Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0160494427 | ISBN-13: 978-0160494420

Traces the modern research and development center from its dual origin when David Taylor and George Melville brought science and technology to the emerging steam-driven steel fleet, through a full century of modernization and several reorganizations. Details the constant work to transform vision into reality, and to keep innovation flowing from cutting-edge science and technology into the Navy's ships and submarines.
