| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Officer of the Deck is much more than a simple war memoir; it is very much a coming-of-age story, and even more an epic of the sea.
Ensign Kriloff was assigned to the USS William B. Preston from 1939 to 1943 as the crew patrolled Japanese waters, survived an attack by enemy aircraft, and made a daring escape along the remote west coast of Australia. By the end of 1943, Lieutenant Kriloff had gained enough experience to take on a commanding role of his own.
This classic tale retells in compelling detail a young man's advancement through the ranks as he learns real-world lessons no Annapolis classroom could ever impart."
