This authoritative biographical guide presents the lives and
careers of over six hundred men and women who have made their mark
in the world's fighting navies, from the sixteenth century to the
present day.
From the great admirals who won - or lost - major sea battles, to
commanders who specialised in minesweeping; from eminent naval
administrators to those who designed the ships, it features those
who have helped to shape sea-warfare around the world.
Covering key events from the Battle of Trafalgar to those of World
War Two and the Vietnam War, this is an invaluable work of
reference for anyone interested in naval history.
The Sea Was Always There is one man's story about learning from the
sea. It includes the joy, pain, victory, defeat, surprises, and
humor involved in the process. The narrative spans areas of the
globe extending from the east coast of the Indian Ocean, across the
Pacific, Caribbean, Atlantic, and into the Mediterranean. The many
personal episodes that make up The Sea Was Always There deal with
real people, places, and events, and it is based on personal
experiences drawn from four sources: two years at sea with the U.S.
Navy, sailing in a wide variety of venues, travel to places with
deep connections with the sea, and writing about two heroes from
the Age of Sail.
