“We will always remember. We will always be proud. July We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.” August President Ronald Reagan September June 6, 1984 - Normandy, France 2004 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN Long Beach, California...December 28, 1982 President Ronald Reagan at the 4th Recommissioning of USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) “...Well, the New Jersey today becomes our 514th ship and represents our determination to rebuild the strength of America's right arm so that we can preserve the peace. After valiant service in Vietnam and after saving the lives of countless Ma- rines, the New Jersey was decommissioned in 1969. During that solemn ceremony, her last commanding officer, Captain Robert Peniston, spoke prophetically when he suggested that this mighty ship, “Rest well, yet sleep lightly; and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide fire power for freedom.” Well, the call has been sounded. America needs the bat- tleship once again to provide firepower for the defense of freedom and, above all, to maintain the peace. She will truly fulfill her mission if her firepower never has to be used. Captain Fogarty, I hereby place the United States Ship New Jersey in commission. God bless, and Godspeed.” In Memory of President Ronald Wilson Reagan Commander In Chief THE JERSEYMAN n May 29, 2004, formal dedication of the WW2 National Memorial took place in Washington, DC. The event was simulcast to the Battleship New Jersey Memorial and Mu- seum, with an audience estimated at well over 1,100 WW2 Veterans and their guests, plus 800 guests that were general public attendees. -
A Ship Named Turner
I A SHIP NAMED TURNER • A biography of the life of one ship of the U.S.Navy during one brief period of World War II. Some is from memory, much is derived from pages of the complete Deck Log of Turner 648 I obtained from the Naval Archives. One part is from an average of three sources of information. Mainly, it tells the story of the ship as I saw it, a member of the crew for fifteen days prior to commissioning, and during the two hundred and sixty-four days of its life. David L. Merrill May 2000 A SHIP NAMED TURNER This is the story of one ship which existed as part of the United States Navy for eight months and eighteen days. It was an insignificant ship, as ships went in the war years of 1941-1945, but it was a ship, a commissioned ship assigned to a specific duty. It performed this duty well, with diligence but without special accommodation or reward. It was fitted with a crew which, at time of commissioning, consisted of seventy-five percent of the enlisted men serving on their first ship. It had fourteen officers, eight of whom were doing their first tour at sea. Yet, it was a splendid ship as far as "togetherness" went. Loyalty could not have been better, ambition to do the right thing at the right time could not have been better, thoughtfulness for one another was outstanding. Yes, this is the story of one insignificant ship that plowed back and forth between the ports of monotony and tedium performing a task needing to be performed but which offered no reward for services well done. -
From the Nisshin to the Musashi the Military Career of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku by Tal Tovy
Asia: Biographies and Personal Stories, Part II From the Nisshin to the Musashi The Military Career of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku By Tal Tovy Detail from Shugaku Homma’s painting of Yamamoto, 1943. Source: Wikipedia at http://tinyurl.com/nowc5hg. n the morning of December 7, 1941, Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) aircraft set out on one of the most famous operations in military Ohistory: a surprise air attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawai`i. The attack was devised and fashioned by Admiral Yamamoto, whose entire military career seems to have been leading to this very moment. Yamamoto was a naval officer who appreciated and under- stood the strategic and technological advantages of naval aviation. This essay will explore Yamamoto’s military career in the context of Imperial Japan’s aggressive expansion into Asia beginning in the 1890s and abruptly ending with Japan’s formal surrender on September 2, 1945, to the US and its Allies. Portrait of Yamamoto just prior to the Russo- Japanese War, 1905. Early Career (1904–1922) Source: World War II Database Yamamoto Isoroku was born in 1884 to a samurai family. Early in life, the boy, thanks to at http://tinyurl.com/q2au6z5. missionaries, was exposed to American and Western culture. In 1901, he passed the Impe- rial Naval Academy entrance exams with the objective of becoming a naval officer. Yamamoto genuinely respected the West—an attitude not shared by his academy peers. The IJN was significantly influenced by the British Royal Navy (RN), but for utilitarian reasons: mastery of technology, strategy, and tactics. -
First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor
First Hand Accounts of December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor William Brown East Carolina University Faculty Mentor: Wade Dudley East Carolina University ABSTRACT This project involves researching and writing a narrative combining the first-hand accounts of sail- ors in the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The goal of the project is to gather the personal accounts provided in oral histories and to synthesize those into a narrative describing the emotions of that morning. This has been accomplished by examining the oral histories provided by five men who graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1941 and survived the Japanese attack. A sixth account is provided by Lt. Alexander B. Coxe, Jr., who was the executive officer aboard the U.S.S Breese. Each individual perspective provides a different angle to the horror that surrounded Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The research highlights the raw emotions as the Japanese planes flew above and the destruction and death surrounding these men. n the morning of December 7, by documenting their memory of the at- O 1941, the naval and aerial forces of tack. Each of these men graduated from the Japanese Empire secretly attacked the the United States Naval Academy in 1941 United States Navy at the naval base of with the newly bestowed rank of Ensign, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

At Dawn on a Chill and Misty Morning in May, a Navy Battleship, The
At dawn on a chill and misty morning in May, a Navy battleship, the U.S.S. Montana approached New York harbor steaming first past the Ambrose Light Ship and then the Statue of Liberty. Slowing as she sailed deeper into the harbor, the Montana stopped and loosed her anchor mid-stream in the Hudson River opposite the lower tip of Manhattan Island, a park called "The Battery." On her deck lay 17 coffins, each neatly draped with the national ensign. As a silent crowd watched, a tug slipped its moorings, moved to the anchored warship, and lay alongside. Crewmen carefully and tenderly trans ferred the coffins to her decks. The tug returned to the park and the coffins were placed on waiting caissons. Soon a solemn funeral procession began, and in it rode the President of the United States. He was somber, grim-visaged, and seemed to be almost in a state of shock. As the procession rolled on he stared straight ahead, as a man alone, which, saddened, at this turn of events resulting from one of his recent decisions, he was. The year was 1914, the President Woodrow Wilson, and the funeral that for the 17 Marines who died as they stormed ashore at Vera Cruz, Mexico, to avenge an insult to the American flag, and in the doing, give some teeth to Wilson’s displeasure at the undemocratic regime of General Victoriano Huerta ruling the turbulent nation. The Mexicans had resisted fiercely, and while losing Vera Cruz to the combined Marine assault and naval gunfire, had killed the 17 Americans. -
Appendix As Too Inclusive
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph. -
