He sign up for the military, in the navy, and he got assigned to the DMS USS Caine. The plot is about his life, how he falls in love, how his dad dies, how he’s decision helped shaping him into a naval officer.
The book shows the way in which Willie Keith is maturing throughout his life and all the experiences that made him change. Willie’s attraction to the Navy started by it’s uniform and how everybody respected people wearing it. Then it became a personal challenge when got 48 demerits and got almost kick out. When got assigned to the DMS USS Caine he hated it and he thought about staying in Hawaii. But a letter that his father sent gave him the desire to succeed on his first unit. All these things helped Willie to discovering his character as a man and as an officer.
The Caine Mutiny is a very interesting book that also shows WWII from a, just graduated, Ensign. It is a book that show us the importance of the events that happen in our lives, the impact that our superiors have in a Coast Guard officer’s life, and how important is to become a leader that upholds the standards and the Core Values the fleet.

<!--StartFragment-->The Caine Mutiny is a challenging, yet enjoyable read. The first of Herman Wouk’s famous books, this novel follows a young man by the name of William Keith through his career in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Many books that I read, especially older novels, are hard for me to get into. This book, however, was surprisingly easy to keep reading. I think this was so for two reasons. The first reason was the intricate and colorful words that Wouk used to describe life in the Navy. He used original descriptions for things about military life that might be difficult for others to understand. The second reason I think it was easy for me to get into was the fact that it was incredibly relatable. I laughed allowed at some of the same ridiculous things that William had to go through as a midshipman. I was able to connect to William the moment I began reading. Herman Wouk has given us an excellent and exciting look into the life of the Navy. <!--EndFragment-->
