Dewey Certain recent war games at the Naval War College point out for war-gaming professionals a path that will return them to the explorative power of gaming envisioned by William McCarty Little soon after the founding of the College—a perspective that values both experiential processes and analytical outcomes and understands that these domains are not mutually exclusive. Your Boss, Players, and Sponsor The Three Witches of War Gaming . 31 Stephen Downes-Martin The director of a war game, responsible for meeting the sponsor’s objectives, must successfully manage three particular categories of senior stakeholders or risk—as the three “weird sisters” of Shakespeare’s Macbeth threatened—“double, double toil and trouble.” Naval History The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective . 43 John B. Hattendorf The concept of a “fleet in being” has been understood in various ways and generally maligned. But two Royal Navy episodes in the age of sail that might be considered, in retrospect, as the concept’s earliest applications suggest a purpose that has more claim on modern naval strategists. Kamikazes The Soviet Legacy . 61 Maksim Y. Tokarev The asymmetric counter that the Soviet Union devised against U.S. aircraft carrier forces in the Cold War had strong parallels—both in concept and in suicidal outcome—with the Japanese kami- kaze campaign against those same forces late in the Pacific War. https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol67/iss1/20 6 2 nAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEWarW College: Winter 2014 Review “Winning” the Pacific War The Masterful Strategy of Commander Minoru Genda ����������������������������������������� 85 Angelo N.

In 2007, the College of Operational and Strategic Leadership (COSL) was established as a component of the College to sharpen the focus of its educational activities in direct support of the fleet. In our feature, after these notes, Rear Admiral James Kelly, USN (Ret.), the current dean of COSL, provides an account of what may prove to be the most important initia- tive undertaken in recent years to review, align, and strengthen the policies and processes by which the Navy develops its leaders at all levels. (Rear Admiral Ted Carter, President of the Naval War College, addresses this topic in his “President’s Forum,” below.) Further reflections on military leadership today are offered later in this issue by retired Navy captain Chris Johnson, as well as by the distinguished military historian Williamson Murray in his extended essay on Tom Ricks’s widely discussed recent book The Generals. The Naval War College’s War Gaming Department is located in McCarty Little Hall, a state-of-the-art gaming and decision-support facility on the College’s New- port campus. As Hank J. Brightman and Melissa K. Dewey remind us in “Trends in Modern War Gaming: The Art of Conversation,” Lieutenant William McCarty Little, the founder of war gaming in the U.S. Navy, was a true innovator and vi- sionary who devised an approach to war gaming that remains highly relevant to- day. Rather than seeking to use gaming tools to reduce complex interactions into artificially simplified terms, McCarty Little understood clearly that warfare is a holistic experience that is at its heart a dialogue or conversation among comrades and adversaries alike.

    Reginald James Morry's Memoirs of WWII

    THE MORRY FAMILY WEBSITE -- HTTP://WEB.NCF.CA/fr307/ World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Reginald James Morry 10/6/2007 Edited by C. J. Morry Following long standing Newfoundland maritime tradition, when hostilities broke out at the beginning of WWII, Reginald James Morry chose to serve in the “Senior Service”, the Royal Navy. This is his personal account of those momentous years, including one of the most crucial naval battles of the war, the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. © Reginald James Morry; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 2007 World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry (then Able Seaman R. Morry P/SSX 31753) Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Newfoundland’s Military Legacy Newfoundland participated in both World Wars. Even though the province is small, it produced a famous Regiment of Infantry that fought in Gallipolis and from there to France. They lost quite a few men in Turkey and were decimated twice in France, once in Beaumont Hamel and again at Arras and other areas on the Somme. Total casualties (fatal) were 1305, and at sea 179 lost their lives. Of those that returned, many died of wounds, stress, and worn out hearts. They were given the title “Royal” for their role in the defence of Masnieres (the Battle for Cambrai) by King George VI, the reigning Monarch of the time. World War II is practically dead history, especially since some anti-Royals disbanded the regiment in 2002, as it's territorial section, according to the present army regime in HQ Ottawa, did not measure up!! During WWII the British changed the regiment over to Artillery so they became known as The Royal Newfoundland Light Artillery to lessen the chances of heavy losses.

WESTWOOD nCHTING C1TTDC or WORLD World War II was the last of the great naval wars, the culmination of a century of warship development in which steam, steel and finally aviation had been adapted for naval use. The battles, both big and small, of this war are well known, and the names of some of the ships which fought them are still familiar, names like Bismarck, Warspite and Enterprise. This book presents these celebrated fighting ships, detailing both their war- time careers and their design features. In addition it describes the evolution between the wars of the various ship types : how their designers sought to make compromises to satisfy the require - ments of fighting qualities, sea -going capability, expense, and those of the different naval treaties. Thanks to the research of devoted ship enthusiasts, to the opening of government archives, and the publication of certain memoirs, it is now possible to evaluate World War II warships more perceptively and more accurately than in the first postwar decades. The reader will find, for example, how ships in wartime con- ditions did or did not justify the expecta- tions of their designers, admiralties and taxpayers (though their crews usually had a shrewd idea right from the start of the good and bad qualities of their ships). With its tables and chronology, this book also serves as both a summary of the war at sea and a record of almost all the major vessels involved in it.

Studies that have been conducted to determine how best to make this transformation have not offered a comprehensive methodology or model that has proven useful. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the practices of military leadership teams and organizational innovation in historic and highly successful military commands, specifically in the World War II Pacific theater of operations, to gain insights into how current and future leadership may influence innovation. The research examined historical documents, leader accounts, and scholarly literature on innovation. Through this case study, insights were gained into how current and future leadership may influence the transformation into innovative organizations through their practices.
  • A Most Fortunate Court Martial: the Trial of Captain Charles Kingsmill, 1907

    A Most Fortunate Court Martial: the Trial of Captain Charles Kingsmill, 1907

    A Most Fortunate Court Martial: The Trial of Captain Charles Kingsmill, 1907. Robert L. Davison En août 1906 le cuirassé britannique HMS Dominion a échoué sur un haut-de-fonds sur la côte nord de la Baie des Chaleurs. Son capitaine, Charles Edmund Kingsmill, était un Canadien qui est entré dans la marine royale en 1869, quand il avait 13 ans. Kingsmill a été traduit en cour martiale pour cet échouage au début de 1907, et a été trouvé coupable. Bien qu'il ait reçu une peine légère, ses perspectives de carrière dans le service britannique se sont trouvées limitées. Sont présentés ici les documents principaux de la cour martiale déposés aux archives nationales du Royaume-Uni. Le rédacteur argue du fait que la cour martiale était un facteur dans la décision de Kingsmill peu après d'accepter une position avec le gouvernement canadien, d'abord en tant que directeur du service de protection de la pêche, et puis, en 1910, en qualité de premier directeur du nouveau service naval du Canada. Charles Edmund Kingsmill, the first director of the Naval Service of Canada, served as an officer in the Royal Navy from the age of 13. Born in Guelph, Canada West on 7 July 1855, he was the son of John Juchereau Kingsmill, crown attorney of Wellington County and judge of Bruce County. As a young man, Charles attended Upper Canada College in Cobourg and took advantage of a colonial appointment to the cadet ship HMS Britannia in September 1869. Kingsmill gradually moved up through the ranks of the service.

Tokarev: Kamikazes: The Soviet Legacy KAZ mikA es The Soviet Legacy Maksim Y. Tokarev hroughout history, despite the influence of Alfred Thayer Mahan’s concepts, continental European and Asian navies have had a simple choice to make: Teither to create a balanced fleet to engage another balanced fleet at sea and defeat it in one or more “decisive battles” or to take an “asymmetrical approach,” creat- ing an “unbalanced” navy, able to prevent the enemy from achieving sea control and to keep one’s own vital sea lines of communication (SLOCs), if one has any, untouched by the enemy’s naval forces. In the case of Russia, the era of a blue-water, balanced navy ended with defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. Russia did not lose the capability to build capital ships, nor did the context for their employment evaporate.
