Read The Wardroom: An Officer's Tour at Sea and the Crisis of the U.S. Navy By Thibaut Delloue Full Books Online in HD Quality

For one naval officer, life aboard a warship revealed a broken culture directly responsible for two of the greatest tragedies in US naval history.

The Wardroom recounts Thibaut Delloue's tour aboard the destroyer USS Carney, at the time one of only a handful of warships permanently stationed n the US Navy's European fleet. Deployed from 2015 to 2017, Delloue sailed across Europe from the English Channel to the eastern Mediterranean, confronted Russian battlecruisers off the coast of Syria, and fought ISIS in Libya, all while struggling with an unhinged captain.

More than one sailor's narrative, The Wardroom explores the mysterious world of Navy surface warfare officers. Delloue's tour aboard the Carney paralleled the 2017 tragedies of the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain, two separate collisions in which seventeen sailors lost their lives. His story reveals how declining training standards led directly to these incidents and what the Navy can do to fix it.

The Wardroom is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of the modern military. It is a first-hand look inside the Navy and how the average sailor lives it.
