HOMETOWN HEROES MEMORIAL DAY TO LABOR DAY 2020 presented by THEIR FAMILIES and THE TOWN OF KILMARNOCK HELLO and WELCOME TO KILMARNOCK AND OUR HOMETOWN HEROES BANNER PROGRAM On behalf of the Kilmarnock Town Council and myself, we hope you will enjoy these tributes to the men and women who contributed so much with their service to our country. They are from our immediate area but also from across this great country of ours and now we proudly showcase them in Kilmarnock. While many have passed away, others are living here in our community. This idea came to us from Laura and Daniel Stoddard who saw this concept in Canada and thought we could and should do something similar. Laura and Daniel, we thank you. To all the families who generously brought in their pictures and stories, please accept our gratitude and that of everyone who views these banners. With warmest regards, Mayor Mae P.

INTRODUCTION In the early morning hours of December 26, 1990, the Ibn Khaldun, an "Iraqi-flagged cargo ship," plied the waters of the northern Arabian Sea in the vicinity of Masirah Island as she proceeded to Basra, Iraq after leaving the port of Aden.' Out of sight, the HMAS Sydney, the USS Olendorf and the USS Fife coordinated operations and began the interception process adopted by the Multinational Interception Force 2 (MIF). Using bridge to bridge radio, the on-scene commander issued the warning: "In accordance with its previously published notice to mariners, the United States intends to exercise its right to conduct a visit and search of your vessel under international law. Request you stop your vessel and prepare to receive my inspection team." 3 The Ibn Khaldun refused to slow. The request was repeated until 5:30 a.m.

    1 of 7 Three Ships Named USS Marblehead Since the Latter Part Of

    Three Ships named USS Marblehead The 1st Marblehead Since the latter part of the 19th century, cruisers in the United States Navy have carried the names of U.S. cities. Three ships have been named after Marblehead, MA, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy, and all three had distinguished careers. The 1st Marblehead. The first Marblehead was not a cruiser, however. She Source: Wikipedia.com was an Unadilla-class gunboat designed not for ship-to-ship warfare but for bombardment of coastal targets and blockade runners. Launched in 1861, she served the Union during the American Civil War. First assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she took part in operations along the York and Pamunkey Rivers in Virginia. On 1 MAY 1862, she shelled Confederate positions at Yorktown in support of General George McClellan's drive up the peninsula toward Richmond. In an unusual engagement, this Marblehead was docked in Pamunkey River when Confederate cavalry commander Jeb Stuart ordered an attack on the docked ship. Discovered by Union sailors and marines, who opened fire, the Confederate horse artillery under Major John Pelham unlimbered his guns and fired on Marblehead. The bluecoats were called back aboard and as the ship got under way Pelham's guns raced the ship, firing at it as long as the horse can keep up with it. The Marblehead escaped. Reassigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she commenced patrols off the southern east coast in search of Confederate vessels. With the single turreted, coastal monitor Passaic, in early-FEB 1863, she reconnoitered Georgia’s Wilmington River in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the ironclad ram CSS Atlanta.

    The Gulf War Than Had Been Deployed Since World War II, the Gulf War Involved Few Tests of the Unique Capabilities of Seapower

    GW-10 Naval and Amphibious Forces October 15, 1994 Page 860 Chapter Ten: Naval And Amphibious Forces While Seapower played a dominant role in enforcing the UN sanctions and embargo during Desert Shield, it played a largely supportive role in Desert Shield. In spite of the fact that the Coalition deployed more seapower during the Gulf War than had been deployed since World War II, the Gulf War involved few tests of the unique capabilities of seapower. In many areas, lessons are more the exception than the rule. Naval airpower played an important role in supporting the Coalition air campaign, but the unique capabilities of sea- based and amphibious air power were only exploited in missions against a weak Iraqi Navy. Sea control and the campaign against Iraqi naval forces presented only a limited challenge because the Iraqi Navy was so small, and the Coalition's amphibious capabilities were not used in combat. While the Gulf War demonstrated the importance of low cost systems like naval mines and countermine capabilities, the countermine campaign is difficult to analyze because Iraq was allowed to mine coastal waters without opposition during Desert Shield. Naval gunfire supported several Coalition land actions, but its value was never fully exploited because the Coalition had such a high degree of air supremacy, and Iraq was forced to retreat for other reasons. This makes it difficult to draw broad lessons about the role of sea power in contingencies involving major surface actions, sea-air-missile encounters, and actual amphibious landings. at the same time, naval forces did illustrate As a result, the Gulf War's lessons apply more to the details of actual operations than broad doctrinal and operational issues.
