Erickson, Abraham M. Denmark, and Gabriel Collins Once China gains experience with its first aircraft carrier, the most important question will concern not the number and capabilities of Chinese carriers but how they will be employed. Beijing could use them to inaugurate a new era of cooperation—or to challenge the fundamental openness and stability of the international system. The Republic of Korea’s Counter-asymmetric Strategy Lessons from ROKS Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island . 55 Captain Duk-Ki Kim, Republic of Korea Navy The sinking of ROKS Cheonan and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island must mark a turning point in the defense of the Republic of Korea. The incidents show that the North is turning to asymmetric means to exploit weakness; the South requires counter-asymmetric strategies to deter and defeat them. Seeking Balance Force Projection, Confidence Building, and the Republic of Singapore Navy . 75 Swee Lean Collin Koh In a few decades the reach of the Republic of Singapore Navy has grown from nearby waters to the entire critical Strait of Malacca zone, with visits and operations far beyond. How has it developed, and what are its purposes? Operational Art The Port Moresby–Solomons Operation and the Allied Reaction, 27 April–11 May 1942 . 93 Milan Vego The May 1942 carrier battle in the Coral Sea is famous, but the major Japanese operation that brought it about is less familiar. Recently translated Japanese archival sources help put the engagement in its proper context and highlight the lessons it offers for the operational level of war.

During this period, the armaments industry underwent a radical transformation, moving from being based on public-owned arsenals and yards to being based on private firms – the system of military procurement prevalent today.

SHIP BUILDING AND REPAIRING IN ITALY, 1861-1913: NATIONAL AND REGIONAL TIME SERIES Abstract This paper presents the first comprehensive national and regional time-series estimates for ship building and repairing in post-Unification Italy. The path of the national aggregate differs markedly from the extant series, which cover merchant new-construction alone. The regional estimates point to considerable concentration: Liguria accounted for more than half the product, and Campania for almost another quarter. In Liguria, too, this sector represented up to a quarter of total industrial production; elsewhere, and nationally, it was barely significant.

  • 2017 Progress Report
    Department of Defense Response to Executive Order 13287, “Preserve America,” Section 3: Reporting Progress on the Identification, Protection, and Use of Federal Historic Properties Includes Information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force fiscal years 2014-2016 October 2017 Defense Section 3 Report 2 Introduction This report satisfies the requirements of Section 3(c) of Executive Order (EO) 13287, “Preserve America,”1 for the Department of Defense (DoD). The Preserve America EO directs each Federal agency with real property management responsibilities to submit reports on its “progress in identifying, protecting, and using historic properties in its ownership.” The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) developed questions to assist Federal agencies in meeting the reporting requirements of the Preserve America EO. DoD’s consolidated answers to those questions posed by the ACHP includes information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force for fiscal years (FYs) 2014-2016.2 This report references policy and guidance documents from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Military Departments. These documents provide the framework necessary to balance and integrate proactive management of cultural resources with all aspects of the military mission. This report also provides summary data on the DoD Cultural Resources Program. The DoD is a large and complex Federal agency with the critical mission to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States.3 The DoD’s installations and facilities are critical pieces of this national defense mission. The DoD manages the largest portfolio of real property assets (structures and buildings), which includes historic properties, in the Federal government.

  • A GOULD ISLAND CHRONOLOGY and Some Associated Historical Notes by Captain Frank Snyder (USN Ret)
    Occasional Paper # 3 A GOULD ISLAND CHRONOLOGY And Some Associated Historical Notes By Captain Frank Snyder (USN Ret) Gould Island, the small oblong island that lies off our eastern shore between Jamestown’s North End and Middletown, is an unexplored and, because of its dedicated uses, essentially unexplorable part of Jamestown. On August 9, 2003, during our Sunset History Cruise, Captain Frank Snyder, a retired Captain in the United States Navy and formerly a professor at the Naval War College, told us about the history of Gould Island, especially its use by the Navy. He provided the society with a detailed chronology of the island’s history. The following pages are excerpted from his talk and accompanying notes.
