Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster.

    THE PHILIPPINE NAVY Learning Outcomes: After the class discussion, the students are expected to: • Enumerate the mission and role of the Modern Philippine Navy • Develop an appreciation on the short history of the Philippine Navy during its infancy stage Four-fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2. Security Operations 3. Deterrence 4. National Development The Navy's Roles The modern Navy has expanded its roles beyond the initial mandate to protect the country's shores. These roles include: 1. The Navy shall defend the territory from external aggression. 2. The Navy shall continue its role of securing the Philippine maritime areas from all forms of intrusions and encroachment, piracy and drug trafficking. 3. The Navy shall assist other government agencies in protecting our marine resources and environment. 4. The Navy shall continue to assist in the conduct of rescue and relief operations not only during accidents _________________________________________1 at sea but even during natural calamities in land such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods. 5. The Navy shall continue assisting in national socio- economic development. 6. The Navy, as it acquires new and more potent assets, will be an effective instrument of government in fulfilling various security-related international commitments. History The Philippines had long been a seafaring nation. Early Filipino inhabitants came from across the seas - from Ancient China, Borneo and Malay Peninsula. For centuries, seafaring natives living along the coastal areas of the country have sailed across the uncharted waters of the surrounding seas in their frail little boats. The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East.

    Volume 37 Issue 3 NMICROSOFT News from the Pensacola Council of the US Navy League JUL/SEP 2019 OUTSTANDING COUNCIL AND MACKIE AWARD WINNER PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CAPT Dan McCort, USN (Ret) President, Pensacola Navy League Published Quarterly Greetings to all. With summer now in full swing, I hope that you are getting out to enjoy the emerald waters and snow white beaches that make Pensacola famous. The Navy League National Charter includes the following language: “The Navy League of the United States, founded in 1902 with the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, is a nonprofit civilian, edu- cational and advocacy organization that supports and recognizes America’s sea services: the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.” To that end, the second quarter of this year has been focused on our mission statement with special empha- sis on supporting and recognizing our local Sea Service and military personnel. On April 25th we hosted the Enlisted Recognition Breakfast at Seville Quarter’s Heritage Hall. That event, spearheaded by CAPT Bill Cuilik, USN (Ret) and CMDCM Mark Curley, USN (Ret) recognized a record thirty-five recipients from virtually every command in our area. The Key Note speaker was our own NAS Pensacola, CMDCM Mario Rivers USN. In his remarks CMDCM Rivers, through poignant personal stories and challenging leadership examples, exhorted all toward constant personal improvement and “dedication to the Command over self.” Also in April, the USCG Cutter DECISIVE returned from an active and successful patrol to the delight of their families and friends. Of note, many in the enthusiastic crowd on the pier were displaying “Welcome Home” banners made during a Navy League sponsored banner-making party at the Pensacola Light House.

  • Aircraft Carriers Royal Canadian Navy (Rcn)
    CANADA AVIATION MUSEUM AIRCRAFT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY (RCN) Prepared by Commander E.J. L’Heureux CD, RCN (Ret’d) Introduction Naval Aviation had its start only eight years after the Wright Brothers first flew their “Flyer” at Kill Devil Hill, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, in 1903 and less than two years after J.A.D. McCurdy made the first airplane flight at Baddeck, on Bras D’Or Lake, Nova Scotia. It was in 1911 that Eugene Ely, an exhibition pilot, flew a Curtiss off the deck of the United States Ship (USS) BIRMINGHAM at anchor in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and flew it to Norfolk. Two months later he flew from Camp Selfridge to a 120 foot wooden deck fitted on the USS PENNSYLVANIA anchored in San Francisco Bay, proving the feasibility of the aircraft carrier. It would not be many years before the fledgling country of Canada was to participate in carrier based aviation, initially through the pilots who flew with the Royal Navy (RN) and latterly through the acquisition of aircraft carriers themselves. This story is a synopsis of that participation. Aircraft Carrier Development In the formative era of aircraft carrier development navies were tied to the concept that the bigger the ship and the larger the guns the more capable the navy. The bireme and trireme, referring to the numbers and layers of oars used in Greek and Roman galleons, gave way to the wooden hulls and big guns of later ships used in the Napoleonic Wars, and the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar.

I have the pleasure to be speaking with Mr. Art Critchett, who was a Seaman Second Class aboard the destroyer, USS DEWEY at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, at which point Mr. Dewey was nineteen years of age -- Mr. Critchett, excuse me, was nineteen years of age. I guess it was Admiral Dewey, huh? Art Critchett (AC): The ship, of course, was named after Admiral Dewey. SH: Right. Well, thanks for being here with us. AC: Well, you're welcome. SH: It's been a joy -- it's been enjoyable talking with you just before the interview, and I'd like to pick up, you know, pretty much where we left off. You were saying that you joined the . AC: Well, I joined the Navy June 7, 1941 . SH: Yeah. AC: . and went to, of course, boot camp and basic training. And then, in August of '41, I was assigned to come out to Pearl Harbor to be assigned to a ship, and when I got out here, I went aboard the USS DOBBIN. No, not the DOBBIN, I'm sorry, the DIXIE. And there, I was assigned to the DEWEY. And as soon as the DEWEY -- it had been out -- and as soon it came in, then I went aboard the DEWEY and as soon as I got aboard, I assumed the duties of the deck force.
