Table of Contents

Articles

• The Only Option?
  George E Lowe
  Increasingly, the so-called "blue-water option" appears to be the most logical choice to implement the Nixon Doctrine and, simultaneously, meet the pressing needs of American society.
• The Frustration Factor
  Cdr. F B. Sbmanski, USN
  No pay increases, no mushrooming of four-bedroom housing units, no cut-rate commissaries or free prenatal care can really compensate when frustration infiltrates the soul of a man or a ship.
• Ships at Sea; Maritime Facts of Life
  W. R. Nichols, Jr.
  For many, superficial familiarity with seaborne transportation has bred contempt. Because it has been around forever, they reason, it must be old hat. It must be obsolete, mustn't it?
• Command Leadership and the Black Serviceman
  Hon. L. Howard Bennett, Director for Civil Rights
  The Armed Forces, which have changed from a segregated to a functionally integrated society, must now move toward becoming a true brotherhood among comrades in arms.
• From Cockpit to Conn
  Capt. Robert F Hunt, USN
  For the naval aviator, the significant transition from the cockpit to the captain's chair is greatly helped as the experiences of airmanship are applied to the new responsibilities of deep draft seamanship.
• Early Russian Shipboard Aviation
  R. D. luiyman and Boris V. Drashpil
  Russian naval interest in the usefulness of specialized aviation vessels, it would seem, was established nearly half a century before the appearance of the Moskva.
