Operations Officer's Guide (The U.S. Naval Institute Blue & Gold Professional Library)

This book is primarily a practical guide to leading and managing the Operations Department aboard a U.S. Navy warship. It is written for the Operations Officer who leads the department, but is a useful tool for anyone interested in how the Fleet works. To succeed in today's Navy, the Operations Officer must understand the global environment where our Navy operates as well as the organizational context of how Navy missions are defined and assigned. It is a short discount textbook.
