Command at Sea

by William P. Mack, Albert H. Konetzni

This classic guide emphasizes the underlying philosophy behind the many rules, regulations, and customs that govern the commander of a Navy ship. Virtually every subject of relevance to command is covered in a down-to-earth, informal style, from assuming command to relations with subordinate officers and the crew, to fleet operations and combat.

A fine edition of the Command at Sea book. If the topic of nuclear war is in subsequent editions, I have either glossed over it or skipped it. It is a significant portion of this book, which based upon my time in the military is not something that we are trained on these days. Much of the authors thoughts on leadership hold true today. Nothing remarkable presented that isn't already covered in every other leadership book.
