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.

  • Sexual Maturation and Reproductive Cycle of Eledone Massyae, Voss 1964 (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae) in Southern Brazil
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 49(1-2): 270-279, 1991 SEXUAL MATURATION AND REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF ELEDONE MASSYAE, VOSS 1964 (CEPHALOPODA: OCTOPODIDAE) IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL Jose Angel Alvarez Perez and Manuel Haimovici ABSTRACT E/edone massyae is a small benthic octopus found along Argentina and Southern Brazil. Maturation and reproductive cycle were studied based on 226 females and III males that were caught at different times of the year with trawl nets on the shelf and upper slope off Rio Grande do Sui, between 3D· and 34OS. Females started to mature in the spring and attained advanced stages in the summer at a wide range of sizes. Neither fully mature nor spent females were found. Spawning is likely to take place during late summer on rough bottoms, at some distance from the trawling areas. Spermatangia were found within the ovary of maturing females mainly in spring. Fecundity ranged from 27 to 126, with a mean of 79, and was not influenced by female body size. Male maturation started in autumn at smaller body sizes than in females. Spermatophores were found in the spermatophoric sac from the end of autumn onwards, and the most advanced gonadal stages occurred in January. Mating seems to occur principally in spring. Eledone massyae is a small octopod with a known distribution ranging from southern Argentina to Rio de Janeiro (Voss, 1964). The species was first recorded in Brazilian waters by Massy (1916) as Moschites brevis Massy, 1916, then re- described as Eledone massyae by Voss (1964). In southern Brazil, this species was caught in bottom trawls on the continental shelf and upper slope between 40 and 350 m {Haimovici and Andriguetto, 1986; Perez and Haimovici, MS)I, frequently together with a congeneric species Eledone gaucha Haimovici, 1988.

  • <I>Lolliguncula Brevis</I>
    OCCURRENCE OF THE SQUID, LOLLIGUNCULA BREVIS, IN SOME COASTAL WATERS OF WESTERN FLORIDN ALEXANDER DRAGOVICH Tropical Atlantic Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, lVfiami AND JOHN A. KELLY, JR. Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, St. Petersburg Beach, Florida ABSTRACT Lolliguncula brevis (Blainville) is the dominant cephalopod in the Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor-Pine Island Sound areas of west Florida. Distribution and seasonal occurrence of the species are discussed. The temperature and salinity ranges at which squid occurred were 12.6 to 31.6°C and 18.19 to 36.15%c. The majority of the squid collected were immature. This note presents information on the occurrence and distribution of squid in bays of the central west coast of Florida and adjacent neritic waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Published material pertaining to the systemat- ics and geographical distribution of cephalopods in the Gulf of Mexico is limited to the work of Voss (1950, 1954, 1955, 1956a, 1956b). Little is known about the distribution of squid in Florida estuaries and adjoining marine waters (Tabb & Manning, 1961; Dragovich & Kelly, 1963). In Florida, squid is used extensively as bait by commercial and sport fisher- men (Dragovich & Kelly, 1963), and small amounts are consumed by humans. Samples were collected from September, 1962, through December, 1962, with a ten-foot, shrimp try-net, and from January, 1963, through Decem- ber, 1964, with a 16-foot, semi-balloon trawl. Both nets had one-inch, stretch mesh. Most of the stations in Tampa Bay and the adjacent oceanic waters were sampled semimonthly during 1962, monthly during 1963, and in alternate months during 1964.

  • Sex- and Maturity-Based Differences in Movement and Migration Patterns of Grey Nurse Shark, Carcharias Taurus, Along the Eastern Coast of Australia
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Marine and Freshwater Research, 2011, 62, 596–606 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/mfr Sex- and maturity-based differences in movement and migration patterns of grey nurse shark, Carcharias taurus, along the eastern coast of Australia C. S. Bansemer A,B and M. B. Bennett A ASchool of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Qld 4072, Australia. BCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Photo-identification techniques were used to investigate temporal and spatial distributions of Carcharias taurus (Rafinesque, 1810) in relation to maturity, sex and pregnancy status at 19 sites along Australia’s eastern coastline. Of 931 individual sharks identified between 2004 and 2008, 479 were female (271 mature, 208 immature) and 452 male (288 mature, 164 immature). Mature, non-gravid females and mature males were mostly observed in the southern to central parts of this species range, along the eastern coast of Australia, in early summer to early winter. These sharks subsequently moved northward, and mating occurred in late spring to early summer in waters off the coast of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Pregnant C. taurus aggregated at Wolf Rock in southern Queensland, at the most northerly part of their known range, from late summer to early winter. These sharks subsequently migrated south to pup in central and southern waters of their range in late winter to late spring. Immature sharks of both sexes moved less than mature sharks, showed no synchronised migration patterns, and were mostly restricted to central and southern waters. The improved understanding of sex- and maturity-based migration of C.

YOUNG SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 209 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.
