...power. Drawn wide by a briefing officer, they reveal the secret wall maps in the blue-and-gold Pentagon office of the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations. The clock strikes 8 bells-and the Navy's boss, a sea roll to his stride, a faint touch of salt-spray green on the broad gold stripes on his sleeve, barges through the door at 31 knots.
