But to be honest, as much as I think carriers are the $$$$, I'm more into submarine warfare. It just seems like you get more of the crazies in that service.

I have that book, got it on sale at coles for 20 bucks
The author is quite the guy, he starts out as a gunner in WWII, graduates to flying A-4's I think, then commanded a carrier and is instrumental in the design and building of the the first nuclear class carrier Nimitz.This kind of graduation is unheard of today.
I think he was in the movie "Top Gun" as well.
