That reputation remains today, although copies have become hard to find in recent years, even in secondhand bookstores." ; "215 biographies presented. All of the top fleet and task force commanders, naval strategists, fighters, reformers, inventors, and legendary heroes in American naval history are covered, from the revolutionary John Paul Jones (who made flag rank only in the Russian navy) to the dynamic though controversial Hyman G. Rickover. Along with photographs or portraits, every entry highlights the dynamic careers of leaders selected from the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Maritime Service, Confederate States Navy, and even the Republic of Texas Navy. Each biographical sketch gives the complete service record, including ship and shore billets, as well as personal and academic background, battles fought, and the feats that made the subject famous. With all these details, the book adds up to a remarkably thorough biographical profile of American naval and maritime history. Accompanying the text is an appendix listing all major U.S. and Confederate naval commands and commanders since 1775 and an index of ship names, officers, battles, and campaigns." ; ex-military library, stamps, labels ; biographies include "Pug" Ainsworth, Daniel Ammen, "Count" Austin, Charles Johnson Badger, William Bainbridge, Joshua Barney, John Barry, George Belknap, James Biddle, "Spike" Blandy, Mark Bristol, Richard Byrd, "Uncle Bill" Calhoun, "Mick" Carney, Samuel CArter, Augustus Case, ISaac Chauncey, "Chick" clarey, "Jocko" Clark, Robert Coontz, Stephen Decatur, Jr, George Dewey, "Donc" Donaho, Samuel DuPont, Calvin Durgin, Edward Eberle, "Fighting Bob" Evans, David Farragut, Bradley Fiske, Frank Fletcher, Andrew Foote, Albert Gleaves, Louis Goldsborough, Caspar Goodrich, "Bull" Halsey, Esek Hopkins, Duncan Ingraham, Jacob Jones, John Paul Jones, James Jouett, William Kimball, Charles joy, Husband Kimmel, Thomas Kinkaid, Alan Kirk, Austin Knight, "Jerry" Land, William Leahy, Samuel Phillips Lee, Willis Lee, Uriah Levy, Stephen Bleecker Luce, William Lynch, THomas Macdonough, Alfred Mahan, Henry Mayo, "Slew" McCain, "Junior" McCain, Bowman McCalla, "Soc" McMorris, Richard McNulty, "Tip" Stanton, "Pete" Mitscher, "Billy" Moffett, Alfred Montgomery, John Berrien Montgomery, Frederick Moosbrugger, Ben Moreell, Samuel Eliot Morison, Charles Morris, Morton Mumma, Albert Niblack, Chester Nimitz, Ralph Ofstie, Ricahrd O'Kane, Foxhall Parker, Daniel Patterson, Matthew Perry, Robert PEary, Oliver Hazard Perry, David Porter, William Pratt, John Dale Price, Alfred Pride, "Red" Raborn, Lawson Ramage, DeWitt Ramsey, George Read, "Bull" Reeves, Hyman Rickover, "Joe" Richardson, Christopher Rodgers, John Rodgers, Hugh Rodman, Charles Rosendahl, Stephen Clegg Rowan, William Sampson, Winfield Schley, Norman Scott, Thomas Selfridge, Raphael Semmes, Ulysses Sharp, Alan Shepard, Forrest Sherman, Frederick Sherman, William Shubrick, Robert Shufeldt, Charles Sigsbee, William Sowden Sims, John Sloat, Roalnd Smoot, "Ziggy" Sprague, Thomas Lamison Sprague, Raymond Spruance, William Standley, Harold Stark, Charles "Old Ironsides" Stewart, Yates Stirling, Robert Field Stockton, Arthur Struble, Felix Stump, Josiah Tattnall, Joseph Taussig, David Taylor, Henry Clay Taylor, John Thach, John Towers, Charles Triebel, Thomas Truxtun, "Handsome Jack" Tucker, Richmond Kelly Turner, Stansfield Turner, "Abe" Vosseller, Russell Waesche, "Fighting Dick" Wainwright, Henry Walke, "Bub" Ward, Abraham Whipple, Reuben Whitaker, Charles Wilkes, "Ping" Wilkinson, Bud Zumwalt; VG/VG.
