In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326).

The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

  • The Erie-Class Gunboats Were Prewar Guardships for the Vital Panama Canal Area
    Sea Classics July 1995 Volume 28, Number 7 Copyright © 1995 by Challenge Publications, Inc. Pages 20-24, 26-27 and 59-60. Designed to expand the traditional role of gunboats, the hybrid Erie-class ships became the basis of the highly successful prewar Treasury-class Coast Guard cutters BY ROD REDMAN "They were ships unique unto themselves; too large for the usually defined tasks of a gunboat and too lightly armed to be effective warships. Intended for the tropics, they better resembled a millionaire's yacht; the choicest duty for peacetime black shoe sailors. They were built to display the American flag in Central America; to be naval diplomats," recalls AI Deeming of his time spent aboard the gunboat USS ERIE (PG-50) in the warm spring of 1940. Gunboats indeed held a unique status in the US Navy. By international definition they were small heavily armed ships used for coastal or riverine patrol conducted in the policing of colonial waters. Most were slow, shallow-draft steam-powered vessels rated well under a thousand-ton displacement. A gunboat's primary mission was to keep order in distant domains that were under the protection of a major power; to provide security for nationals ashore; to quell uprisings by insurgents or bandits; and to maintain an obvious high visibility national presence in territorial waters. Designed to operate alone and far from the shores of the nation they represented, the traditional gunboat was unsuited for fleet operations. One or two medium caliber rapid-fire deck guns was its principal authority_ These were augmented with a few machine guns and a detachment of armed sailors or marines who could quickly storm ashore to put down any signs of trouble or rebellion within the native populace.
