Traces the modern research and development center from its dual origin when David Taylor and George Melville brought science and technology to the emerging steam-driven steel fleet, through a full century of modernization and several reorganizations. Details the constant work to transform vision into reality, and to keep innovation flowing from cutting-edge science and technology into the Navy's ships and submarines.

Where the Fleet Begins -A History of the David Taylor Research Center chronicles the first hundred years (1898-1998) of the Center which provides research and testing in the development and design of the U.S. Navy fleet of warships and submarines. Today, the Center continues to design ships and test models using precisely built towing tanks and computer simulation. The book describes the research, people and institutional culture which have brought, during periods of war and of peace, cutting-edge science and technology to the Navy's fleet. The book, with over 100 illustrations, was originally published by the Naval Historical Center, Department of the Navy.

Military historians, especially naval historians as well as general readers interested in the evolution of technology within the navy for scientific modernizations that resulted for the U.S. naval fleet may be interested in this volume.
