The scene is evocative of one of the many levels at which the “thousand-ship navy,” examined in detail in this issue by Ronald E. Ratcliff and Derek S. Reveron, would operate—and in a real sense al- ready does.

Quester Preemption and preventive war have a mixed history in terms of moral acceptance. The strongest condemnation dates from 1918, not 1945. Nonetheless, the world’s experiences before 1914 and since 1938 suggest that it may have to live with, and make the best of, such options. Maritime Strategy New Directions in Maritime Strategy? Implications for the U.S. Navy. 29 Geoffrey Till The defense of the system requires a range of naval tasks that covers much of the spectrum of conflict, a range that seems to be getting ever wider. The resultant strategies are a blend of cooperative and competitive approaches in policy, since the two are no more mutually exclusive in maritime-strategy making than they are in international political life. Building Partners’ Capacity The Thousand-Ship Navy . 45 Ronald E. Ratcliff Nearly two years after a bold proposal of a “thousand-ship navy,” little progress seems to have been made in constituting it. Part of the reason is that the U.S. Navy does not seem to appreciate how the idea looks to many nations whose navies might participate. Globalization of Navy Shipbuilding A Key to Affordability for a New Maritime Strategy. 59 Robert J. White Can the U.S. Navy realistically build the ships it expects to need with the money it expects to receive? Not if the new ships will cost what they do now—but there is a better way. Moderator’s Report Legal Experts’ Workshop on the Future Global Legal Order . 73 Craig H. Allen A group of international legal experts gathered at the Naval War College in late 2006 to consider the probable shape of the global legal order in 2020—the environment in which the maritime strategy the U.S. Navy is now formulating would operate.

  • 1 Overview of USS Constitution Re-Builds & Restorations USS
    Overview of USS Constitution Re-builds & Restorations USS Constitution has undergone numerous “re-builds”, “re-fits”, “over hauls”, or “restorations” throughout her more than 218-year career. As early as 1801, she received repairs after her first sortie to the Caribbean during the Quasi-War with France. In 1803, six years after her launch, she was hove-down in Boston at May’s Wharf to have her underwater copper sheathing replaced prior to sailing to the Mediterranean as Commodore Edward Preble’s flagship in the Barbary War. In 1819, Isaac Hull, who had served aboard USS Constitution as a young lieutenant during the Quasi-War and then as her first War of 1812 captain, wrote to Stephen Decatur: “…[Constitution had received] a thorough repair…about eight years after she was built – every beam in her was new, and all the ceilings under the orlops were found rotten, and her plank outside from the water’s edge to the Gunwale were taken off and new put on.”1 Storms, battle, and accidents all contributed to the general deterioration of the ship, alongside the natural decay of her wooden structure, hemp rigging, and flax sails. The damage that she received after her War of 1812 battles with HMS Guerriere and HMS Java, to her masts and yards, rigging and sails, and her hull was repaired in the Charlestown Navy Yard. Details of the repair work can be found in RG 217, “4th Auditor’s Settled Accounts, National Archives”. Constitution’s overhaul of 1820-1821, just prior to her return to the Mediterranean, saw the Charlestown Navy Yard carpenters digging shot out of her hull, remnants left over from her dramatic 1815 battle against HMS Cyane and HMS Levant.
