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.

  • Sanctuary Lost: the Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974
    Sanctuary Lost: The Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Martin Hurley, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Alan Beyerchen Professor Ousman Kobo Copyright by Matthew Martin Hurley 2009 i Abstract From 1963 to 1974, Portugal and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, or PAIGC) waged an increasingly intense war for the independence of ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, then a colony but today the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. For most of this conflict Portugal enjoyed virtually unchallenged air supremacy and increasingly based its strategy on this advantage. The Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa, abbreviated FAP) consequently played a central role in the war for Guinea, at times threatening the PAIGC with military defeat. Portugal‘s reliance on air power compelled the insurgents to search for an effective counter-measure, and by 1973 they succeeded with their acquisition and employment of the Strela-2 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, altering the course of the war and the future of Portugal itself in the process. To date, however, no detailed study of this seminal episode in air power history has been conducted. In an international climate plagued by insurgency, terrorism, and the proliferation of sophisticated weapons, the hard lessons learned by Portugal offer enduring insight to historians and current air power practitioners alike.

The first president of the party was Dr. Eduardo Chiambabo Mondlane, an anthropologist who worked at the UN. Since Mozambique's independence on 25 June 1975, FRELIMO has been the country's main political force and has since been the party of the situation. A historic movement that fought for Mozambique's independence and negotiated its independence from Portugal under the Lusaka Accords (7 September 1974), FRELIMO was a political force that took power constitutionally. In 1977, during the third congress, the movement decided to become a Marxist-Leninist political party (FRELIMO party) and continued to govern the country as a single party until 1994. In 1990, however, the People's Assembly approved a new constitution that changed the political system by adopting the formation of other parties. With the end of the destabilizing war in Mozambique in 1992, the first multi-party elections were held in 1994 and the FRELIMO party was declared the winner.

  • Submarine Warfare: with Emphasis on the 1936 London Protocol
    XVI Submarine Warfare: With Emphasis on the 1936 London Protocol The Law oj Naval Waifare: Targeting Enemy Merchant Shipping 28 (Naval War College International Law Studies No. 65, Richard]. Grunawalt ed., 1993) Part I Early History of the Submarine lthough the idea of a submersible boat dates back at least to the early A seventeenth century, and a number of efforts to perfect such a vessel had occurred over the subsequent years, it was not until the latter part of the eighteenth century that realistic attempts began to be made in this respect. During the American Revolution David Bushnell devised a one-man submersible known as the American Turtle. Its several attacks against British warships were, for one reason or another, all unsuccessful.! Then in 1797 Robert Fulton, who had been demonstrating his version ofthe submersible to the French Navy, submitted a proposal to the French Directory for the construction and the use by his "Nautulus Company" of a submarine against the ships of the British Navy. Paragraph Six of that proposal stated? And whereas fire Ships or other unusual means of destroying Navies are Considered Contrary to the Laws of war, and persons taken in such enterprises are liable to Suffer death, it will be an object of Safety if the Directory give the Nautulus Company Commissions Specifying that all persons taken in the Nautulus or Submarine Expeditio/l Shall be treated as Prisoners of War, And in Case of Violence being offered the Government will Retaliate on the British Prisoners in a four fold degree. It can thus be seen that even in its earliest form, and even when it was to be directed solely against warships, the submarine was a controversial weapon.

Kullberg 1GeoBioTec, Earth Sciences Department, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade NOVA Lisboa, Campus de Caparica. 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal. [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract For more than last sixty years, numerous denominations have been used in the Portuguese language to name the Atlantic-type sedimentary basin formed between the Upper Triassic and the Late Cretaceous, located in the central part of the western Iberian margin, and associated with the initial episodes of fragmentation Corresponding author: of the Pangea in the North Atlantic; in recent years only two names have been used: “Bacia Lusitânica” and R.

Although Paul Choffat, the “creator” of the “Lusitanian” stage did not defined the etymology of the Journal webpage: the word (“Lusitaniano” in Portuguese), we at least consider that this stage is clearly linked to the existence, in http://cienciasdaterra.novaidfct.pt/index. the Basin, of stratigraphic units of this age. It is shown that the adjective “Lusitanian” is neither a foreign word php/ct-esj/article/view/362 or a mistranslation of terms in both English (Lusitanian) and French (Lusitanienne).

  • The Tanker War and the Law of Armed Conflict (Loac)
    Chapter V THE TANKER WAR AND THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT (LOAC) he 1980-88 Tanker War nearly ran the gamut of issues related to the law of T armed conflict (LOAC), or the law ofwar (LOW) and its component, the law of naval warfare (LONW). The general law of maritime neutrality, general issues of necessity and proportionality, and issues of specific concern-visit and search including operations against convoyed, escorted or accompanied neutral mer­ chant ships; commerce ofbelligerents including belligerents' convoys and contra­ band; acquisition of enemy character; blockade, maritime exclusion and other zones and other uses of the ocean for warfare; capture of neutral vessels; humani­ tarian law and belligerents' personnel interned by neutral governments; targeting of ships and aircraft including convoys; conventional weapons; mine warfare; treatment of noncombatants, e.g., merchant seamen; deception (ruses ofwar) dur­ ing armed conflict-all figured during the Tanker War. These are the subjects of this Chapter as they applied to belligerents and neutrals during the war. Chapter III analyzed UN Charter law with particular reference to the law of self-defense and its relationship to the law ofneutrality, the law oftreaties, custom­ ary law, andjus cogens-based norms, and the general principles ofneutrality as they apply to war at sea, and to conduct between neutrals and belligerents. This Chapter will not repeat that analysis, except as it interfaces with the LOAC in situations in­ volving neutrals, e.g., mine warfare, discussed in sub-Part G.2. Chapter IV analyzed the law of the sea, and those principles will not be repeated in here, except as LOS concepts, e.g., due regard for others' uses of the sea, 1 apply by analogy in the LOAC.
