Book Synopsis Ready to Answer All Bells by : David D. Bruhn
Download or read book Ready to Answer All Bells written by David D. Bruhn and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first American book on shipboard engineering in nearly twenty years, this useful reference offers a guiding philosophy to new, experienced, and prospective engineers. Focusing on the art of the engineer rather than the doctrine and regulations that govern the technical side of the billet, it helps them be more effective at their jobs. Assuming that readers already possess basic knowledge of engineering principles and practices, the author sets forth a coherent blueprint to achieve and maintain the level of readiness necessary to support sustained operations at sea. This guide provides insights born of the diverse and hard-won deckplate experience of former engineer officers aboard a variety of ships and submarines. The author and contributors, who have served in a number of engineering positions both at sea and ashore, include a former commander of a destroyer readiness squadron, a former commanding officer of a nuclear-powered attack submarine, and three officers currently commanding conventional gas turbine or diesel-powered surface ships. Acknowledging that the always demanding duties and responsibilities of the fleet's engineer officers have become even more challenging in recent years as funds for maintenance and training decrease, they emphasize the need for shipboard engineers not only to master technical knowledge but to lead, manage, and optimize the use of the personnel and material assets available to them. Their collective wisdom will help flatten the seemingly overwhelming learning curve that engineers must climb. From taking over the department, through overhaul, to the various evolutions and assessment processes that confirm readiness to deploy to faraway regions of the world, this book guides the reader through all the challenges that the engineer officer will encounter, striking a balance between current fleet conventions and engineering practices that have stood the test of time. Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine engineering officers and Navy surface and submarine warfare officers will all benefit from heeding its advice, which until now could only be learned through experience.

Book excerpt: When Rudolph Halouk Daus was born in 1933 in Paris, France, to an Ottomon princess and an American Beaux Arts educated entrepreneur with Jewish Rabbinical and French Catholic roots, no one had any idea that in just seven years, the German Army would invade France and uproot his family, sending all of them to fulfill new destinies.

As he details his singular progress across continents, Daus provides an unforgettable glimpse into a circuitous and star-crossed life as he experienced adventures, challenges, and heartbreaking trials as an American Naval Officer and was eventually led into a second career as a law firm manager and a third career as an entrepreneur whose ventures steered him from America to Turkey, Japan, and the Wild East of Central Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right or wrong, left or right, should I, or shouldn’t I? Every minute of every day, people make decisions that will change the course of their lives. Usually, the course change is small and insignificant. Sometimes it is profound. Not only does it affect the person making the decision, but it also alters the path of everyone around them. Satan’s Guitar offers the most crucial decision ever, Good or Evil? When a number of players decide to take advantage of the guitar’s evil influence, the impact is dramatic and far-reaching. This is a tale about how a simple stringed instrument ruined the lives of everyone directly involved with it, and many thousands that were not. Should you run across a double-black guitar case, it would be best not to open it. But if you do and then decide to play the enticing blood-red guitar wickedly nestled inside, be prepared for complete destruction.

Book excerpt: After his stint in the U.S. Navy, Stan Olsson has made a comfortable life as an American literature teacher in Minneapolis. But that all changes when he gets a mysterious phone call and ends up meeting a man who will change the course of his life. The Coast Guard and the DEA cannot control drug trafficking in the Caribbean, and an organization of zealous vigilantes has something stealthier to put into play. That something is a "ghost ship," a vessel that has been surreptitiously acquired and armed with the specific intent to intercept vessels smuggling drugs in the Caribbean. Olsson has the chance to command it. Against his better judgment, he accepts. Olsson is told that he's not working for the CIA or the military, but for a small, undercover group that will take direct and forceful action against the drug trade. But how will Olsson and his crew respond when violent events force them to confront their innermost selves? As the clandestine operation travels through the labyrinths of the federal bureaucracy and the whirlpools of power in Washington, the interwoven network of complicity, both active and unwitting, raises a chilling question: Are men molded by duty, or do they mold duty to their own will?

Captain Powers receives his orders from the STARCORE High Council, via Admiral Fantong about the need for an observation post. General Gerhing puts a special clause in the message to the USS PERFORMANCE asking that CW01 Weatherspoon lead the ship's auxiliary force. The general further requests that CW01 Weatherspoon head up the landing party. The Gardenians have put into motion the plan to capture STARCORE's only functional cyborg outside of the laboratory. All that is left now is for the Gardenians to kill anyone involved with the plan so that nothing can connect them to the diabolical seizure. As the mission continues, both the landing party and the ship are plagued with internal and external problems. Many questions suddenly have to be answered such as: How many lives will this operation cost? What are the ramifications? What is the price to be paid by all parties involved?
