  • John Steinberg and Ocean Acoustics
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 2 Number 1 April 2003 From Surveillance to Global Warming: John Steinberg and Ocean Acoustics Gary E. Weir U.S. Naval Historical Center I would like to offer two scenarios separated by time and place but linked by both an individual and a historically significant perspective on the expansion of human knowledge. In this initial product taken from a study in progress, I shall discuss the significance of the revolutionary work in ocean acoustics done by John Steinberg of Bell Telephone Laboratories. A physicist and acoustician, Steinberg made a second career for himself at the Institute of Marine Science at the University of Miami after his retirement from Bell in 1957. The historically significant perspective to which I refer emerged from my work on the history of the Navy’s involvement in the ocean sciences. In my book An Ocean in Common, published in 2001, I suggested that the demands of war, the availability of unprecedented talent and resources, and the relentless application cultural translation between 1940 and 1945 transformed the uncertain relationship between civilian ocean scientists and the U.S. Navy into a regular professional dialogue, a fluid partnership that served both human knowledge and the considerable discrete ambitions of both civilian science and the Navy.[1] In linking the following two episodes, I shall illustrate the dynamics of this early postwar naval-scientific dialogue, highlight John Steinberg’s unheralded discoveries, and demonstrate the ease with which scientific revelations about the world ocean passed from pure discovery, to military application, to civilian applied science, and back again.
