YOU WOULD BE AMAZED BY WHAT SAILORS READ
U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Crishanda K. McCall)Sailors have been readers ever since the forecastle became dominated by literate sailors. Books require no power, can be read most anywhere at any time, even in a crowded berthing area where people are trying to sleep. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has always known this and a few years ago decided to take advantage of this sailor's tradition by publishing a list of suggested readings. Trust us the list is no anthology of naval terms dictionaries or gunnery manuals. The CNO was aiming at nothing kess than stretching sailor minds. Anyone could learn from and enjoy these books. Lets look at just a few of the latest listings:
The books are presented as book cover icon hyper links. Click on any books cover icon and you will pull up the dust cover description, possibly some reviews, scroll down for the ISBN numbers if you want to try a library loan, this is also a point of purchase but there is no obligation to buy. If you are a naval professional scroll down for our hyperlinks to the CNO's reading program, a similar program from the Naval War College and a link to the navy on line library where you may be able to read some of these works on line for free.
You can read more about the CNO's reading program and a similar program by the Naval war College via the links below and also there is a link to the Navy's on line library where naval professionals may be able to read some of the titles for free or find inexpensive sources.
