RICHARD V. SIMPSON is a native Rhode Islander who has always lived
within walking distance to Narragansett Bay.
After retiring in 1996 from a Federal Civil Service career with the
U.S. Navy Supply Center and Naval Undersea Warfare Center in
Newport, he began a second career as an author of books on subjects
of historical interest in Rhode Island's East Bay, with his
principle focus on Bristol.
Readers with a penchant for military history will be fascinated by Simpson's research....The book is chock full of interesting illustrations and detailed photographs, several of which starkly show a Newport of a different age. This book is not for the average reader, but like a sleek torpedo itself, it really feels a niche. Newport This Week
