    United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922

    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. 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. All errors and omissions are solely those of the author.

These displays are a testament to honor, courage, dedication, and personal sacrifice. By examining the Hall of Honor exhibit cases and wall displays on the 1st and 2nd floors of the museum, see if you can answer the following questions. 1.

    AFRICAN EAST-ASIAN AFFAIRS THE CHINA MONITOR Issue 1 | August 2012 Richard L. Bernal China and Small-Island Developing States Seifudein Adem Imperial Ethiopia’s relations with Maoist China Gérard Van Bracht A survey of Zambian views on Chinese people and their involvement in Zambia Aravind Yelery China’s transition to innovation and IT market Issue 1 AFRICAN August 2012 EAST-ASIAN AFFAIRS Editorial Dear Reader, Welcome to the new look version of African East-Asian Affairs, The China Monitor. As you can see, we have moved towards a generic cover page. While this means that we ‘lose’ the nice cover images, it also illustrates our move towards a more professional and more academic journal-type publication that we aspire to provide with the African East- Asian Affairs. Ultimately, we aspire to develop the journal further to provide a platform for academic discussion on China, its global role and, more specifically, China-African relations from the African continent. China has become a major partner of many African states and therefore its internal developments and policies towards African countries is of major importance. One of the key developments in recent years was the mutual interaction and direct engagement between Africa and China; this is a precondition for mutual understanding. From an African perspective, one can be fascinated by China’s rise or be a critic of Chinese business and other engagement - whatever the perspective, China is and will remain relevant for the African continent. This relationship is not an exclusive engagement, neither for China nor for Africa. There are obviously numerous other interested parties who we also encourage to contribute to our publication.

    SLATER SIGNALS The Newsletter of the USS SLATER's Volunteers By Timothy C. Rizzuto, Executive Director Destroyer Escort Historical Museum USS Slater DE-766 PO Box 1926 Albany, NY 12201-1926 Phone (518) 431-1943, Fax 432-1123 Vol. 18 No. 4, April 2015 Our opening month kept our tour guides busy. School was out at the beginning of April for Easter and Spring Break, so we were pleased to welcome many families and students for the first nice days of spring. Despite a few chilly days, and even the occasional April snow flurry, the days were sunny more often than not. Our opening day included two special visits. Included in Alan Fox’s group was the family of the late Joseph G. Kaufmann, who served in the Coast Guard as a motormac aboard USS RAMSDEN DE-382, in WWII. After their father's death, the family arranged for Joe’s personal war memorabilia to be donated to the Museum. Despite the chaos going on in special collections with the restoration work, Dave Pitlyk had all their father’s memorabilia out for them to revisit. A second special guest was our former Board President and Trustee Emeritus, Frank Lasch. It was Frank’s birthday, and he insisted on being brought back to USS SLATER to celebrate. We will be forever indebted to Frank for the ten years he served as our first Albany Board President, and putting SLATER on the sound financial footing that continues to this day. A very pleasant surprise on opening day. Also during the month of April, Shanna Hopson completed her new tour guide training, and passed her evaluation with flying colors.
