Newly Commissioned Naval Officer's Guide

Fully revised, this third edition of Newly Commissioned Naval Officer’s Guide continues to be an essential resource for all of those at the pivotal transition from midshipmen and officer candidates to newly commissioned naval officers from all service communities.
