Book excerpt: After enlisting in the Naval Reserve in 1935 and being educated at the University of Michigan, Jackson went on active duty with the Navy in 1941 as an engineering duty officer. During World War II he was at the Boston Navy Yard, did ship design work in the Bureau of Ships, and was assigned to ABSD-3, a floating dry dock in the Western Pacific. After involvement in the 1946 tests of nuclear weapons at Bikini Atoll, he was one of the earliest officers in the Navy's nuclear power program. While at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the 1950s and 1960s he contributed to submarine designs, particularly the teardrop hull of the USS Albacore (AGSS-569), the first Polaris submarines, and the Thresher class. He later served at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and was supervisor of shipbuilding in Groton, Connecticut. In the late 1960s he was a technical adviser in the examination of the remains of the lost submarine Scorpion and in the 1970s rode the Hughes Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193) in Project Jennifer, the attempt to raise a lost Soviet submarine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary memoir, both because of Parker's long period of active duty in the Navy--1942 to 1987--but also because of his achievement of flag rank without benefit of college education. As a machinist's mate, Parker served in the destroyer USS Mervine (DD-489/DMS-31) in World War II, attack transport USS Fremont (APA-44), and destroyer USS Trathen (DD-530) in the Korean War. Interspersed were tours of recruiting duty. He was a warrant officer in the ammunition ship USS Great Sitkin (AE-17) in the 1950s. After becoming a commissioned officer he put the engineering plants of the USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) and USS Josephus Daniels (DLG-27) into service and was later exec of the USS Conyngham (DDG-17) under skipper Harry Train. He commanded the USS Macdonough (DLG-8) and USS Richard E. Byrd (DDG-23) and spent a year with Task Force 116 in country in Vietnam. In addition to commanding Destroyer Squadrons 26 and 10, Parker was instrumental in fleet maintenance improvements and set up the Propulsion Examining Boards which were designed to bring 1,200-psi steam plants up to high standards. His final tour of duty was as Commander Naval Base Norfolk.
