Current Tactical Orders and Doctrine

If you cut your teeth on the history of the US Navy in World War II -- Morison, Friedman, Beech, Hornfischer -- you'll find this book an irrestible, and irreplaceable, addition to your bookshelf. In 260 thoroughly illustrated pages it sketches out exactly what US Navy doctrine was at the culmination of the most successful naval war in history, which left the US Navy in unquestioned command of all the world's oceans. It's a fascinating read, and a must for anyone interested in the history of the US Navy. It's also great context for understanding the DNA of modern naval warfare. While ranges and speeds have increased, most of the fundamental challenges in protecting fleets at sea remain largely unchanged.
