Admiral's Yarn,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Admiral's Yarn (U.S. Naval War College Historical Monograph Series, No. 14.) (Paperback)
Memoirs of Admiral Harris Laning, who was Pres. of the Naval War College (NWC) from 1930 to 1933. These recollections are not merely a "yarn" or the reminiscences of a distinguished naval officer. In fact, Adm. Laning's career coincided exactly with the rise of the U.S. Navy from a small & technologically obsolete service to the world's largest & most advanced naval org. His leadership of the NWC occurred when many of the ideas about the conduct of naval warfare received detailed attention from a great number of men who would implement those ideas a dozen years later. Also includes Laning's opening address delivered before the NWC staff & classes of 1931; & Laning's thesis written while a student in 1921, "The Naval Battle." Illustrated
