Tom Clancy, has the whole book perfect. He starts off expalining the whole world of carriers and naval aviation, then an interview ith the Cheif of naval operation, then he describes an aviators life, then how the carriers are built, then the planes (now and future), weapons, the parts of a carrier battle group, a good look at the george washington (cvn 73), an examination of a fleet exercise, and finally a short story about carrier war with india. the whole book is a brrilant insight into carriers. anyone who is intrested should get it. i thought this book would be boring but was suprised and i love it.

All of is books display a depth of understanding and insight that is very hard to duplicate in an area where secrecy is paramount for security!this is just another of those efforts! keep them coming tom!
Format:Paperback
I have read this book and the one in this series about submarines. For what it is worth, it is a good book that covers a lot about life onboard a US carrier. This is the military and they are not going to let somebody know too much about how it all works and write a book about it. But you get a good picture as to what is real and the glamour you get with movies like Top Gun. At the time, it was still very much an all male crew, but things have changed a bit since then. If you are interested in this sort of thing, it is worth looking at.

Just what it says it is
Tom Clancy should best stick to fiction. Or maybe it's just me: I bought this boook expecting to find a lot on the role of the aircraft carrier AND of the other ships in a CVBG. Read more

Another well written and constructed book
I am a great fan of Tom Clancy. Over the years I have come to buy his novels without reading the resume or write up, but just by knowing that he wrote it. Read more
