It's basically a field guide on how to be the commander of a ship in the US Navy, written by a former commander. It lays out, in general, the entire scope of what a ship's commander's job is, and it's enormous. Topics covered include: the commander's complete and total responsibility for ALL aspects of the operation of the ship; how to organize and train a crew for a brand new ship; how to smoothly assume command of an existing ship; ensuring that all crew members are trained for day-to-day operations as well as their combat assignments; ensuring that all crew members have opportunity and training to advance in their naval careers; ensuring that all systems operate perfectly all the time; ensuring that all maintenance is done perfectly, on time, every time; acting as the chief engineering, administrative, sailing, maintenance, navigating, and combat leader; all the on-shore duties including interfacing with embassy and US Navy staff and crew member families; etc etc etc. I'm a US Naval history buff, but I really did not appreciate what a HUGE job a ship's commander has. This book was a little dry at points, and used jargon that did not show up in the glossary (Google helped here), but my eyes were certainly opened. Recommended for anyone with an interest in US Naval history. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
First published in 1943, this book has long been the key resource for U.S. Navy officers preparing for command at sea. This sixth edition reflects the sweeping changes that have occurred over the past decade in the mechanics of how command at sea is executed and the context in which commanding officers work. Among these changes are the adoption of a new maritime strategy that identifies maritime security and humanitarian assistance as core competencies; a post 9-11 environment in which maritime intercept operations and irregular warfare are key; the rise of piracy; increasing joint and combined operations; the growing capacity to share information; and the modernization of the fleet. An expanded discussion of the submarine-related aspects of command is also included. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
