  • INDIANA MAGAZINE of HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2 Hoosier Senior Naval Officers in World War I1 John B. Heffermn* Indiana furnished an exceptional number of senior of- ficers to the United States Navy in World War 11, and her sons were in the very forefront of the nation’s battles, as casualty lists and other records testify. The official sum- mary of casualties of World War I1 for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, covering officers and men, shows for Indiana 1,467 killed or died of wounds resulting from combat, 32 others died in prison camps, 2,050 wounded, and 94 released prisoners of war. There were in the Navy from Indiana 9,412 officers (of this number, probably about 6 per- cent or 555 were officers of the Regular Navy, about 10 per- cent or 894 were temporary officers promoted from enlisted grades of the Regular Navy, and about 85 percent or 7,963 were Reserve officers) and 93,219 enlisted men, or a total of 102,631. In the Marine Corps a total of 15,360 officers and men were from Indiana, while the Coast Guard had 229 offic- ers and 3,556 enlisted men, for a total of 3,785 Hoosiers. Thus, the overall Indiana total for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard was 121,776. By way of comparison, there were about 258,870 Hoosiers in the Army.l There is nothing remarkable about the totals and Indiana’s representation in the Navy was not exceptional in quantity; but it was extraordinary in quality.

In “Lifting the Fog of Targeting: ‘Autonomous Weapons’ and Human Control through the Lens of Military Targeting,” Merel A. C. Ekelhof addresses the current context of increas- ingly autonomous weapons, making the case that military targeting practices should be the core of any analysis that seeks a better understanding of the concept of meaningful human control.

  • Unmanned Surface
    lcdr Rafał MIĘTKIEWICZ PhD Polish Naval Academy POSSIBLE APPLICATTIONS OF USVs IN POLISH NAVY Key words: unmanned surface vehicles, Polish Navy modernization, maritime security applications, maritime critical infrastructure protection, maritime security, unmanned platforms, unmanned maritime vehicles, Abstract: Polish Navy modernization process is underway. Year 2015 was vital because of two historical events. Newly build corvette (Gawron Class) and minehunter (Kormoran II Class) were launched in Polish shipyards. Naval modernization program consist of many aspects and is implemented in Polish industry. Simultaneously, couple of programs focused on unmanned vehicles are on track (aerial, surface and underwater). One of them is Buried Mines (BURMIN) program as a part of European Unmanned Systems for Mine Counter Measures and other naval applications (UMS) organized by European Defense Agency (EDA), together with sufficient players of the branch like Thales (leader), Atlas, RMA, TNO. WTD-71, Atlas Elektronik, Fraunhofer, IPHT, CTM (Poland). Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) become increasingly popular in military and maritime security applications. With growing role of shallow and confined waters in maritime tactics some specific threats start play significant role (asymmetric threats, sea mine, submarines). Polish Navy is engaged in Multinational Capability Development Campaign (MCDC) project dedicated to Joint and Combined Operations in and from Confined Waters. Ideas proposed in the paper represent the author’s personal point of view. Introduction Project of minehunter construction Kormoran II assumes the purchase of three units build in Gdansk. With a magnetic steel hull construction the new MCM vessel will be equipped with, wide variety of high specialized outfit contain inter alia, AUV - Hugin 1000, Self-Propelled Variable Depth Sonar (SPVDS) - Double Eagle Mk III, ROV - Morswin, one shot disposal system – Głuptak, Side Scan Sonar – Klein together with Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV).

Kollektive Sicherheit statt Kräftegleichgewicht. Präsident Wilson und die amerikanischen Friedensziele in der Phase der Neutralität Die Vereinigten Staaten traten am 6. April 1917 unter Präsident Thomas Woodrow Wilson in den Ersten Weltkrieg ein. Wilson, bis 1910 Professor und Präsident der Princeton-Universität, danach Gouverneur im Staat New Jersey, war 1912 als demokra- tischer Kandidat zum US-Präsidenten gewählt worden.1 Rhetorisch hochbegabt, legte er während des Krieges mit Idealismus und Sendungsbewußtsein die Grundlagen für eine führende Rolle der USA in der Weltpolitik, schuf die politische und ideologische Vor- aussetzung für das "amerikanische Jahrhundert".2 In seinen Reden der Jahre 1916 und 1917 und in den sogenannten Fourteen Points, Four Principles und Five Particulars des Jahres 1918 entwarf Wilson sein Friedensziel einer freiheitlichen Friedensordnung glo- baler Reichweite. Wilsons Friedensplan bildete formal und inhaltlich die Grundlage und den Maßstab für die Anrufung der USA durch die deutsche Regierung am 3. Oktober 1918, mit Abstri- chen auch für die Friedensziele der Ententemächte sowie schließlich für die letzte Note der US-Regierung an Deutschland vom 5. November 1918.

(René) Tas 8 COE CSW at a glance 10 Milestones 12 Directors of the COE CSW 15 International Partners of the COE CSW 16 Rear Admiral Christian Bock Director Centre of Excellence for Operations in Confi ned and Shallow Waters Distinguished guests, Welcome to the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Center of Excellence for Operations in Confi ned and Shallow Waters (COE CSW). For me it is a huge honour and a great pleasure to welcome such a distinguished group of guests in the State Parliament of Schleswig-Holstein to commemorate this very important milestone for our think-tank here in Kiel. Looking back, for what reason was the COE CSW incorporated here in Germany and why particularly in Kiel? Well, for decades the German Navy and especially the Flotilla 1 in Kiel has accumulated a high and specifi c maritime warfare competence by operating in coastal waters, especially in the Baltic and the North Sea. With the aim to make these tactical and operational skills available to NATO allies, and to ensure state-of-the-art operational concepts, the COE CSW was established in 2006 with the formal inauguration in 2007. In October 2008, Greece, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Germany signed a “Memorandum of Understanding”, which defi ned the function, organisation, staffi ng and funding.

  • Znalazło Szerokie Zastosowanie Na Okrętach Wojennych, Z Jednym Wyjątkiem: Bulwiastym Dzio- Bem
    SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF POLISH NAVAL ACADEMY ZESZYTY NAUKOWE AKADEMII MARYNARKI WOJENNEJ 2018 (LIX) 3 (214) DOI: 10.2478/sjpna-2018-0016 AN UNDERWATER SPOILER ON A WARSHIP: WHY, WHEN AND HOW? Bruno Bouckaert Hull Vane B.V., Nude 46, 6702 DM, Wageningen, The Netherlands; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT There are a lot of energy saving devices for ships on the market, but few have seen wide adop- tion on naval ships, with one exception: the bulbous bow. The bulbous bow was developed for naval ships in the early 20th century and is now widespread on a variety of ship designs. Many have wondered if the effect of the bulbous bow — reducing the resistance of a ship by reducing the bow wave — could be replicated somehow at the stern — by reducing the stern wave. This is exactly what is done by a novel and patented energy saving device called Hull Vane ®. Invented by Dutch hydrodynamicist Dr Peter van Oossanen for an America’s Cup sailing yacht in the early 21st century, research over the years has shown that this wing-shaped appendage works best on ships that combine a relatively high displacement with a relatively high top speed requirement — even if most sailing hours are done at half speed. Examples are certain offshore vessels, superyachts, patrol vessels and naval ships. On offshore patrol vessels, the re- sistance reduction from the Hull Vane® ranges typically from 10 to 20% over the entire useful speed range. In this paper, the working principles of the Hull Vane® will be described to give a better under- standing of the device.

  • Conference Program
    U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference Leader Development: The Cycle of Success January 30-February 2, 2011 Annapolis, Maryland 2 Welcome The United States Naval Academy, the Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law, along with the Hart Foundation and the USNA Class of ’38, are proud to sponsor the 2011 Leadership Conference at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland January 30-February 2, 2011. Mission Statement The U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference's mission is to bring together the best minds in the practice and study of leadership to exchange ideas, experiences, and methodologies with both military and civilian undergraduate students of leadership. Background Since 1984, the Naval Academy has hosted an annual leadership conference for senior cadets and midshipmen from each of the service academies. In 2002, the confer- ence expanded to include students from civilian universities and broadened its scope to include leadership topics relevant to government, business, and academia, as well as the military. Made possible through the generous support of the Class of ’38 and Mitch and Linda Hart, the USNA Leadership Conference now includes more than 200 participants from over 40 military and civilian colleges. In 2006, the Leadership Conference incorpo- rated a student generated and professionally published conference report that addressed key issues related to the conference theme. In recent years, the Leadership Conference has varied presentation formats and increased the amount of small group interaction and discussion in order to foster learning experiences among attendees. Theme for 2011 “Leader Development: The Cycle of Success” The success of any organization depends on a host of complex and dynamic factors, yet leader development, often overlooked or disregarded, plays a critical role.

Adams James Olson Head of Department, Walter Buenger August 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT United States Navy Fleet Problems and the Development of Carrier Aviation, 1929-1933. (August 2005) Ryan David Wadle, B. A., Iowa State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James Bradford The U.S. Navy first took official notice of aviation in 1910, but its development of carrier aviation lagged behind Great Britain’s until the 1920s. The first American aircraft carrier, the Langley, commissioned in 1919, provided the Navy with a valuable platform to explore the potential uses of carrier aviation, but was usually limited to scouting and fleet air defense in the U.S. Navy’s annual interwar exercises called fleet problems. This began to change in 1929 with the introduction of the carriers Lexington and Saratoga in Fleet Problem IX.

  • Visionary Leadership Navigating Through Uncharted Waters
    U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference Visionary Leadership Navigating Through Uncharted Waters January 29-February 1, 2012 Annapolis, Maryland This Year's Conference is Dedicated to the Memory of Rear Admiral Maurice H. Rindskopf, USN (Ret.) “Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.” By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ear Admiral Maurice H. Rindskopf, USN (Ret.), was born on 27 September 1917 in Brooklyn, RNY. At the age of 16, he graduated from Poly Prep Country Day School, immediately traveling to Annapolis for induction into the Naval Academy Class of 1938. As a midshipman, Admiral Rindskopf demonstrated leadership in the classroom and on the athletic fields, graduating in the top 7% of his class and competing on the 1938 National Championship lacrosse team. After graduation from the Naval Academy, Admiral Rindskopf was assigned to serve two years aboard USS COLORADO (BB-45). He then attended Submarine School in New London, CT, where he met and married his wife, Sylvia Lubow. Graduating near the top of his class, he served in R-4 (SS-81), before being ordered to commission USS DRUM (SS-228) in Portsmouth, NH, a month before the declaration of World War II. He served on the DRUM for three years, complet- ing nine war patrols as torpedo, gunnery and then executive officer, and two patrols as commanding officer, the youngest to command a Fleet submarine (age 26).
