Officer of the Deck
Author:
Herbert Kriloff
Narrator:
Sean Mangan
Officer of the Deck is much more than a simple war memoir; it is very much a coming-of-age story, and even more an epic of the sea. Ensign Kriloff assigned to the USS William B. Preston from 1939 to 1943 as the crew patrol Japanese waters, survive an attack by enemy aircraft, and make a daring escape along the remote west coast of Australia. More responsibility is placed on his shoulders and the end of 1943, Lieutenant Kriloff has gained enough experience to take on a commanding role of his own. This classic tale retells in compelling detail a young man's advancement through the ranks as he learns real-world lessons no Annapolis classroom could ever impart.
