Como, aunque los horizontes están toma- dos y el cielo casi totalmente cubierto, nuestro buque insignia, la Armada, está gobernado con mano firme y previsora, la añoranza de aquel que finalizó su vida operativa se ha visto compensada por la incorporación de un nuevo buque a la Lista Oficial de Buques de la Armada, el BAM Relámpago (P-43); y la publicación, el 13 de enero, de los nombres que llevarán los cuatro submarinos de la clase S-80 que están siendo construidos en Cartagena por Navantia, cuya entrada en servicio se irá efectuando a partir del año 2015 de forma escalonada. Esto nos hace rememorar aquellos versos en los que el poeta nos decía: ... Y ahora los viejos barcos y sus hombres se han ido y han tomado la guardia nuevos barcos que llevan antiguos nombres evocadores, y ante esa mar severa e implacable que no da oportunidades sino a los que saben cómo surcarla con mano firme y valiente corazón. Efectivamente, la Armada, fiel a nuestra historia y tradición, ha recurrido a viejos nombres evocadores para la denominación de los nuevos buques. El tercer BAM será el noveno buque de la Armada que a lo largo de nuestra Historia naval lleve el nombre de Relámpago. Por su parte, los cuatro submarinos han sido denominados con tres nombres de célebres inventores españoles de submarinos: Isaac Peral, Narciso Monturiol y Cosme García, y con el del primer jefe del Arma Submarina española, Mateo García de los Reyes; nombres que ya llevaron también anteriores submarinos de la Armada, en algún caso hasta en tres ocasiones; los últimos, los Guppy de la serie 30 que fueron transferidos a España por los Estados Unidos. En este número de nuestra REVISTA se evocan tres hechos históricos que tuvieron como protagonistas hombres como a los que alude el poeta. El primero, dentro de la 2012] 235 CARTA DEL DIRECTOR cronología de la Segunda guerra Mundial, trae a nuestras páginas el Parte de Acción redactado por el vicealmirante Marc Andrew Mitscher, comandante del USS Hornet, en el que se detalla una audaz operación reseñada como la primera acción ofensiva por parte de los Estados Unidos en la guerra; documento que hoy puede ser consulta- do gracias a la Ley de Libertad de Información norteamericana. El segundo nos relata una de las operaciones de despliegue mejor preparadas y ejecutadas de la guerra Fría que, planificada por el almirante N. Chernavin, comandante en jefe de la Armada, llevaron a cabo en marzo de 1987 las fuerzas submarinas de la Unión Soviética. El tercero rememora la famosa batalla naval, frente a la isla de San Miguel en las islas Azores, en que las fuerzas españolas estuvieron al mando de don Álvaro de Bazán, Marqués de Santa Cruz, en 1582. En el artículo Mas allá de la guerra irregular, el autor nos introduce en el concep- to de «guerra híbrida», barajado y controvertido entre la comunidad de defensa inter- nacional y utilizado para definir las nuevas guerras del siglo XXI, el cual ha logrado hacerse un hueco entre la jerga especializada, porque no sólo muestra la enorme complejidad de los conflictos actuales y la cada vez más difícil delimitación de la frontera entre lo regular e irregular, sino también porque ilustra a las élites militares y políticas de los países de nuestro entorno sobre la necesidad de superar el paradigma militar de la guerra Fría. El futuro de las comunicaciones satélites en la Armada, algunas consideraciones sobre el contrato menor y el mantenimiento en la Armada y la forma en que la Escue- la Naval Militar continúa formando oficiales dotados de la capacidad de liderazgo necesaria para llevar a cabo las misiones que esta les encomiende en el futuro en el marco del nuevo modelo de carrera recién instaurado, mediante la puesta en marcha del Plan de Formación de Liderazgo, constituyen los temas profesionales de este número. El compromiso de la Armada con el fomento y la promoción de la cultura de segu- ridad y defensa, y en concreto con la Historia y Cultura naval y la protección del patrimonio, se pone una vez más de manifiesto en las páginas de nuestra REVISTA. Al igual que el arco íris es alivio de aguaceros, a principios de febrero un claro apareció en esos horizontes tomados que últimamente nos acompañan. En esta ocasión su repercusión va más allá del ámbito específico de la Armada, ya que afecta al patrimonio histórico de España. Tras casi cinco años de difíciles búsquedas docu- mentales y de una tenaz defensa por parte de nuestro gobierno, la justicia de los Esta- dos Unidos falló a favor de España en el contencioso que se había interpuesto contra la empresa estadounidense Odyssey por la apropiación del tesoro de la fragata de la Armada española Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes, hundida en 1804. Los argumentos aportados, tras arduas investigaciones efectuadas por personal del Órgano de Historia y Cultura Naval en documentos custodiados en los archivos históricos de la Armada, han sido determinantes para el éxito de la batalla legal. Este dictamen representa un precedente importante para la defensa del rico patrimonio subacuático de España. Antonio Manuel PÉREz FERNÁNDEz 236 [Marzo PARTE DE ACCIÓN SOBRE LA INCURSIÓN DOOLITTLE DESDE EL USS HORNET Javier YUSTE gONzÁLEz Licenciado en Derecho ENTRO de la cronología de la Segunda guerra Mundial, la audaz operación del teniente coronel Doolittle es reseñada como la primera reacción ofensi- va por parte de los Estados Unidos de América en su obligada entrada por la puerta grande en una contien- da cuyas llamas consumían el mundo entero. No obstante, ciertos historiadores ponen el razona- do reparo de que la primera reacción contra el enemi- go nipón la llevaron a cabo aviadores voluntarios americanos, los cuales ya volaban mucho antes del ataque a Pearl Harbor bajo el pabellón de la China nacionalista —formados en los escuadrones AVg 1 y AVg 2 (1), denomina- dos Adams & Eves y Panda Bears—. Dicha venganza se llevó a cabo en los cielos de Asia continental el 20 de diciembre de 1941. Aquellos pilotos fueron bautizados por la prensa de su país como los Flying Tigers una vez conocida su exitosa operación de aborto de un bombardeo sobre Kunming (2). Pero no vamos a entrar en discusiones a la hora de determinar esta etapa de la guerra. Por el contrario, mi intención es volver la mirada hacia Doolittle y sus hombres, hacia sus B-25 trincados sobre la cubierta del portaaviones USS Hornet. A una misión que podía considerarse suicida, descabellada... pero que acabó siendo un revulsivo moral para la sociedad civil y militar estadouniden- se.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.

  • October 2004
    October November December 2004 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN The Battle of Leyte Gulf... Sixty years ago, naval forces of the United States and Australia dealt a deadly and final blow to the Japanese Navy at Leyte Gulf. Over a four day period ranging from 23 - 26 October 1944, and in four separate engagements, the Japanese Navy lost 26 ships and the US Navy lost 6. With this issue of The Jerseyman, we present another look back at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, record some new stories, and present a few 60 year old, but “new” photos sent in by the men that were there. Our sincere thanks to all WW2 veterans, and Battle of Leyte Gulf veterans for their contributions to this issue. History also records that the Battle of Leyte Gulf was the one time in the Pacific war that Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey, flying his flag aboard battleship USS NEW JERSEY, had a chance to take on the giant Japanese battleships IJN Musashi, and IJN Yamato. But in a controversial decision that is studied and discussed to this day, Admiral Halsey took the bait of a Japanese carrier decoy fleet, split his forces, and headed USS NEW JERSEY and the Third Fleet North. Admiral Halsey lost his chance. The greatest sea-battle victory in history fell instead to the older ships of the United States Seventh Fleet. We can only speculate on what it would have meant if Halsey’s Third Fleet had been there with the old Seventh Fleet battleships of WEST VIRGINIA, CALIFORNIA, TENNESSEE, MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA, and- MISSISSIPPI, and had added the firepower from fast battleships NEW JERSEY, IOWA, MASSACHUSETTS, SOUTH DAKOTA, WASHINGTON and ALABAMA… The flag shown is on display in the museum area of the ship.

His detailed story provides an informative look at what was required, and by the way, he was also keeping his eye on a hurricane heading toward Philadelphia... We also asked Chuck if he would write up another story about Engi- neering aboard USS New Jersey, and he was well qualified to write it. During his 20 year naval career, Chuck Hamilton graduated from the US Navy‟s Boiler- man Class A, B and C schools, plus Class B Instructor school, and he also quali- fied as Engineering OOW in-port and at sea for 600 #PSI steam plants (Essex Class Carriers), and as Engineering OOW in-port and at sea for 1200#PSI steam plants (CV-60 Super Carrier Class). In addition, Chuck is also qualified as OOD in-port and at sea in USS Saratoga CV-60. With thanks, the USS New Jersey dry dock photos shown in this issue were provided courtesy of RADM J.

  • Us Navy Service
    07- U. S. NAVY SERVICE I was in the Navy Reserve and the Utah National Guard at the same time. I had been recruited by the Navy Reserve in early 1947, I was discharged from the Navy Reserve and the Utah National Guard on 22 July 1948 when I joined the Navy and headed for Boot Camp in San Diego California. I was looking for the Military Technical Training and listened to a Navy recruiter who promises me a complete education in Electronic maintenance. He called the School, “Radio Material School” I was too trusting and enlisted. It took five months to find out that there was no “Radio Material School”. They were all lying to me. I seem to always be too trusting. I thought that this was the answer to my Education problems, I would get out of not being at the National Guard Summer encampment and I could get the Education that I wanted. I was discharged from the National Guard (removal from the State) and the Naval Reserve (joining active duty in the Navy). My Navy Basic Training was at Camp Decatur, in the U. S. Naval Training Center, San Diego. Basic training was very hard on me as I was not in the best of shape for all the physical demands. But I did make it though, completing all requirements. I was assigned to the Naval Radio Operators School which was also located at the San Diego Naval Training Center. After the first week of school, I realized that this was not the School that I was promise.
