‘Skipper’ is the story of a small ship manned by part time reserve navy sailors on a voyage from Singapore to Brisbane, Australia. During the trip the crew, from the Captain on his first ocean voyage to the most junior sailor, is tested by inexperience, a pirate attack, a cyclone and the tragic death of one of their own. Confined to the limits of a one hundred and twenty foot steel box, the crew react in a variety of ways to their new surrounds. Several do not cope and are dismissed. Others learn from the sea and the experienced seamen to overcome doubt and fear to emerge as proud and laudable sailors with skills that will assist them in every walk of life. The sailors that complete the voyage of the Gunnedah, are better for the experience. They will acknowledge the benefits in family relationships, civilian employment and personal achievement. Above all they will return to the sea and introduce others to the lessons learned.

"In addition to other social experiments of the 1970s, some members of the American judiciary ... offered freshly convicted criminals the option of joining the U.S. armed forces, instead of serving their sentences. As a result, the U.S. Navy, among the other branches, was diluted with criminally and psychologically dangerous miscreants, to the detriment of the service, and thus the safety of the nation. ... Captain Yorel, YN3 Lain Byrd, and Seaman Apprentice Sam Ellis ... share a dedication to their country and their duty, in stark contrast to the criminal irresponsibility, endless intrigue, and other misbehavior of the Navy's new human flotsam."--Publisher's description.
