  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • "Stars and Garters of an Admiral"1 American Commodores in the War of 1812
    "Stars and Garters of an Admiral"1 American Commodores in the War of 1812 Robert Malcomson Au cours de la Guerre de 1812, la marine américaine était encore dans son stage de développement, au point de vue de ses politiques et traditions. Un signe évident de cette évolution était I'utilisation générate du terme « commodore » qui n 'était pas un rang officiel a l'époque. Le présent article est une enquete préliminaire qui nous explique comment les représentants officiels du Département du Service naval ainsi que les officiers de la marine utilisaient le terme « commodore » lors de leurs communications officielles et nous démontre aussi que pendant la guerre, seulement quatre officiers supérieurs reçurent de facon constante et fréquente ce rang honorifique. L 'utilisation moins courante de ce terme est aussi analysée et avec preuves a I'appui, cet article illustre bien la discordance qui régnait au sein des officiers. One of the current trends in naval history literature is the attention being given to accuracy. Many, if not most, writers are striving to cast out the old misconceptions and get the story straight. They have dealt recently with topics as broad as the British blockade of the American seaboard during the War of 1812 or as specific as sailing to windward.2 This article falls somewhere in between. Common knowledge has it that an officer of any grade in the US Navy who acted as commander of more than one vessel on any station was considered a "commodore" during the war of 1812.3 At the time, however, there was no official paid rank of commodore in the US Navy and would not be until 1862.

  • The United States Navy
    THE UNITED STATES NAVY M A R C H 5, 1 8 2 5 The United States Navy in 1825 was a very small institution. More than a decade has passed since the war with Great Britain (1812). Since that time the Navy had been downsized to only twelve notable warships in commission. These and a few smaller vessels did not operate as a fleet. They were assigned to their stations or squadrons where they had to protect American interests. Initially it was the Navy`s policy to send out a one or more ships to handle a situation. But communication was slow at these times. So step by step the Navy established permanent squadrons to be stationed in specific areas. Over the years there would be seven squadrons: Mediterranean Squadron established 1815 Pacific Squadron established 1818 West India Squadron established 1822 Brazil Squadron established 1826 East India Squadron established 1835 Home Squadron established 1842 African Squadron established 1843 Only the Mediterranean Squadron, the Pacific Squadron, and the West India Squadron had been formed up as permanent squadrons by 1825. This site shows the organization of the U.S. Navy when the system of permanent squadrons was only a few years old.
