520			_a"A United States Midshipman Afloat" by Lt. Com. Yates Stirling Jr. is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on two newly graduated midshipmen, Philip Perry and Sydney Monroe, as they embark on their naval careers aboard the battleship U.S.S. “Connecticut.” The book explores themes of duty, friendship, and rivalry, particularly as the main character, Philip, navigates the complexities of his relationship with his divisional officer, Jules Lazar, whose past conflict with him introduces tension to their interactions. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the bustling Navy-Yard at Brooklyn, where Philip and Sydney excitedly begin their first day aboard the battleship. As tensions begin to surface, particularly concerning their relationship with Lazar, Philip's insecurities about potentially hostile encounters with his superior officer become apparent. A harrowing incident involving a life boat and a near-accident while at sea leads to serious consequences for Philip, intensifying his struggles with obedience and loyalty. Overall, the opening chapters set the stage for an intricate tale of naval life, personal growth, and the challenges of leadership within the military. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
