IN SEARCH OF SILVER AND GOLD This is a story of a young man who graduated from High School and six days later enlisted in the Navy with a career in the Submarine force as his goal. He spent the first eleven years of his enlistment working his way up through the rating structure and qualified for his Silver (Enlisted) dolphins. He then achieved Officer rank and advanced through the ranks and qualified for his Gold (Officer) dolphins. Throughout his thirty-seven years of active service he continued to work toward a college degree while competing for those challenging billets that would help him obtain his goals. His billets included three operating diesel submarines, followed by being a member of the commissioning crews of a new Diesel submarine, two Nuclear Attack submarines, two Nuclear FBM Missile submarines and a catamaran Submarine Rescue ship. He also served on an Ammunition Supply ship and a Submarine Tender. Captain Doyle went to sea with Admiral Rickover on acceptance trials of each of the four nuclear submarines. He was the Bridge Phone Talker on the first two and was the Officer of the Deck on the second two. In Search of Silver and Gold chronicles Captain Doyle’s Navy career and highlights the life career decisions and life threatening events that arose throughout his thirty-seven year adventure!

Credentials are always an important component in establishing any non-fiction writer's creditability. Captain Doyle certainly scores high within this area. His hands-on military knowledge and strong support from his wife helped him to accomplish what few others have--to rise through the ranks from point of enlistment in the United States Navy submarine service to retirement as a Navy Captain.While not a military person, I was particularly impressed with the author's information about the various types of submarines, crew capacity and how they operate, what it takes to become a deep-sea diver, and the important role that a "detailer" plays in helping to establish the career path of those assigned under his/her sponsorship. Captain Doyle also did a most creditable job in giving the reader a good and enjoyable look at his upbringing, integrity, family devotion, and drive to succeed--things that the average reader shall enjoy.
For those seriously interested in building a career in the military, this book provides much insight into the techniques that Captain Doyle used to successfully maneuver through the ranks and achieve what was considered by many--an unreachable goal. Well done Captain Doyle!

I was startled by the honesty, dedication & humbleness of Capt Doyle. A true Phoenix, rising from Seaman Recruit to Captain. His life story is captivating, brutally honest, and is a testament to the “Great Generation”. From post WWII to the mid 1980’s, Capt Doyle details a rich living history of submarine life from diesel to nuclear. The continuous education, training and strong work ethic throughout his career is an inspiration. The variety of experiences of Saturation Deep Sea Diving, Weapons Officer, the transition from Silver to Gold (Enlisted to Officer) is fascinating and gives such insight as to the perseverance and commitment to the Navy, while dedicated to his family.
Captain Doyle has enjoyed a terrific Naval career. Indeed his entire life since High School has been dedicated to service. Service to his country and service to his community is what this story is about. Most highly recommended for all.
If you are just entering the military, you will find a valued role model within these pages. Even established and successful young men and women can learn how to tweak your career through hard work, goal setting, and dedication. Captain Doyle was on the commissioning crew for a number of vessels and that takes a unique skill set to stand out among the already high quality people onboard.
From a personal perspective, Captain Doyle's life story is an enjoyable read. Like so many Navy personnel, he has a loving and dedicated wife who filled in the gaps when he was deployed. His children learned from his example to become successful themselves.
As a retired Naval Officer, I most highly recommend you purchase a copy and enjoy the stories. Written in the first person, it details the many years of a unique and outstanding career.
This book is an easy, enjoyable read from a man who touched all the bases during his Navy submarine career. Full of short snapshots of his involvement with many historical events during the end of the diesel submarine era and the dawn of the nuclear submarine era, Captain Doyle traces his career from high school graduation through the enlisted, warrant officer, limited duty officer and line officer ranks. Captain Doyle's career is a classic demonstration of what hard work, perseverance and focus can achieve. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in life in the U.S. Navy.
