Product Overview
United States Navy Lieutenant Commander Yates Stirling Jr. (1872-1948) wrote a series of novels chronicling the adventures of two Naval Academy graduates as they sailed from conflict-to-conflict from South America and around the Pacific Ocean based on his own naval service. Yates retired as a Rear Admiral, as did his father, and was known as the "stormy petrel" for his outspoken comments about the Navy and international affairs.
