This is a great book and I really enjoyed it. I read some of the other reviews and I must say it seems that the fact this is fiction has been forgotten. What I enjoyed was seeing the ship under her skipper turn into a highly effective fighting ship and unlike some of our other wars it was not micromannaged from the White House. The other thing I liked was the President that listened to people that knew what they were talking about and were not afraid to think outside the box and then acted on their advice. Yes, this is fiction and what is covered is highly unlikely ever to really happen but the point is made several times about how the Armed Forces were drawn down too far as is about to happen again just as it has after every war we have fought.
