Synopsis
The first two tenets of Commodore Arleigh Burke's "Doctrine of Destroyer Squadron 23," which he read to his officers moments after his commission took effect, were Anything concerning killing the enemy was important; anything not concerning killing the enemy was unimportant. Considering the division's history of inaction, this new line of thinking fell on eager ears. Under Burke's leadership, DesRon 23 made a complete turnaround, steaming full ahead into the heart of the Pacific war. A wise leader, Burke concluded that commanding with loose rein would yield the best results from this particular division. He couldn't have been more correct."Destroyer Squadron 23" introduces you to one of the most able, courageous and aggressive forces the Navy has ever seen. The dialogue that fills these pages reveals a chemistry among commander, skippers and crew that could exist only among men born to work as one, resulting in single sense of purpose shared by every sailor in the squadron - and devastating to any enemy ship that crossed its path.This book truly brings you as close to experiencing sea warfare as a reader can get, and it's a great combination of imagery and historical fact.
