US Navy Ships in Darwin 28 Sept 2013 V3 US Navy: Darwin port visits, 2000 – 2013 (September) Richard Tanter Updated: 27 September 2013 Note on data and sources: The comprehensiveness and reliability of this dataset is uneven. For periods when the principal sources are answers to parliamentary questions on notice, there is a high likelihood information is both comprehensive and reliable. In other periods, data is less complete, and in some instances less reliable. Periods not covered by parliamentary questions at this time are January-December 2000, December 2006 – February 2007, and August 2008 to the present (highlighted). Care should be taken with interpretations of data presented in these periods. In the periods for which parliamentary sources are available, comparison with data available from other sources for the same period indicates that currently available non- parliamentary sources report less than 25-50% of all USN ship visits according to parliamentary sources (see endnotes). In part this is due to the fact that non-parliamentary sources rarely report visits of non-combat ships, such as oilers, ammunition ships, combat stores ship, and hospital ships, even though these are essential parts of 7th Fleet operations and Marine Expeditionary Units. Consequently, actual numbers of visits in the highlighted period entries are somewhat higher than this data shows. General information on ships is drawn from government sources including America’s Navy, U.S.Navy’s Military Sealift Command, Task Force 76 Command List – AmphiBious Force Seventh Fleet, and from non-government sources such as U.S. Carriers - United States Ships (USS) history and deployments, SeaWaves, GloBalSecurity.org, NavSource Naval History - Photographic History of the U.S. Navy, Wikipedia, as well as media sources, especially the Northern Territory News.

  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

World War II was extraordinarily War complex II and dynamic. The Atlantic and Pacific Theaters were radically different from one another, and as the war progressed, the way the war was fought and the tools used to fight the war continuously evolved. Early on, Winston Churchill secured from President Roosevelt an agreement that the Allies would put their main effort into defeating Germany first, and then they would together turn their attention to the Pacific. This “Europe First” policy was not an easy one for Roosevelt to sell to the military, considering it was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which had forced America into the war. It was especially difficult for the United States Navy to deal with this policy. The US Navy considered the Pacific to be their war and, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, this is easy to understand.

  • United States Navy Hospital Corpsman
    HOSPITAL CORPSMAN “Health is necessary in war and cannot be replaced by anything else. Napoleon The primary mission of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, of which the Hospital Corps is a part, is s To keep as many men at as many guns as many days as possible As a member of the Hospital Corps you can contribute directly to the job of keeping our guns firing. There is no better way to serve your country and your fellow man. If you can qualify for admission to the Hospital Corps, the Navy will train you for your duties. Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster.

  • From the USS Chattanooga to the USS Mahan: U.S
    From the USS Chattanooga to the USS Mahan: U.S. Navy Ship Visits to Tallinn When the guided missile destroyer USS Mahan (DDG-72) arrives in Tallinn harbor before Estonia's Victory Day celebrations, it will be the latest in a long line of U.S. Navy ships to drop anchor in Estonia. This USS Mahan is the fifth U.S. Navy ship to carry the name of Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914), a noted U.S. naval historian and theorist. The U.S. Navy launched the first destroyer named the USS Mahan (DD-102) towards the end of the Great War on August 4, 1918 before being commissioned on October 24, 1918. Just a year later in early November 1919, the light cruiser USS Chattanooga (C-16) – one of the USS Mahan's contemporary vessels – became the first U.S. Navy ship to pay an official visit to the new Republic of Estonia. At the time, the USS Chattanooga served as the flagship of U.S. Naval Forces in European waters. This USS Chattanooga was the second ship of the same name: the original USS Chattanooga was a steamboat built in 1863 at the height of the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) in order to re-supply General Ulysses S. Grant's hungry army in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The newer USS Chattanooga was also performing a delivery of sorts: its mission was to make sure that U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander John A. Gade (then on loan to the U.S. Department of State) made it to his new assignment as the first U.S.

  • Appendix A: Distillation and Reverse Osmosis Brine NOD, Phase I
    This document is part of Appendix A and includes Distillation and Reverse Osmosis Brine: Nature of Discharge for the “Phase I Final Rule and Technical Development Document of Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS),” published in April 1999. The reference number is EPA-842-R-99-001. Phase I Final Rule and Technical Development Document of Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS) Distillation and Reverse Osmosis Brine: Nature of Discharge April 1999 NATURE OF DISCHARGE REPORT Distillation and Reverse Osmosis Brine 1.0 INTRODUCTION The National Defense Authorization Act of 1996 amended Section 312 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA)) to require that the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop uniform national discharge standards (UNDS) for vessels of the Armed Forces for “...discharges, other than sewage, incidental to normal operation of a vessel of the Armed Forces, ...” [Section 312(n)(1)]. UNDS is being developed in three phases. The first phase (which this report supports), will determine which discharges will be required to be controlled by marine pollution control devices (MPCDs)—either equipment or management practices. The second phase will develop MPCD performance standards. The final phase will determine the design, construction, installation, and use of MPCDs. A nature of discharge (NOD) report has been prepared for each of the discharges that has been identified as a candidate for regulation under UNDS. The NOD reports were developed based on information obtained from the technical community within the Navy and other branches of the Armed Forces with vessels potentially subject to UNDS, from information available in existing technical reports and documentation, and, when required, from data obtained from discharge samples that were collected under the UNDS program.

  • Air Capable Ship Visual Landing Aid Systems N88-Ntsp-A-50-9205B/D
    NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN FOR THE AIR CAPABLE SHIP VISUAL LANDING AID SYSTEMS N88-NTSP-A-50-9205B/D AUGUST 2002 N88-NTSP-A-50-9205B/D August 2002 AIR CAPABLE SHIP VISUAL LANDING AID SYSTEMS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) has been developed to identify the life cycle manpower, personnel, and training requirements associated with Air Capable Ship Visual Landing Aid (VLA) Systems. Due to the similarity and close interface between systems, all Air Capable Ship VLA Systems are addressed together in this NTSP, with the exception of the Wind Measuring and Indicating System (WMIS). (WMIS will be addressed in a newly developed NTSP that will include all Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Wind Systems.) The Air Capable Ships complement of VLA Systems includes the Helicopter Operations Surveillance System (HOSS), Stabilized Glide Slope Indicator (SGSI), Horizon Reference Set (HRS), Flight Deck Status and Signaling System (FDSSS), and the Wave-Off Light (WOL). These systems are used to enhance the capability of helicopters to operate at night and in adverse weather conditions from the small flight decks of Air Capable Ships. All Air Capable Ship VLA Systems are beyond the Milestone C Decision Point and are in the Operations and Support Phase of the Defense Acquisition System. The HOSS is operated from the Combat Information Center by Interior Communication Electricians (IC) with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 4746. The HRS, FDSSS, and WOL are operated by Landing Signal Officers (LSO). After activation, the SGSI does not require an operator. VLA Systems are maintained at the organizational and intermediate levels by ICs, Electrician’s Mates, and Electronics Technicians with NECs 4746, 4758, or 4673 as applicable.
