    Preservation, Education, and Commemoration Vol. 52, No. 1 Winter 2012-2013 PULL TOGETHER Newsletter of the Naval Historical Foundation Doing History the Royal Navy Way Interview with former First Sea Lord Adm. Sir Jonathon Band GCB DL—page 3 Unsung American Naval Hero —page 9 Also in this issue: Message From the Chairman, p. 2; Navy Museum News, pp. 15-18; Lady Franklin Bay Relief Expedition, pp. 20–21; Naval History News, pp. 22-24; News From the NHF, pp. 25–31. Message From the Chairman In recent weeks you should have received a letter from our new president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell, detailing many of the accomplishments made by your Naval Historical Foundation (NHF) during 2012. This annual appeal generates needed funds to sustain the day-to-day operations of the NHF. Copy paper, paper clips, pens, sticky notes, and most especially our people are the motor oil that keep the Foundation engine running; past year- end appeals have generated the sums needed to strengthen our fi nancial base. Thus, I hope that you can respond with a check or an online contribution. If you are in government service, also think about us as a designated charity for the Combined Federal Campaign. Your contributions make a big difference in our ability to preserve our naval history, commemorate the accomplishments of our Sailors, and educate Americans about our Navy’s great history and heritage. Education is one of our most important priorities. Current Navy leaders are a key component of the audiences we seek to enlighten. In that regard, we received much positive feedback on our last edition of Pull Together, which opened with a reprint of Dudley Knox’s 1926 “Our Vanishing History and Traditions” article that led to the creation of our organization.

On the nation’s economic front, these two decades couldn’t have been more different. Following a brief recession after World War I, the American economy expanded at an unprecedented rate and in 1929 gross national product reached one-third of the world total. Conversely, that October’s stock-market crash ushered in the Great Depression, a decade of hardship at home and around the world. The fortunes of the American shipbuilding industry were nearly the reverse. During the four years after the war ended, deliveries dropped to less than 5 percent of the World War I peak and stayed there until 1938. This near collapse brought plant closings, layoffs, and a corresponding loss of expertise that jeopardized the industry’s future ability to rebound – a circumstance decried in 1944 by no less than the US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest J.
