Table of Contents

Articles

  • The Art, Science, and Innocence
    Capt. John N. Horrocks. Jr., USN
    Involved in Becoming Chief of Naval Operations
    The respective records and the candid comments of the four most recent CNOs seem to suggest that there are definite guideposts— and danger signs—which must be heeded.
  • The Soviet Merchant Marine
    Antony C. Sutton
    Does the fact that so many Soviet merchant ships are built elsewhere imply a technological inadequacy; or are Soviet yards too busy building other vessels?
  • Retention: The High Cost of Leaving
    John Roger Vredtand
    It is understandable that civilian economists might think that money is the root of all the retention evils. Military men should know better.
  • The U. S. Coast Guard: Where Do We Go From Here?
    Cdr L A. White, USCG
    Having grown to manhood in two foster homes, Treasury and Transportation, many Coast Guardsmen yearn to fill out yet another change-of-address card.
  • Prepare to Sweep Mines
    Cdr. Murland W. Searight, USN
    In January 1968, two known minefields in the Gulf of Tonkin provided the first acid test for Mine Division 9Ts four Agile-class minesweepers.
  • The Naval Medical Officer: The Worst of Both Worlds
    Cdr. Frank E. Dully, Jr., (MC) USN
    A consultation between Doctor Dully and Commander Dully results in a "Physician, heal thyself" prescription for all naval medical officers.
  • Naval Aviators: The Old and the Bold
    Capt. W. D. Toole, Jr., USN
    A not-too-old naval aviator boldly confirms most of what many a non-aviation line officer has long suspected.
  • Pictorial—Newport/Quonset Point Naval Complex
    Photography and Text by William M. Powers. PHC, USN
