U.S. Naval Academy professors Benjamin F. Armstrong and John Freymann’s Developing the Naval Mind is an ambitious handbook for inculcating not only knowledge of naval thought but also the skills necessary for lifelong engagement with the field.

Thus, they announce their intention to “provide resources to officers, Sailors, and Marines who desire to learn in the fleet.”
