Message From the Chairman Last month, you received the Foundation’s year-end appeal from our president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell. If you sent your donations earlier this year, or in response to this appeal, thank you! For those of you contemplating a gift, I hope you’ll refl ect on our successes in “preserving and honoring the legacy of those who came before us; educating and inspiring the generations who will follow.” We’ve got much left to do, and your support makes all the difference. This is a great time to make that tax-deductible donation or IRA distribution direct to NHF! The year-end appeal featured a 1948 letter from then-NHF Vice President Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz to then-NHF President Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King referring to the budget and political woes encountered 65 years ago in the nation’s capital: “I, for one, am glad to be away from that trouble spot….” Yet despite the challenges King faced, including a series of debilitating strokes, he remained strongly committed to growing the NHF and educating the American public about this nation’s great naval heritage.

Watts Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments March 2007 ABOUT THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND BUDGETARY ASSESSMENTS The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent, nonprofit, public policy research institute established to make clear the inextricable link between near-term and long- range military planning and defense investment strategies. CSBA is directed by Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich and funded by foundations, corporations, government, and individual grants and contributions. This report is one in a series of CSBA analyses on the emerging military revolution. Previous reports in this series include The Military-Technical Revolution: A Preliminary Assessment (2002), Meeting the Anti-Access and Area-Denial Challenge (2003), and The Revolution in War (2004). The first of these, on the military-technical revolution, reproduces the 1992 Pentagon assessment that precipitated the 1990s debate in the United States and abroad over revolutions in military affairs. Many friends and professional colleagues, both within CSBA and outside the Center, have contributed to this report. Those who made the most substantial improvements to the final manuscript are acknowledged below. However, the analysis and findings are solely the responsibility of the author and CSBA. 1667 K Street, NW, Suite 900 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 331-7990 CONTENTS ACKNOWLEGEMENTS .................................................. v SUMMARY ............................................................... ix GLOSSARY ………………………………………………………xix I.

  • Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements
    Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements omen have profoundly impacted our Navy for more than a century, since being Wallowed to join in 1917. To honor those pioneers who have led the way, along with the more than 60,000 women who serve today, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday and Mrs. Linda Gilday, in coordination with Navy History and Heritage Command, created a display in CNO’s residence, Tingey House, as well as this e-book, which is organized into the following groupings: WWII era and prior; a selection of women ‘firsts’ in the Navy; and some photos of today’s Sailors. Where additional information is available, the photos are hyperlinked to articles, videos, and oral histories (click the photo to access the files). While we know this is a small representation of the women who serve today and the millions who have served, it is our hope it sparks conversation that honors women who wear the cloth of this nation. As a Navy, we celebrate the many accomplishments that women have achieved through hard work, grit and determination. Chief Yeoman (F) Loretta Perfectus Walsh After enlisting on March 17, 1917, Chief Walsh became not only the woman to serve in the Navy and its first female Chief Petty Officer, but also the first woman to serve in a non-nursing capacity in any branch of the armed forces.
