Three Knots to Nowhere: A Cold War Submariner on the Undersea Frontline follows my experiences in the United States Navy, from 1966 through 1972 They include my background, Boot Camp, Electricians School, United States Naval Nuclear Program, USS Henry Clay, SSBN overhaul in Charleston S.C., transit to Hawaii, and deterrent patrols out of Guam. The work begins with me and the crew of one of the most powerful weapons on Earth, the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarine, USS Henry Clay manning Battle Station Missile. What follows is a fresh perspective of the secret world of submarine life. It blends introspective insights, interesting and humorous antidotes, and many undocumented aspects of submarine life. It also exposes aspects about life under the sea no one else has revealed. It is the most complete representation of submarine duty to date. The narrative focuses on the enlisted men-the backbone of the submarine service. Its level of detail will appeal to submariners and laypeople.

Industry Reviews

"The author provides an excellent account of his service onboard Henry Clay during the course of two deterrent patrols. Those interested in U.S. Navy nuclear submarine operations will find much of interest in this book and it would be a welcome addition to anyone's Cold War history library"-Military; "a refreshingly straightforward recollection of six years of a young man's life in the U.S. Navy serving onboard a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine...recommend...an excellent scene-setter for life onboard submarines"-The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord.
