David L. Golemon Legend

For my family — Steve, Scott, and Ric.

The few become fewer.

For my aunts and mother, the four sisters of the Apocalypse, living large at the time of the Depression and conquering at the time of war. The world has become a lesser place in your absence.

For Katie Anne, Brandon Lynn, Shaune David, and Cindy Michelle — my children.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to take time out to thank my editor, Pete Wolverton; without Pete and his guidance, all would be lost. Also to Katie at Thomas Dunne, forever answering the mundane questions of the unenlightened.

Finally, to the United States Navy, consistently setting the standard among the American armed forces for professionalism and foresight. To the blue ocean and brown water navy, without whose cooperation this book would not have been possible.
