STHE BIG EThe Story of the USS Enterprise, Illustrated Edition

By Edward P. Stafford

A lasting tribute to the USS Enterprise—the Big E —this heavily illustrated, new edition tells the classic tale of the carrier that contributed more than any other warship to the naval victory in the Pacific. The original book, published in 1962, has remained one of the most celebrated World War II stories for more than four decades.

The Big E participated in nearly every major engagement of the war against Japan and earned a total of twenty battle stars. The Halsey-Doolittle Raid; the Battles of Midway, Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf; and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa are all faithfully recorded from the viewpoint of the men who served her so well.

This superb study of a great ship, her crew, and the action they saw has been called one of the finest pieces of naval writing to emerge from the war. Author Edward Stafford mined genuine nuggets from the mountain of research and lengthy interviews he conducted to write this book. He answers questions such as: What was it like to be inside the cockpit of a Dauntless dive bomber as it bored in on its target or what kind effort was required to unstick the ship’s huge rudder when it was damaged by a bomb? Literate and scholarly as well as highly dramatic, the book will appeal to historians and the general public alike.

CDR. EDWARD PEARY STAFFORD, USN (RET.) (1918–2013) was a naval aviator. He wrote for Naval History and Proceedings, as well as for National Geographic. He is best known for The Big E and four other books on naval history: Subchaser; Little Ship, Big War; The Saga of DE-343, and The Far and the Deep.

This special reprint was made possible through the generous support of Andrew C. Taylor.

FREMANTLE’S SUBMARINESHow Allied Submariners and Western Australians Helped to Win the War in the Pacific

By Michael Sturma

From unpromising beginnings in March 1942, the Allied submarine base at Fremantle on the west coast of Australia became a vital part of the Allied offensive against Japan. Pushed back from the Philippines and the Netherlands’ East Indies, American submariners, accompanied by a small group of Dutch forces, retreated to Fremantle as a last resort. The location was chosen for its good harbor and the fact that it was outside the range of land-based Japanese aircraft. Unfortunately the base was also far from their patrol areas and supply lines, and it was difficult to reinforce should the enemy attack. Thanks largely to a welcoming civilian population, morale quickly improved. Perhaps as a result of such a positive experience, the Allied forces became much more successful in combat. Intertwining social and military history, Fremantle’s Submarines relates how courage, cooperation, and com-munity made Fremantle arguably the most successful military outpost of World War II from the standpoint of troop morale.

MICHAEL STURMA is a professor of history and leader of humanities at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. He is the author of six previous books.

SOUTH PACIFIC CAULDRONWorld War II’s Great Forgotten Battlegrounds

By Alan Rems

“Award-winning author Alan Rems brilliantly tells of the campaigns in the South Pacific, a region long overlooked, offering both the big picture and the foxhole view.” — Military Officer

“A fitting tribute to the men who fought and died in an often over-looked theater of World War II.”— On Point: The Journal of Army History

While the Pacific War has been widely studied by military historians and venerated in popular culture through movies and other media, the fighting in the South Pacific theater has, with few exceptions, been remarkably neglected. Authoritative yet written in a highly readable narrative style, South Pacific Cauldron is the first complete history embracing all land, sea, and air operations in this critically important sector of the oceanic conflict.

ALAN REMS, a retired CPA, has been a regular contributor to Naval History magazine since his first writing effort that earned the U.S. Naval Institute’s 2008 Author of the Year award. He lives with his wife, a retired newspaper managing editor, in Centreville, Virginia.

“NO ONE AVOIDED DANGER”NAS Kaneohe Bay and the Japanese Attack of 7 December 1941

By J. Michael Wenger, Robert J. Cressman, and John F. Di Virgilio

“No One Avoided Danger” is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay, one of two naval air stations on the island of O‘ahu in Hawaii. Partly because of Kaneohe’s location—15 air miles over a mountain range from the main site of that day’s infamous attack on Pearl Harbor—military historians have largely ignored the station’s story. Moreover, there is an understandable tendency to focus on the massive destruc-tion sustained by the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay, however, were equally destructive and no less disastrous, notwithstanding the station’s considerable distance from the harbor.

The work focuses on descriptions of actions in the air and on the ground at the deepest practical, personal, and tactical level, from both the American and Japanese perspectives. Such a synthesis is possible only by pursuing every con-ceivable source of American documents, reminiscences, interviews, and photographs. Similarly, the authors sought out Japanese accounts and photography from the attacks, many appearing in print for the first time. Information from the Japanese air group and aircraft carrier action reports has never before been used.

On the American side, the authors also have researched the Official Military Personnel Files at the National Personnel Records Center and National Archives in St. Louis, Missouri, extracting service photographs and details of the military careers of American officers and men. The authors are among the first historians to be allowed access to previously unused service records. The authors likewise delved into the background and personalities of key Japanese participants, and have translated and incorporated the Japanese aircrew rosters from the attack.

This accumulation of data and information makes possible an intricate and highly integrated story that is unparalleled. The interwoven narratives of both sides provide a deeper understanding of the events near Kāne‘ohe Bay than any previous history.

J. MICHAEL WENGER is a military historian who has conducted research since the 1970s in repositories the world over. He received the 2012 U.S. Naval Institute Author of the Year Award. Wenger is the coauthor of ten books and lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. Naval historian ROBERT J. CRESSMAN was the recipient of the John Lyman Book Award in 1999 and the Admiral Arthur W. Radford Award in 2008. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland. JOHN DI VIRGILIO is the author of two groundbreaking articles related to Pearl Harbor, and is recognized for his extensive research on Japanese naval ordnance and for his illustrated Pearl Harbor battleship damage profiles. He lives in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

VERY SPECIAL SHIPSAbdiel-Class Fast Minelayers of World War Two

By Arthur C. Nicholson

Very Special Ships is the first full-length book about the Abdiel-class fast minelay-ers, which were considered the fastest and most versatile to serve in the Royal Navy during World War II. This book spans the scope of the class from alpha to zulu as they operated in many roles, most famously as blockade runners to Malta, transporting items as diverse as ammunition, con-densed milk, gold, and VIPs. To provide a complete picture of this important class of ships, Very Special Ships examines the origin and history of the minelayers, describes the design and construction of each ship in the class, details the operation-al history of the ships during World War II, and concludes with the post-war careers of the surviving ships.

ARTHUR C. NICHOLSON is an American lawyer and naval enthusiast. He is also the author of Hostages of Fortune.

SHIPS FOR ALL NATIONSJohn Brown & Company Clydebank, 1847–1971

By Ian Johnston

The Clydebank shipyard built some of the most famous vessels in maritime history. Its heritage boasts of great transatlantic liners like Lusitania, Queen Mary, and QE2, as well as iconic warships like the battlecruiser Hood, and Britain’s last battleship, HMS Vanguard. Beginning as J & G Thomson in 1847, the business acquired its more famous persona when Sheffield-based steelmaker John Brown & Co took over in 1899. As a result, the yard became known for turning out first-class products, both naval and mercantile.

IAN JOHNSTON was brought up in a ship-building family, although he has made his career in graphic design. A lifetime’s inter-est in ships and shipbuilding has borne fruit in a number of publications, most recently Clydebank Battlecruisers and A Shipyard at War.

WARSHIPS AFTER WASHINGTONThe Development of the Five Major Fleets, 1922–1930

By John Jordan

The Washington Treaty of 1922 was a watershed event designed to head off a potentially dangerous arms race between the major naval powers. The terms of the treaty included an agreement to legally bind limits on the number and size of prin-cipal warship types, effectively banning the construction of new battleships for a decade. While the basics of the treaty are understood by a specific audience with an interest in warships, the wider context of the treaty and the detailed ramifications of its provisions are less understood. Now available in paperback, Warships After Washington is unique in its coverage of the political and strategic background of the treaty, providing specific analysis of how the navies of Britain, the U.S., Japan, France, and Italy responded.

JOHN JORDAN is the editor of the Warship annual and author of numerous other books including French Battleships, 1922–1956.

A CONFEDERATE BIOGRAPHY The Cruise of the CSS Shenandoah

By Dwight Sturtevant Hughes

From October 1864 to November 1865, the officers of the CSS Shenandoah carried the Confederacy and the conflict of the Civil War around the globe through extreme weather, alien surroundings, and the people they encountered. Her officers were the descendants of Deep South plantation aristocracy and Old Dominion first families: a nephew of Robert E. Lee, a grandnephew of founder George Mason, and descendants of one of George Washington’s generals and of an aid to Washington. One was even an uncle of a young Theodore Roosevelt and another was son-in-law to Raphael Semmes.

Shenandoah’s mission—commerce raiding (guerre de course)—was a central component of U.S. naval and maritime heritage, a profitable business, and a watery form of guerrilla warfare. These Americans stood in defense of their country as they understood it, pursuing a difficult and dangerous mission in which they succeeded spectacularly after it no longer mattered. This is a biography of a ship and a cruise, and a microcosm of the Confederate-American experience.

DWIGHT STURTEVANT HUGHES graduated from the U.S. Naval Acad-emy in 1967 and served twenty years as a surface warfare officer. He lives in Nokesville, Virginia.

THE BRIDGE TO AIRPOWERLogistics Support for Royal Flying Corps Operations on the Western Front, 1914–18

By Peter Dye

In the latest addition to the History of Military Aviation series, Peter Dye describes how the development of the air weapon on the Western Front during World War I required a radical and unprec-edented change in the way that national resources were employed to exploit a technological opportunity. World War I has long been recognized as an industrial war that consumed vast amounts of materiel and where logistical superiority gave the Allies an over-whelming advantage. The Bridge to Air Power is the first study that demonstrates how logistical competence provided a war-winning advantage for the Royal Flying Corps, the precursor to the Royal Air Force. In particular, it highlights how the Corps’ logistical organization was able to maintain high levels of resilience and agility while sustaining military outputs under widely different operational conditions.

PETER DYE is a graduate of Imperial College London and Birming-ham University. He served in the Royal Air Force for over 35 years and was awarded the Order of the British Empire for service during the first Gulf War. He retired as an air vice-marshal and was appoint-ed director general of the Royal Air Force Museum in 2008.

HMS VICTORY POCKET MANUAL 1805Nelson’s Flagship at Trafalgar

By Peter Goodwin

This pocket manual is a complete and concise guide to one of the world’s most famous warships, Admiral Nelson’s fully preserved flagship HMS Victory. Author Peter Goodwin adopts a fresh approach to explain the workings of the most tangible symbol of the Royal Navy’s greatest battle off Cape Trafalgar. In doing so, he answers questions such as “What types of wood were used in building Victory? What was her longest voyage? When did her career as a fighting ship come to an end?” The book also includes pertinent and varied selections of contemporary documents and records to explain the day-to-day running of a three-decker Georgian warship.

PETER GOODWIN was the keeper and curator of HMS Victory for more than 20 years. His published titles include The Construction and Fitting of the Sailing Man of War, The Naval Cutter Alert, Nelson’s Ships, and The Ships of Trafalgar.

HMS PICKLEThe Swiftest Ship in Nelson’s Fleet at Trafalgar

By Peter Hore Foreword by Andrew Lambert

The smallest ship in Nelson’s fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar was the curiously-named HMS Pickle. The ship was a topsail schoo-ner and, though deemed too small to take part in the fighting, she distinguished herself as the ship that brought to Britain the news of Admiral Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar and subsequent death. Captain Peter Hore provides a complete history of HMS Pickle, from her beginnings as a civilian vessel called Sting, through her 10-gun conversion to a warship, and then on to her subsequent demise when she ran aground in 1808 as she entered Cadiz harbor. The Pickle’s journey is commemo-rated each year during Pickle Night festiv-ities by warrant officers of the Royal Navy on November 5th.

PETER HORE is an award-winning author and journalist. He served a full career in the Royal Navy and is the author of several books including Nelson’s Band of Brothers. In 2011 he was elected as a fellow to the Royal Historical Society.

TUDOR WARSHIP MARY ROSEBy Douglas McElvogue

A new selection in the Anatomy of the Ship series, Tudor Warship Mary Rose is a unique insight into the architecture and construction of the iconic ship of the Tudor period. This comprehensive ref-erence includes over 200 scale drawings detailing every part of the ship's interior and exterior from heel to masthead. As with other books in the series, Tudor Warship Mary Rose is a radical departure from the usual monograph approach, instead providing conventional ship plans as well as explanatory perspective views with fully descriptive keys. This book will surely appeal to model makers, historians, archaeologists, and enthusiasts alike.

DOUGLAS McELVOGUE was a senior research fellow at the Mary Rose Trust and specializes in maritime archaeological reconstructions.

TORCHNorth Africa and the Allied Path to Victory

By Vincent P. O’Hara

World War II had many superlatives, but none like Operation Torch—a series of simultaneous amphibious landings, audacious commando and paratroop assaults, and the Atlantic’s biggest naval battle, fought across a two thousand mile span of coastline in French North Africa. The risk was enormous, the scale breathtaking, the preparations rushed, the training inadequate, and the ramifications profound.

Torch was the first combined Allied offensive and key to how the Second World War unfolded politically and militarily. Nonetheless, historians have treated the subject lightly, perhaps because of its many ambiguities. As a sur-prise invasion of a neutral nation, it recalled German attacks against countries like Belgium, Norway, and Yugoslavia. The operation’s rationale was to aid Russia but did not do this. It was supposed to get Americans troops into the fight against Germany but did so only because it failed to achieve its short-term military goals. There is still debate whether Torch advanced the fight against the Axis, or was a wasteful dispersion of Allied strength and actually prolonged the war.

Torch: North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory is a fresh look at this complex and controversial operation. The book covers the fierce Anglo-American dispute about the operation and charts how it fits into the evolution of amphibious warfare. It recounts the story of the fighting, focusing on the five landings—Port Lyautey, Fédala, and Safi in Morocco, and Oran and Algiers in Algeria—and includes air and ground actions from the initial assault to the repulse of Allied forces on the outskirts of Tunis. Torch also considers the operation’s context within the larger war and it incorporates the French perspective better than any English-language work on the subject. It shows how Torch brought France, as a power, back into the Allied camp; how it forced the English and the Americans to work together as true coalitions partners and forge a coherent amphibious doctrine. These skills were then applied to subsequent operations in the Mediterranean, in the English Channel, and in the Pacific. The story of how this was accomplished is the story of how the Allies brought their power to bear on the enemy’s continental base and won World War II.

VINCENT P. O’HARA is an independent scholar and the author of nine works including five published by the Naval Institute Press, most recently To Crown the Waves. His articles have appeared in the Naval War College Review, Warship, MHQ, Storia Militare, and other periodicals and journals. He holds a history degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

AMERICA SPREADS HER SAILS U.S. Seapower in the 19th Century

Compiled and edited by Clayton R. Barrow, Jr.

In this new paperback edition of America Spreads Her Sails, fourteen writers and historians demonstrate how American men and goods in American-made ships moved out over Alfred Thayer Mahan’s “broad common,” the sea, to extend the country’s commerce, power, political influence, and culture. Capt. Thomas ap Catesby Jones, Lt. John “Mad Jack” Percival, and Comm. Matthew Calbraith Perry are among some of the colorful names that many will recognize. They are all gone now, these strong men and their stout ships, who carried their country’s colors up to the Northern Lights, down to the Antarctic’s stillness, over the cutting coral, across the Roaring Forties, and into the great ports and the backwaters of the world. The results of their adventures, however, are not forgotten, but instead set the stage for America to indisputably become the dominant world power of the past century.

CLAYTON R. BARROW, JR. USMC (RET.) passed away in 1997. He was a former employee of the U.S. Naval Institute for twenty-five years, where he served as editor in chief for Proceedings magazine.

EMBASSY TO THE EASTERN COURTSAmerica's Secret First Pivot Toward Asia, 1832–37

By Andrew C. A. Jampoler

In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the U.S. found its mer-chants and traders locked out of their traditional markets in Europe and the Caribbean. Hoping for new and profitable American trade relationships, President Andrew Jackson dispatched an unemployed ship-owner and merchant with no diplomatic experience on a secret mission to negotiate with Eastern potentates in their courts. Edmund Roberts’ mission was to formalize American trade with these exotic places—Oman, Siam, Cochin China, and Japan—on a most favored nation basis, allowing for American consuls to openly advance and protect American interests and citizens in their host country. After sailing almost 70,000 miles in five years in the ill-fated USS Peacock, Roberts was successful in negotiating treaties with Oman and Siam, but he failed in Cochin China, and he died before setting sail to Japan. Peacock, first flagship of the Navy’s new East Indies Squadron, forerunner of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, outlived him by only a few years.

ANDREW C. A. JAMPOLER spent nearly twenty-five years as an active duty naval aviator. He is the author of six books, including Adak and Congo.

JAPANESE BATTLESHIPS, 1897–1945A Photographic Archive

By R. A. Burt

This unprecedented photographic collec-tion contains 125 stunning black and white photographs of the battleships of the Impe-rial Japanese Navy. The remarkable images, some very rare, constitute an archive that is almost without equal in the West. The book begins with the launch of Japan’s first contemporary battleship, Yashima, and concludes with the final destruction of the fleet in the Pacific in 1945. In between these two milestones, Japan constructed the third largest navy in the world. All of the fleet’s dreadnoughts saw action in World War II but only the Nagato survived the conflict. She subsequently became a test target in the Bikini A-bomb tests in 1946.

THE BRITISH CARRIER STRIKE FLEETAfter 1945

By David Hobbs

David Hobbs looks at the post-World War II fortunes of the most powerful fleet in the Royal Navy—its decline in the face of diminishing resources, its final fall at the hands of ignorant politicians, and its recent resurrection in the form of the Queen Eliza-beth class carriers, the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. Despite prophecies that nuclear weapons would make conventional forces obsolete, British carrier-borne air-craft were almost continuously employed. This book combines narratives of poorly understood operations with clear analysis of their strategic and political background. With beautiful illustrations and original research, British Carrier Strike Fleet tells an important but largely untold story of renewed significance as Britain once again embraces carrier operation.

DAVID HOBBS served in the Royal Navy for 33 years and is curator of the Fleet Air Arm Museum. He is the author of many books, including A Century of Naval Avi-ation, The British Pacific Fleet, and British Aircraft Carriers.

WHERE YOUTH AND LAUGHTER GOWith “The Cutting Edge” in Afghanistan

By LtCol Seth W. B. Folsom, USMC

Where Youth and Laughter Go completes LtCol Seth Folsom’s recounting of his personal experiences in com-mand over a decade of war. It is the culminating chapter of a trilogy that began with The Highway War: A Marine Company Commander in Iraq in 2006 and continued with In the Gray Area: A Marine Advisor Team at War in 2010.

The chronicle of Folsom’s command of 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, “The Cutting Edge,” and his harrow-ing deployment to Afghanistan’s volatile Sangin District presents a deeper look into the complexities and perils of modern counterinsurgency operations in America’s longest war. Charged with the daunting task of pacifying a region with a long history of violence and instability, Folsom and his Marines struggled daily to wage a dynamic campaign against the shadowy enemy force that held Sangin’s population firmly in its grip. With peace and stability always teetering on the brink of collapse, the Marines of “The Cutting Edge” confronted their own mortality as they conducted endless patrols through Sangin’s minefields while fighting to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan villagers.

No other books have been published from the perspective of a Marine infantry battalion commander in Afghanistan. It was Folsom’s job, as the unit commander, to lead his Marines under impossible circumstances. LtCol Folsom made the unusual decision to patrol with his rifle squads every day through Sangin, where his Marines dodged improvised explosive devices and sniper fire from an invis-ible enemy. As his tour progressed and casualties mounted, he found his objectivity evaporating and the love for his men growing. Where Youth and Laughter Go is more than a blood-and-guts war story, it is a jarring, “boots on the ground”–level examination of the myriad challenges and personal dilemmas that today’s young service members face as the United States approaches its final endgame in Afghanistan.

LTCOL SETH W. B. FOLSOM, USMC has a bachelor of arts in international relations from the University of Virginia, a master of arts in national security affairs from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a master of arts in strategic studies from the Marine Corps War College. He is the author of The Highway War: A Marine Company Commander in Iraq and In the Gray Area: A Marine Advisor Team at War.

“THE THREE MUSKETEERS OF THE ARMY AIR FORCES”From Hitler's Fortress Europa to Hiroshima and Nagasaki

By Robert O. Harder

While scores of books have been published about the atomic bombings that helped end World War II, little has been written about the personal lives and relationship of the three men that led the raids. Paul Tibbets, Tom Ferebee, and Ted “Dutch” Van Kirk exemplified what Life Magazine meant when in 1942 it called the B-17 pilot, bombardier, and navigator “the three musketeers of the Army Air Forces.” A former navigator-bombardier and pilot him-self, Harder brings a fresh perspective to an otherwise well-known narrative. He provides a rare insider’s look at exactly who these three fellows were, how they were trained, what they meant to each other, and finally how everything coalesced into the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks.

ROBERT O. HARDER was an Air Force ROTC Distinguished Mil-itary Graduate and Strategic Air Command “Cold War” B-52D aircrewman with 145 combat missions during the Vietnam War. A rated navigator and radar bombardier, he also flew nuclear training sorties and stood Pad Alert. A former business executive, he is an FAA-certificated flight instructor and writer. His previ-ous book, Flying from the Black Hole: The B-52 Navigator-Bom-bardiers of Vietnam was first published by the Naval Institute Press in 2009.

SKY SHIPSA History of the Airship in the United States, 25th Anniversary Edition

By William F. Althoff

Originally published in 1990, Sky Ships is easily the most compre-hensive history of U.S. Navy airships ever written. The Naval Institute Press is releasing this new edition— complete with two hundred new photographs—to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the book’s publication.

Impressed by Germany’s commercial and military Zeppelins, the United States initiated its own airship program in 1915. Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey was homeport for several of the largest machines ever to navigate the air. The success of the commercial rigid airship peaked in 1936 with transatlantic round trips between Central Europe and the Americas by Hindenburg and by Graf Zeppe-lin—ending with the infamous fire in 1937. That setback, the onset of war, and the accelerated progress of heavier-than-air technology ended rigid airship development. The Navy continued to use blimps to protect Allied shipping during World War II. Following the war, the Navy persisted with efforts to integrate the airships, but the program was finally discontinued in the early 1960s.

WILLIAM F. ALTHOFF is a geologist and historian of naval aviation and science in the Arctic. His publications include scientific papers, articles, and six books. He was Ramsey Fellow in Naval Aviation History at the National Air and Space Museum in 1999–2000 and then research associate in 2000–02.

FRENCH DESTROYERSTorpilleurs d’Escadre and Contre-Torpilleurs, 1922–1956

By John Jordan and Jean Moulin

Between the world wars, France produced some of the largest and fastest destroyers in the world. Known as Contre-Torpilleurs, these striking and innovative super-destroy-ers and the more conventional Torpilleurs d’Escadre are the focus of this book. The first part of the book covers the design of these ships, pairing the text with detailed data tables, specially-drawn plans and sche-mas, and photographs of the ships. The second half details the eventful careers of these ships and contains contemporary photographs and maps commissioned specifically for this book.

JOHN JORDAN is the editor of the War-ship annual. He has written other books on French battleships and cruisers. JEAN MOULIN, his collaborator, is a leading French authority and author of numerous books and monographs on the ships of the Marine Nationale.

BEFORE THE IRONCLADWarship Design and Development, 1815–1860

By David K. Brown

When first published in 1990 Before the Ironclad was highly regarded and wholly unique. Brown’s work challenged old assumptions and started a reevaluation of British contributions to naval devel-opments of the period. This book traces the transition from sail to steam power to the construction of the HMS Warrior, the first iron hulled warship, and this new edition will feature more extensive illustrations. Written by an eminent naval architect, Before the Ironclad is both a bal-anced account of general developments in shipbuilding and an in-depth study of the ships themselves.

DAVID K. BROWN was a warship designer with the Royal Corps of Naval Construc-tors. His highly-praised warship design book series also includes Warrior to Dreadnought, The Grand Fleet, Nelson to Vanguard, and Rebuilding the Royal Navy. He died in 2008.

FRENCH WARSHIPS IN THE AGE OF SAIL, 1786–1862Design, Construction, Careers and Fates

By Rif Winfield and Stephen S. Roberts

In 1786 the French navy had just emerged from its most successful war of the eigh-teenth century, and the reputation of its ship design and fighting skills never stood higher. Though the effects of the French Revolution would devastate the navy’s efficiency, the French would go on to pro-duce some of the most advanced, innova-tive ships of the age. This book contains an abundance of information on the construc-tion and careers of each of these marvelous ships. The result of such detail is the first concise, clear resource on the development of French warships in the latter half of the sailing era.

RIF WINFIELD is the author of the series Brit-ish Warships in the Age of Sail, as well as a number of other highly regarded books on the sailing navy. His collaborator, STEPHEN S. ROBERTS is a leading American authority on nineteenth century French warships.

FROM VERSAILLES TO MERS EL-KÉBIR The Promise of Anglo-French Naval Cooperation, 1919–40

By George E. Melton

This book concerns itself with one of the most unlikely relationships in the two decades before World War II: the alliance of the Royal Navy and the French fleet. By the mid 1930s, both fleets had overextended themselves with global defense commitments, owing mainly to the collapse of the world war alliances and to an ominous shift in the balance of world naval power. To maximize their power, England and France combined their assets in a naval alliance. The union was not an altogether happy one, but it survived in one form or another until the British attack upon the French fleet at Mers el-Kébir in 1940. George E. Melton brings new insights to the diplomacy that led to this often strained cooperation, and reinterprets some of the most important events of early World War II.

GEORGE E. MELTON received his master’s and doctorate degrees in modern European history with an emphasis on French naval and dip-lomatic history. He has been a member of the faculty at St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, North Carolina, since 1968.

GOD AND SEA POWERThe Influence of Religion on Alfred Thayer Mahan

By Suzanne Geissler

Gallons of ink have been used analyzing Adm. Alfred Thayer Mah-an’s thoughts, his naval theories, and his contribution to sea power. One vital aspect of his life, however, has been ignored or misunder-stood by many scholars: his religious faith. Mahan was a professing Christian who took his faith with the utmost seriousness, and as a result, his worldview was inherently Christian. He wrote and spoke extensively on religious issues, a point frequently ignored by many historians. This is a fundamental mistake, for a deeper and more accurate understanding of Mahan as a person and as a naval theorist can be gained by a meaningful examination of his religious beliefs. God and Sea Power is the first work to examine in a detailed and con-textual way how Mahan’s faith influenced his views on war, politics, and foreign relations.

SUZANNE GEISSLER holds master’s degrees in history and theolo-gy from Rutgers University and Drew University, respectively. She received her PhD in history from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Geissler is professor of history at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.

LION IN THE BAYThe British Invasion of the Chesapeake, 1813–14

By Stanley L. Quick with Chipp Reid

The story of Fort McHenry’s defense during the War of 1812 is well known, but Lion in the Bay is an intimate look at the events leading up to the battle that inspired our national anthem. As the War of 1812 raged on the high seas and along the Canadian border, the British decided to strike at the heart of the United States, the relatively undefended area of the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake was a fertile farm region, a place of renowned shipbuilding, and an area politically divided over the war. Plus, if the British succeeded in taking the bay, the nation’s capital was not far away. Admiral George Cockburn led the British into the bay following a failed attempt to take Norfolk, Virginia. Originally intended to relieve pressure on other fronts, the Chesapeake theater became a British campaign of retribu-tion for the burning of York (present day Toronto) by the Americans in 1812. As a result, the Chesapeake region, once an economic engine for America, was transformed into a region of terrorized citizens, destroyed farms, and fears of slave insurrection.

In August 1814, President James Madison refused to bolster the defenses on the waterway that led to Washington, and the British took advantage. Cockburn again led a naval force into the bay, this time running into opposition from Commo. Joshua Barney and his Chesapeake Bay Flotilla. Barney put up a heroic, though doomed fight before the British sailed up the Patuxent River and landed at Benedict, Maryland, where over 4,000 troops disembarked to begin their advance toward Washington, D.C.

After defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, the British moved into Washington, burning the city, before returning to their boats and setting out for Baltimore. There, the British armada encountered a stalwart group of American defenders at Fort McHenry. Despite a massive bombardment, Baltimore’s defenses held, forcing the British to abandon their campaign to close the Chesapeake. More than just an in-depth look at one front of the War of 1812, Lion in the Bay is a story of resilience and triumph in the wake of catastrophe.

The late STANLEY QUICK served on active duty in the U.S. Navy from 1944–47 before working for many years as a naval architect and civilian engineer. He received his PhD from Brooklyn Polytechnic in 1963 and began a long career with Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Upon his retirement in 1985, Dr. Quick formed his own company, Man-Tech Associates Inc., a consulting firm in management and technical programs. He died in 2008, survived by Marian, his wife of forty years.

CHIPP REID is an award-winning reporter and editor, a licensed ship captain, historian, and Cold War veteran. He has covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as baseball, international soccer, and international piracy. Reid now works in Washington, D.C. and lives in Annapolis, Maryland, with his two dogs. His book Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign was named a “Notable Naval Book of 2012” by Proceedings magazine.

PRACTISE TO DECEIVELearning Curves of Military Deception Planners

By Barton WhaleyIntroduction by Denis Clift, Edited by Susan Stratton Aykroyd

Written by the undisputed dean of U.S. denial and deception experts, Practise to Deceive is the most in-depth look at deception as a military strategy. Barton Whaley knew the history of denial and deception across time, disciplines, and culture. He was the foremost authority on the intricacies of denial and deception strategy and tactics. For Whaley, deception was a mind-game, requiring imagination, deep critical thought, a profound understanding of the enemy as well as one’s self (a variation of Sun Tzu), and patience and fortitude.

This book presents 88 vividly descriptive case studies to serve as a handbook for intelligence and military professionals. In Whaley’s analysis, variations in guilefulness between opposing individuals or groups can be crucial in deciding who achieves victory in combat.

BARTON WHALEY received his bachelor of arts in Chinese studies from the University of California, Berkeley before serving with the intelli-gence section of U.S. Army Psychological Warfare headquartered in Tokyo during the Korean War. Following the war, he attended London University School of Oriental and African Studies before receiving his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was affiliated with the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and worked for the director of National Security’s Foreign Denial and Deception Committee of the Director of National Intelligence. He passed away in 2013.

WHEN THE MEN GO OFF TO WARPoems

By Victoria Kelly

Collecting the nationally-recognized poems of Victoria Kelly, When the Men Go Off to War captures the hopes, anxieties, and intimacies of the military spouse during a time of war. Written over the course of her husband’s deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan, these haunting poems span vast geographical distances and generations, moving between the literal and the fanciful to find community in the midst of isolation. Kelly blends lyric and narrative elements to evoke themes of loneliness and human fragility with keen insight. But ultimately, When the Men Go Off to War is a heartrending ode to enduring romance and the reclamation of a marriage tested by loss and separation.

A graduate of Harvard University, Trinity College Dublin, and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, VICTORIA KELLY’s fiction and poetry have appeared in Best American Poetry 2013 and renowned literary journals such as Alaska Quarterly Review, Southwest Review, Prairie Schooner, North American Review, and Hopkins Review.

HUNTERS AND KILLERSVolume 1: Anti-Submarine Warfare from 1776 to 1943

By Norman Polmar and Edward Whitman

Hunters and Killers is the first comprehensive history of all aspects of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) from its beginnings in the 18th century through the important role of present anti-submarine systems and operations. Published in two volumes, the work discusses anti-sub-marine warfare operations in World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and today. In addition to tactical and strategic narratives of major ASW campaigns, the work covers the evolution of ASW sensors, weapons, platforms, and tactics.

This first volume looks at the often ignored reaction to the earliest submersible attack on British warships in 1776 to the first, primitive ASW actions of World War I. World War I saw the Germans use U-boats to devas-tate British shipping, nearly driving the country out of the war. Here the authors look at the development of the innovative, but rudimentary sensors and weapons that the Allies used to counter the U-boat threats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters.

Still, the U-boats were never completely defeated in the Great War, and the ensuing chapters about the two decades between the world wars narrate the devel-opment of sonar, radar, and ASW ships, as well as changing political attitudes toward undersea warfare.

The remainder of the first volume covers the first half of World War II’s Battle of the Atlantic, from September 1939 to the U-boat crisis in the spring of 1943. This section discusses the influence of intelligence, gained mainly through cryptography, on the Battle of the Atlantic.

Polmar and Whitman have created a thorough, well-researched reference for anyone interested in the development of ASW.

NORMAN POLMAR is an analyst, consultant, and author specializing in naval, aviation, and science and technology issues. He has been a consultant or advisor on naval-related issues to three U.S. senators, the Speaker of the House, and the Deputy Counselor to the President, as well as to the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has written or coauthored more than 50 published books and numerous articles on naval, aviation, technology, and intelligence subjects.

EDWARD WHITMAN studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later earned a PhD in that field from the Uni-versity of Maryland. During his 40-year Navy civilian career, Dr. Whitman held senior management positions in various Navy and Department of Defense organizations, including the Sixth Fleet, Defense Advanced Projects Agency, and Office of the Secretary of the Navy. After retiring from the Department of the Navy in 1998, Dr. Whitman was the senior editor of the magazine Undersea Warfare for five years.

THE SAILOR’S HOMERThe Life and Times of Richard McKenna, Author of The Sand Pebbles

By Dennis L. Noble

There are virtually no biographies of naval enlisted person-nel, making Dennis L. Noble’s book wholly unique. Richard McKenna was an enlisted sailor for twenty-two years, from the late 1930s to the end of the Korean War. Like most of his shipmates, he was one of many “faceless” enlisted sailors. McKenna, who eventually became a writer, did not hide the fact that, like the proverbial sailor, he enjoyed going ashore to such colorful-sounding establishments in China as “Nagasaki Joe’s.” Nor did he hide his interest in Japanese and Chinese women.

While all of this would seem to indicate McKenna had become the stereotypical enlisted sailor, he did not fit neatly into this niche. Two important qualities made McKenna stand out among the many enlisted sailors. The first was his indomitable will, his desire to rise up against seemingly great odds and continue onward even when events seemed to conspire against him. The average person might have given up and moved on without trying to overcome the many adversities placed in their path. The second distin-guishing quality was his desire to be educated and to write.

McKenna set out to record his experiences in a novel. His love of machinery, his acceptance by the sailors he served with, his experiences ashore with crews at their normal haunts, his interest in other cultures, and his natural intel-ligence all influenced his writing. For the first time readers could understand the typical life of a sailor. His book, The Sand Pebbles, became a classic in naval literature and a major motion picture starring Steve McQueen in 1966.

While McKenna focused largely on the enlisted force, his work applies to anyone in the military, especially those in the sea services. The Sailor’s Homer, in addition to giving context to McKenna’s writings, includes his short story “Hour of Panic,” which is difficult to find in its entirety. This biography offers more than just a frame for McKenna’s work. It provides a fuller perspective on the life of all enlisted sailors of his era, showcasing the oft-forgotten good alongside the bad. Cdr. Thomas Cutler, USN (Ret.), author of A Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy, best sums up Richard McKenna’s life and work: they are “a virtual training ground for those who must encounter other cultures in their travels and a study in human character with a particular relevance to those who wear uniforms.”

DENNIS L. NOBLE entered the enlisted force of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1957 and retired as a senior chief marine science technician in 1978. Upon retirement, he attended Purdue University, receiving a PhD in history. He is the author of fifteen books and has received numerous awards. He lives in Sequim, Washington, with his wife, Loren and a spoiled cat.

SEAMANSHIP IN THE AGE OF SAILAn Account of Shiphandling of the Sailing Man-O-War, 1600–1860

By John Harland

Numerous successful reprints of contemporary works on rigging and seamanship indicate the breadth of interest in the lost art of handling square-rigged ships. Model makers, marine painters, and enthusiasts need to know not only how the ships were rigged but how much sail was set in each condition of wind and sea, how the various maneuvers were carried out, and the intricacies of operations like reefing sails or ‘catting’ an anchor.

John Harland has provided what is undeniably the most thorough book on handling square-rigged ships. Because of his facility in a remarkable range of languages, Harland has been able to study virtually every manual published over the past four centuries on the subject. As a result, he is able to present for the first time a proper historical development of seamanship among the major navies of the world.

JOHN HARLAND was born in the great shipbuilding city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Following his medical training he immigrated to Canada. He is a highly active member of the Society for Nautical Research and contributes to its prestige journal The Mariner's Mirror on a wide range of topics.

S SYREN’S SONGA Connor Stark Novel

By Claude Berube

Syren’s Song is the second novel featuring Connor Stark, and it promises to be just as engaging as The Aden Effect. This geopolitical thriller begins when the Sri Lankan navy is unexpectedly attacked by a resurgent and separatist Tamil Tiger organization. The government issues a letter of marque to former U.S. Navy officer Connor Stark, now the head of the private security company Highland Mari-time Defense. Stark and his eclectic compatriots accept the challenge only to learn that the Sea Tigers who crippled the Sri Lankan navy are no ordinary terrorists.

The Sea Tigers have created a new weapon that not even the West possesses, fueling it with a previously undiscovered element. By creating a localized electro-magnetic pulse (EMP), the group and its ruthless leader, Vanni, can effec-tively neutralize any ship, airplane, or missile. With this weapon they’re poised to instigate instability throughout the region.

Half a world away a U.S. diplomatic security agent is found murdered and the Iranian-born Damien Golzari is tasked with the investigation. He finds more than just murder, uncovering a conspiracy connected to the Sea Tigers and their new weapon.

Meanwhile in the forests of Sri Lanka a veteran journalist gets close to uncovering the Sea Tigers mining operation. She learns that they are using local children as laborers, but before she can find out what they are mining, she is discovered by the Sea Tigers.

Connor Stark sets out aboard Syren, a former Navy experi-mental vessel now the flagship of Highland Maritime. Stark and his team race against the clock to prevent another Sea Tiger attack, aided by the help of an old friend leading a U.S. Navy force. Guided by fate or just dumb luck, they unite with Golzari and the journalist. When the Sea Tigers surround Syren, Connor, Golzari, and the journalist must come up with a plan to escape. But the Tigers won’t be beaten so easily, and after cornering Stark and capturing him, he’ll learn firsthand if the relationships he’s cultivated will prove strong enough to beat the odds.

With new allies and new enemies, Stark and company face terrorism, war, conspiracy, and murder. Claude Berube has set Stark up for another exciting adventure.

CLAUDE BERUBE has taught at the United States Naval Academy, worked at the Office of Naval Intelligence and the U.S. Senate, and as an officer in the Navy Reserve deployed overseas. He has been a fellow with both the Brookings Institution and Heritage Foundation. He is the author of three non-fiction books and The Aden Effect, the first book in the Conner Stark series.

SAILOR IN THE WHITE HOUSEThe Seafaring Life of FDR

By Robert F. Cross

Now available in paperback, Robert F. Cross’ Sailor in the White House remains one of the most interesting and intimate books about Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secret Service agents, family, and old sailing pals share stories about their days on the water with America’s greatest seafaring president. The author argues that the skills required to be a good sailor are the same skills that made FDR a successful politician: the abil-ity to alter courses, make compromises, and shift positions as the situation warrants. This perspective on Roosevelt shows how his love of the sea shaped his presidency, and its unique look remains refreshing even today.

ROBERT F. CROSS is a trustee of the USS Slater, the last destroyer escort still afloat in the United States. He previously served as commissioner of the Port of Albany in New York and water commissioner for the City of Albany. He is also the author of Shepherds of the Sea.

AS WE RECALLReminiscences of the Naval Academy Class of 1952

Edited by James A. Sagerholm

As We Recall is the first book of its kind. A collection of reminiscences written by members of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1952, it is a testament to the value of a Naval Academy education. Some stories are of combat in Korea, exploits in space, aerial combat over Vietnam, or development of major weapons systems. Others are stories of life at sea or of the challenges faced by the families supporting their husbands and fathers. It is safe to say, this book is an edifying, intimate, and inspiring history.

VICE ADM. JAMES A. SAGERHOLM, USN (RET.) graduated from the U.S. Naval Acad-emy in 1952. He served on a heavy cruiser in the Korean War, on minesweepers and destroyers, and in nuclear submarines. He spent a year in the White House as exec-utive director of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and his final active duty was as Chief of Naval Education and Training. He retired in 1985 and lives near Annapolis, Maryland.

THE U.S. NAVAL INSTITUTE ON NAVAL INNOVATIONEdited by John E. Jackson

Technological changes are inevitable, often of great benefit, and they must be under-stood by all maritime leaders. Since the Navy’s beginnings, it has created, adapted, rejected, and sometimes grudgingly accept-ed new technologies. This entry into the Wheel Book series considers the nature of technological innovation in the U.S. Navy, and it discusses the manner in which the Navy is currently adopting new technolo-gies like robotic and autonomous systems, CYBER, and LASERS.

S STRIKING THE HORNETS’ NESTNaval Aviation and the Origins of Strategic Bombing in World War I

By Geoffrey L. Rossano and Thomas Wildenberg

Striking the Hornets’ Nest provides the first extensive analysis of the Northern Bombing Group (NBG), the Navy’s most innovative aviation initiative of World War I and one of the world’s first dedicated strategic bombing programs. Very little has been written about the Navy’s aviation activities in World War I and even less on the NBG. Standard studies of strategic bombing tend to focus on developments in the Royal Air Force or the U.S. Army Air Service.

This work concentrates on the origins of strategic bomb-ing in World War I, and the influence this phenomenon had on the Navy’s future use of the airplane. The NBG program faced enormous logistical and personnel chal-lenges. Demands for aircraft, facilities, and personnel were daunting, and shipping shortages added to the seemingly endless delays in implementing the program.

Despite the impediments, the Navy (and Marine Corps) triumphed over organizational hurdles and established a series of bases and depots in northern France and southern England in the late summer and early fall of 1918. Ironically, by the time the Navy was ready to commence bombing mis-sions, the German retreat had caused abandonment of the submarine bases the NBG had been created to attack. The men involved in this program were pioneers, overcoming major obstacles only to find they were no longer needed.

Though the Navy rapidly abandoned its use of strategic bombing after World War I, their brief experimentation directed the future use of aircraft in other branches of the armed forces. It is no coincidence that Robert Lovett, the young Navy reserve officer who developed much of the NBG program in 1918, spent the entire period of World War II as Assistant Secretary of War for Air where he played a crucial role organizing and equipping the strategic bombing campaign unleashed against Germany and Japan. Rossano and Wildenberg have provided a definitive study of the NBG, a subject that has been overlooked for too long.

GEOFFREY L. ROSSANO is a graduate of Tufts University and the University of North Carolina and an instructor of history at the Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut. He is the author and editor of many articles and books, including Stalking the U-Boat: U.S. Naval Aviation in Europe during World War I, which won the 2010 Roosevelt Prize in Naval History.

THOMAS WILDENBERG is an independent historian and scholar with special interests in aviators, naval aviation, and technological innovation in the military. He has written extensively about the U.S. Navy during the interwar period, and his writings have appeared in a variety of scholarly journals including the Naval War College Review, Proceedings, and Air Power History. His books on naval history include, Destined for Glory, All the Factors of Victory, Grey Steel and Black Oil, Billy Mitchell’s War with the Navy, and Ship Killer.

AN UNTAKEN ROAD Strategy, Technology, and the Hidden History of America’s Mobile ICBMs

By Steven A. Pomeroy

Steven A. Pomeroy has authored the first history of the American mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a technology the United States spent four decades and billions of dollars creating but never deployed. An Untaken Road showcases how the evolution of a technology that ultimately never existed and the politics that surrounded it end up significantly shaping American nuclear strategy and forces for decades.

Utilizing recently declassified documents, years of experience, and an unrivaled passion for the history of military technologies, Pomeroy has created a new framework on the nature of strategic weapons technology innovation. This thorough study of a “road not taken” is a must read for those seeking to understand the challenges and constraints on U.S. military weapon programs, especially when inter-organization competition, domestic politics, strategic needs, and new technologies collide.

STEVEN A. POMEROY is an historian of technology and an associate professor of military and strategic studies at the Air Force Acade-my, where he served as the Senior Military Faculty for Strategy and Technology. A twenty-five year Air Force veteran and former nuclear launch officer, he received his PhD from Auburn University. He researches, writes, and teaches on technological change and history, processes of innovation, strategy, and emerging technologies.

THE OTHER SPACE RACEEisenhower and the Quest for Aerospace Security

By Nicholas Michael Sambaluk

The Other Space Race is a unique look at the early U.S. space program and how it both shaped and was shaped by politics during the Cold War. Eisenhower’s “New Look” expanded the role of the Air Force in national security, and ultimately allowed ambitious aerospace projects, namely the “Dyna-Soar,” a bomber equipped with nuclear weapons that would operate in space. Eisenhower’s space policy was purely practical, creating a strong deterrent against the use of nuclear arms against the United States.

With the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, the political climate changed, and space travel became part of the United States’ national discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling of the “Dyna-Soar” program and the transition from Eisenhower’s space policy to John Kennedy’s. This well-argued, well-researched book gives much needed perspective on the Cold War’s influence on space travel and it’s relation to the formation of public policy.

NICHOLAS MICHAEL SAMBALUK is an assistant professor of practice in military science and technology for Purdue University and a research fellow for the Army Cyber Institute at West Point. He earned his PhD in U.S., military, and international relations history from the University of Kansas in May 2012.

BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH WARSHIP CAMOUFLAGE OF WWIIVolume II: Battleships & Aircraft Carriers

By Malcolm George Wright

During World War II, navies developed camouflage for their ships. Applying it to both vertical and horizontal surfaces, they reduced visibility and confused the identi-ties of their ships to the enemy. Maritime artist Malcolm Wright continues his depic-tions of the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned the capital ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth. Many schemes included in this volume are difficult to find without intensive research, making this a unique and valuable resource.

MALCOLM GEORGE WRIGHT is an Australian maritime artist who has spent five decades researching ships’ camouflage, making notes while interviewing veterans and consulting official sources, photographs and the work of artists of the era. He lives in Adelaide where he is also the director of the Adelaide Festival of History.

SHIPHANDLING FUNDAMENTALS FOR LITTORAL COMBAT SHIPS AND THE NEW FRIGATES By Joseph A. Gagliano

Shiphandling Fundamentals for Littoral Combat Ships and the New Frigates is the first authoritative book on the theory and practice of driving U.S. Navy waterjet ships, originally known as “Littoral Combat Ships” (LCS). Authored by a career shipdriver who was part of the first generation of LCS commanding officers, every method presented within these pages has been validated through the successful development of experienced LCS shiphandlers, including ensigns, department heads, and even commanding officers. Though it is based on shiphandling theory, this book is meant to be a practical guide for both novice shiphandlers and those already experienced on propel-ler-driven ships. Gagliano’s work serves as a book of best practices, offering advice to maximize training opportunities in the simulator and to exercise complete control over the ship with waterjets.

JOSEPH A. GAGLIANO is a career naval officer who has served in multiple Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and commanded USS Independence (LCS 2). He holds a PhD and master’s degree from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, a master’s degree from the U.S. Naval War College, and a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Naval Academy.

THE BLUEJACKET'S MANUAL, 25th EDITIONBy Thomas J. Cutler

For well over a century, this venerable book has been a mandatory part of every Sailor’s sea bag. When it first appeared in 1902, there were instructions on rowing and sailing, “sighting telescopes,” and “wig-wag” code, all subjects of importance to the Bluejackets of the day. This new edition reflects technologies, cultural attitudes, and terminology that would be foreign to those turn-of-the century Sailors, but the relevance of this long-standing reference and instructional guide remains. Written by a Sailor whose service included sea duty in patrol craft, destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers as both an officer and a “white hat,” this newest edition has been overhauled once again to reflect the current state of the ever-evolving U.S. Navy, including changes in uniforms, ratings, ships, aircraft, and personal policies, among many others. Primarily intended to serve Sailors (from seamen to admirals), this book has long been used by potential recruits, Navy buffs, and a cadre of dedicated collectors.

THOMAS J. CUTLER has been serving the U.S. Navy in various capacities for more than fifty years. The author of many articles and books, including A Sailor’s History of the U.S. Navy and the last four editions of The Bluejacket’s Manual, he is currently the Director of Professional Publishing at the Naval Institute Press and Fleet Professor of Strategy and Policy with the Naval War College.
