When Three Missiles Locked On
A targeting radar locks onto your ship. Then another. Then a third. Iranian missile sites illuminate your vessel with killing intent as you navigate the Strait of Hormuz in the mid-1980s. Do you fire first and risk igniting a regional war? Do you wait and risk your crew's annihilation? Admiral James Stavridis faced exactly this nightmare, forcing himself to "make time slow down"-synthesizing intelligence, reading enemy intentions, maintaining composure while death hung in the balance. This moment captures the essence of naval command: impossible decisions made under crushing pressure, where hesitation kills but rashness destroys nations. Through nine commanders spanning two centuries, we discover that leadership isn't about having answers-it's about choosing wisely when every option looks catastrophic. These stories reveal the weight every leader carries: the burden of deciding for others, the agony of incomplete information, the crushing responsibility of consequences that ripple far beyond the moment.
