The Caine mutiny
Book • 1951
The Caine Mutiny is a novel by Herman Wouk, drawing heavily from his personal experiences aboard destroyer-minesweepers in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The story revolves around the USS Caine, a Navy ship commanded by the increasingly erratic Captain Philip Francis Queeg.
Tensions between Queeg and his officers, particularly Executive Officer Steve Maryk, come to a head during Typhoon Cobra, leading Maryk to relieve Queeg of command under Article 184 of the Navy Regulations.
The novel culminates in a court-martial where Lieutenant Barney Greenwald, a naval aviator and attorney, defends Maryk.
The trial exposes Queeg's mental instability and results in Maryk's acquittal, but with significant consequences for the careers of those involved.
The novel explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the complexities of military command.
