Title: Great naval reference
Product review: I highly reccommend this as a reference book. It has a reading style explaining several traditions, myths, or terms per page. Terms like "Batten the Hatch", "No Quarter", and "Shangheid" are explained in their origin and modern use. It also has a section in the back where modern scholars have conducted research to determine any mistakes made and clear them up. Wonderful old llustrations with each definition. I could not put it down and read it straight through. I gave this as a gift to a friend that is a Navy Chief, and he loves it.
