(December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

  • Change and the Construction of Identity in the US
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: “THE SQUADRON UNDER YOUR COMMAND”: CHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN THE U.S. NAVY’S NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON, 1874-1897 James C. Rentfrow, PhD, 2012 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida Department of History This dissertation examines the transformation of the United States Navy as a fighting organization that took place on the North Atlantic Station between 1874 and 1897. At the beginning of this period, the warships assigned to this station were collectively administered by a rear-admiral, but were operationally deployed as individual units, each of whose actions were directed by their captains. By 1897 the North Atlantic, or “Home” Squadron as it was known, was a group of warships constituting a protean battle fleet – that is, an organized body moving and fighting in close-order, which meant that the actions of the captains were directed by a commanding admiral. The development of an American battle fleet resulted in the construction of a new organizational identity for the North Atlantic Squadron. This process was as critical as the eventual outcome. It was not linear, but one in which progress in critical areas was modulated by conflicting demands that caused distraction. From 1874-1888, exercises in fleet tactics under steam were carried out sporadically utilizing existing wooden cruising vessels. From 1889-1894, the last wooden cruisers were decommissioned and the Squadron consisted entirely of new steel warships. Ad-hoc concentrations of vessels for purposes besides exercise and training retarded the continued development of doctrine and tactics necessary for a multi-ship fighting capability during this time.

  • Military Incompetence Revisited
    Military Incompetence Revisited : The Dark Side of Professionalism By Christopher Dandeker Who now reads Norman Dixon’s The Psychology of Military Incompetence, published 40 years ago, and does it matter ? Historical examples of military incompetence – sometimes referred to as ‘military blunders’ or in the case of Elliot Cohen and John Gooch,1 as “military misfortunes” or failures – are legion : the failure of the Royal Navy to defeat the German High Seas fleet at Jutland in 1916 – the absence of a ‘great victory’ that so many had anticipated before the First World War; the British defeat by the Japanese at Singapore 1941-2; the defeat of the French Army and Air Force (and the British Expeditionary Force) by the German Wehrmacht in 1940 ; the British defeat at Arnhem by the Wehrmacht (Operation Market Garden) in 1944 ; the failure of the US’s attempt to invade Cuba in 1961, known as the Bay of Pigs fiasco. In 1997, Donna Winslow documented how the Canadian Airborne Regiment’s (CAR) culture and initiation rites led to morally incompetent, disgraceful behaviour in the field, including the beating to death of a Somali youth. The unit’s culture was based on a stereotyped form of hypermasculine warrior, which had no place in any field operation and so deeply rooted was this culture that the government disbanded the CAR rather than seeking to change its leaders and practices. One aspect of the unit culture is far from peculiar in military and civilian organizations : a belief in the need to rally round to protect peers, subordinates and superior officers from outside enquiry and challenge, and hostility to any ‘whistle blowing’ about incompetence and/or wrongdoing , which is seen as a betrayal of the unit.2 Thus, incompetence can involve a breach of technical professional and/ or moral rules that underpin the military profession.

  • 5. Liberalism, Imperialism and Colonial Expansion
    5. Liberalism, Imperialism and colonial expansion Of all the colonies in the Pacific Ocean, only Fiji, where the labour trade was also active, was seen to be of much interest to the Imperial government (Ward 1948: 261). This had not always been so. In 1855, Seru Ebenezer Cakobau, warrior chief (Vunivalu) of Bau, had been held responsible by the United States Government for the payment of compensation to the government totalling US$45,000 as a result of a fire that had begun by accident. Cakobau was seen by the Americans to be the ‘King of Fiji’ and as a result of this demand he turned to the British Consul for assistance. In 1858 he petitioned Great Britain to accept his offer of ceding the whole of Fiji to the Crown. The Colonial Office declined. Lord Carnarvon reported that Fiji ‘would be a troublesome and unprofitable addition to the empire’ (Drus 1950: 87). There was also some disquiet in London about Cakobau’s claims to be paramount chief and his right to cede all islands to a foreign power (Robson 1995: 173). The Colonial Office was strongly influenced in this decision by Sir William Denison, the Governor of New South Wales, who become alarmed by unrest in New Zealand as a result of the influx of white settlers there. So strongly was the Colonial Office against annexation of the islands that they requested the Foreign Office to formally rebuke Consul William Pritchard who had promoted the idea. Pritchard was later dismissed from the service after a very dubious commission of inquiry and a campaign against him by the Wesleyan missionaries (Robson 1995: 175; Drus 1950: 90).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M Repository THE ADMIRALTY, POPULAR NAVALISM, AND THE JOURNALIST AS MIDDLEMAN, 1884-1914 A Dissertation by BRADLEY M. CESARIO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, R.J.Q. Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp Joseph G. Dawson James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Bradley M. Cesario ABSTRACT The three decades before the First World War were a period of intense militarism, and in the United Kingdom this meant navalism. By the late Edwardian period the navalist movement had captured Britain’s attention – a movement that paradoxically claimed the Royal Navy was weaker than at any point in its history while presiding over a total revolution in British naval technology and a concurrent unprecedented rise in naval budgets. This dissertation explores the creation, propagation, success and failure of directed navalism between 1884 and 1914. Directed navalism, for the purposes of this project, refers to the cooperation between and support of navalism among three elite national groups: serving naval officers at the level of captain and above (professionals), naval correspondents and editors working for large- circulation national newspapers and periodicals (press), and members of Parliament in both houses, from backbenchers to high Cabinet-level officials, who dealt with navalist issues during the course of their public service careers (politicians). Directed navalism was the bedrock upon which the more popular and ultimately more successful ‘soft’ navalism – penny dreadfuls, the Navy League, fundraising drives, fleet reviews – was built.
