Download or read book Flotsam and Jetsam a Collection of Sea Stories That Have Washed Ashore During a Forty Year Career in the United States Navy written by Hank McKinney and published by Fortis Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Any veteran of the United States Navy knows about "sea stories." If you served in the Navy, it is almost a 100% certainty that you've heard one (probably many more). And maybe even told "one or two" yourself. "Sea stories" and the tellers of them have all the finest attributes of oral historians that preserve the tradition and lore specific to their society. In the service (all branches) older more experienced personnel share much of their knowledge in just such a way. In their finest sense, the story carries with it a lesson learned-a small slice of experience and specific circumstance. Often leavened with humor, sometimes touching on the tragic-the cold hard facts of the risks involved. Stories connect with our own existence and adjust our thinking based on what we learn from what we hear. Good storytellers have a single intent-to touch the listener in some way. Hank McKinney does that. For those who have served you'll see bits of your own service in these stories. And I would be surprised if some of them don't bring a smile in remembrance. You will also sense the pang of separation from family, an unavoidable price paid by those who serve and their families. For those who haven't served-you'll learn much you didn't know. You'll find stories that cover the gamut of experience and responsibility, from midshipman to admiral, told in a refreshing conversational tone. Come onboard and spend some time with Hank McKinney. You'll come away with a better understanding and appreciation for the "Silent Service" and the men and women who serve. I guarantee you will learn things that you never knew about what was essentially a critical component of our front line defense during the Cold War. About the Author Rear Admiral Henry C. (Hank) McKinney, USN (Retired) is a native of La Grange, Illinois.

Download or read book Flagship Captain written by George P Sotos and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Captain George Sotos became the first and only American military commander in history to set his facility at DEFCON 1 in readiness for nuclear war. And what a facility it was - a top secret command center, buried under a Hawaiian pineapple field. Breaking a nearly 60-year silence, Sotos recounts those agonizing days, along with his desperate plan to shelter as many civilians as possible from the nuclear-armed Soviet missiles that would obliterate human life on the island of Oahu. He tells, too, of the command center's inner workings, its pioneering use of computers for military command and control, and the key item on his resumé that tipped one of the U.S. Navy's most powerful admirals to hire him for the job: previous command of a Destroyer. Emerging from World War II as a combat-proven leader, Captain Sotos continues in Flagship Captain the story of his remarkable naval career, begun in the companion book, Living With the Torpedo - now used as a teaching text at the US Naval Academy. His lessons of leadership and ship-handling, in war and in peace, are as timeless as the sea.
Download or read book To Provide and Maintain a Navy 1775 1945 written by Captain Richard L. Wright and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Navy evolved from an ill-formed collection of merchant vessels, privateers, and small frigates into the most capable maritime force in world history . The author employs an historical narrative that describes this evolution of American warships, technology, and force structure as opposed to the battles or tactics in which they engaged. He examines the history of the U.S. Navy from the perspective of the American people and their elected and appointed political leadership—the President, the Congress, the Secretaries of the Navy— and the captains, commodores, and admirals who carried out their directives, as well as the changing nature of the naval establishment, physical infrastructure, and human capital that constituted the industrial base in each era. The U.S. Navy is our nation's first line of defense, composed of the most capable aircraft carriers, surface ships, submarines and naval aircraft ever built. It represents an enormous investment of our nation's treasure, but is designed, built, and operates largely out of the public eye. Naval professionals and students of naval history should learn the forces that determine ‘how’ and ‘why’ we build the ships and aircraft we do, and their true value to the American taxpayer.
