History of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, 1915-2015
Thomas Hone (Author), Curtis A. Utz (Author)
"This is a centennial history of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV). It is organized by the individuals who had the greatest impact on OPNAV. Most of those individuals have been admirals, especially the Chiefs of Naval Operations. At times, however, a Secretary of the Navy, a Secretary of Defense, or a President has taken center stage, forcing the Navy's senior officers to react. In addition, the Navy obviously does not operate in a vacuum. What affects the country certainly influences the Navy. Yet the story of the interaction between the Navy and the nation is too great to be covered in depth here. To cover OPNAV's first century in a reasonable number of pages meant that the authors had to pick and choose among a number of potential topics that were relevant to OPNAV in each segment of its history."--Provided by publisher
