Beschreibung des Verlags
Seeking to establish herself as a major sea-power, the fledging United States Navy chose three young naval officers to serve as diplomatic attachés whose tasks were to visit foreign countries to discover as much as possible about the ship-building capabilities of each country. Great Britain, Russia and France were the initial targets as the three countries were dominate in the art of sea warfare.
Young, eager and willing to learn, Lieutenants Alan Marshall Fisher-Wright, Alexander Gerald Berry and Templin Mathew Potts found that they had much more to learn about than mere ship-building, and the lessons of life that were not taught in the classroom could be quite painful.
