Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Every naval officer, regular or reserve, active or retired, should own a copy of this book. Its guidance and advice to officers is as relevant as when this pocket-book was issued 65 years ago. Of special note for all in the naval service is this: "Never forget that the Ratings have few rights; but they definitely have got a right to good officers". This book is an excellent gift for any naval officer or any who are interested in naval history. I cannot commend it too highly. GAFC
