I read the DoE biography of Rickover while I was doing my undergrad in Physics at the Naval Academy in the 90s. At that time there were still Navy Captains who had interviewed with Rickover. And I've read pretty much everything I could since. I would say the lessons left behind are more for managers, unfortunately most managers will never read them. They're too busy showing how they can do more with less. Cutting corners is their method.
