This reflects the state of the art the state of knowledge and the state of practice just at the United States was entering the Vietnam War. This revision into the thirteenth edition was undertaken at the request of the U.S. Naval Institute by the Standards and Curriculum Division Training Bureau of Naval Personnel. For nearly half a century The Bluejackets' Manual has been a basic training and reference text for hundreds of thousands of Navy men. During these years the book has incorporated the experience gained from two major wars and has evolved into an ever more effective volume. This thirteenth edition is the most recent step in that evolution. The Bluejackets' Manual was originally prepared in 1902 by Lieutenant Ridley McLean United States Navy and revised in 1914 1916 1922 and 1927 and was revised again in 1938. The Ninth Edition Revised was issued in April 1939 and was the same as the eighth editions except for a few minor corrections and changes in the landing force regulations. The Bluejackets' Manual of 1940 gave all recruits the information necessary to integrate themselves into the Navy and be successful. Wartime editions provided near-real-time incorporation into lessons hard won with blood and sacrifice. The reader will find in this edition everything a recruit would need to know such as: The History The Rules and Regulations Uniforms and Insignias Ordnance etc. There are a number of illustrations and photographs including a few oversized foldouts many in color. Explanations of the how to's of being a Bluejacket! It is also a ready reference for the established Navy man to maintain necessary knowledge and proficiency. United States Naval Institute hardcover
New York: D. Van Nostrand Company Inc 1954. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good/Fair. xii 219 1 pages. Illustrations. Definitions. DJ has wear soiling tears and chips. Commander Edward R. King was the commanding officer of the Destroyer leader John S. McCain. He spent most of his career at sea in destroyers cruisers and battleships. He had his first destroyer command during World War II. The John S. McCain was his fourth command. He and his co-author were classmates 1936 at the Naval Academy. Commander Noel also spent most of his career in destroyers cruisers and amphibious ships and had command of a destroyer for the last two years of WWII. He served in the Department of Seamanship and Navigation at the Naval Academy. This work reflects the state-of-the-art the state of knowledge and the state of practice between the end of Korean War and the development of American military involvement in the conflicts in Indochina and Southeast Asia. A fundamental skill of professional seamanship is being able to maneuver a vessel with accuracy and precision. Unlike vehicles on land a ship afloat is subject to the movements of the air around it and the water in which it floats. Another complicating factor is the mass of a ship that has to be accounted for when stopping and starting. Ship-handling is about arriving and departing a berth or buoy maneuvering in confined channels and harbors and in proximity to other ships whilst at all times navigating safely. Two other types of operations berthing alongside another ship and replenishment at sea are occasionally included. A key ability for a ship-handler is a good understanding of how the wind tide and swell the passage of other vessels as well as the shape of the seabed will affect a vessel's movement which together with an understanding of a specific vessel's performance should allow that vessel a safe passage.

New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1976. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 10 242 4 pages. Noel Bertram Gerson 1913-1988 was an American author who wrote 325 books including several best sellers among them two screenplay novelizations penned under the pseudonym Samuel Edwards The Naked Maja and 55 Days at Peking. Aside from "Samuel Edwards" which would seem to have been his dedicated by-line for tie-in work Gerson used the following nine pseudonyms in addition to his own name: Anne Marie Burgess; Michael Burgess; Nicholas Gorham; Paul Lewis; Leon Phillips; Donald Clayton Porter; Dana Fuller Ross; Philip Vail; and Carter A. Vaughan. After his World War II military experience in Army intelligence he began writing TV scripts before beginning his career as an author in 1950. Gerson's primary focus was on historical novels mostly stand-alone with American history receiving considerable attention. Of note he wrote a number of historical novels about colonial America and also the United States in its formative years. This is the story of one of the most daring projects of modern times. Jointly conceived and executed by an American Intelligence agency and a patriotic industrialist at a cost of many hundreds of millions of dollars. Operation Neptune was a plan to recover a sunken Russian submarine lying on the bottom three miles below the surface of the South China Sea. The price that award success is high: an armed Russian atomic device believed to be on board along with a copy of the Russian navy code. To carry out Operation Neptune new techniques must be developed but above all it is necessary to protect the operations from Russian intelligence and from the Chinese who have their own reasons for wanting to disrupt the work.
