it is a good read and demonstrates that the damage control techniques taught at Great Lakes and in the fleet really do work!!!!

About half way through "No Higher Honor". Yet another great book. Even though you know the end of the story it truly fascinating to experience what the sailors of the Sammy B went through.

G.K. Chesterton Collected Works are a favorite. My favorite statement he made was "As a journalist, I should have known better than to trust a newspaper" read in context of the previous articles he wrote and the revelations he was making at the time, made it all the more funnier.

To summarize, he was revealing that his previous articles had misinformation because the British government contacted his newspaper and was using it to provide misinformation to the public and that it turns out the newspaper itself was told that it was misinformation, a fact, they failed to inform their own journalists. The reason for the lies made it even funnier.

And that is a good series Bill....had it for quite some time...might have to re-watch it now that you have reminded me about it!

Paul, I can only imagine! But now you have my intrigue piqued so I will be adding Command and Control to my read list!

Ordered a series of videos off Amazon called "Hero Ships" originally on the History channel. It is absolutely a "must have" for all Navy history enthusiasts! Unbelievable!!

I am sure you have heard by now. One of the greats, Tom Clancy, is no longer with us. He was always my go to author, having read all the Jack Ryan novels, atleasttwo times, plus Carrier and Armored. I have read a few of the Netforce books but didn't get hooked on them. Gonna miss him. Salluuuute!
