The Wardroom: An Officer's Tour at Sea and the Crisis of the U.S. Navy

The Wardroom recounts an officer's tour aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. Among other adventures, Thibaut Delloue confronted Russian battlecruisers off the coast of Syria and fought ISIS in Libya, all while struggling with an unhinged captain and his own sanity. More than just one sailor's narrative, The Wardroom explores the Navy's enigmatic surface warfare community. Amidst his own story, Delloue delves into the tragedies of the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain in 2017, two collisions in which seventeen sailors lost their lives. He explains how his experience, and the Surface Navy's broken culture, paralleled and directly foretold these events.
