My time at sea was several years before I had speech therapy in my late 20s. I managed to muddle through on a tactical radio circuit or shouting helm orders down a speaking tube because speaking was absolutely necessary -- especially when I had to maneuver the ship to avoid a collision. In later years it was amusing to watch people I outranked trying NOT to react to my stuttering.
