
