The Jumpin' Joey has something for every reader: a studied analysis of mid-twentieth-century geopolitical and military history, a rigorous technical exposition on how to keep a "Tin Can" Navy destroyer up to speed and mission-ready, and reflections by a freshly minted naval officer learning about life and leadership on his first seagoing assignment.
