Vice Admiral Marmaduke G. Bayne US Navy Oral History Vice Admiral Marmaduke G. Bayne U.S. Navy (Retired) Conducted by David F. Winkler, Ph.D. Naval Historical Foundation 16 July 1998 26 August 1998 Naval Historical Foundation Washington, DC 2000 Introduction I first contacted Vice Admiral Bayne in 1996, it was in relation to another series of interviews I had intended to conduct with Secretary of the Navy Fred Korth. Bayne had served as Korth’s Executive Assistant and thus could provide an overview of the issues. He invited me to Irvington and was gracious with his time, providing me with good background material. At that time it became obvious that Bayne would be a good interview subject, however, he politely declined. Unfortunately, Korth fell ill and subsequently passed away so the planned interviews were never conducted. However, Bayne had a change of heart and agreed to a biographical interview that included the period that he served as Korth’s EA. Besides serving as a SecNav EA, Vice Admiral Bayne’s career is significant as he served in the Submarine Service during a period of transformation from WWII diesel boats to a force including nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. In his interviews, Bayne details a career serving as a junior officer on a Fleet Boat in the Western Pacific battling the Japanese Empire to command of a missile boat flotilla in the Mediterranean Sea in the late 1960s. In addition, he served in several political-military posts, with his most important being Commander, Middle East Force. As COMIDEASTFOR, Bayne negotiated with the Bahraini government for an American naval shore presence there that continues to the present. Indeed, when I visited Bahrain in November 1998 to write on the history of USN-Bahraini relations, I noted that the Bahrain School Library was named for him. In addition to thanking Vice Admiral Bayne for his interview and subsequent review of the transcript, I greatly appreciate the assistance of Yeoman Chief Frank Arre, USN (Ret.) who transcribed the first session and Rear Admiral James D. Cossey, USN (Ret.) who transcribed the second interview. David F. Winkler, Ph.D. September 1999 2 Vice Admiral Marmaduke G. Bayne, USN (Ret.) Marmaduke Gresham Bayne was born on 2 May 1920 in Norfolk, Virginia, son of Marmaduke G. and Lessie Lee (McConnico) Bayne.

He had command of the USS TRIGGER (SS 564) from April 1955 to January 1957, then had instruction at the Armed Forces Staff College, Norfolk, Virginia, for the next seven months. He reported in July 1957, as Assistant Head of the Submarine Warfare Branch in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Navy Department, Washington, D.C., serving there for three years until joining the staff of Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet as Plans Officer in September 1960. In July 1961, he became Commander Submarine Division SIXTY- TWO deploying to the Mediterranean with his division of submarines for duty with the SIXTH Fleet.

Operating out of Fremantle, Australia, the submarine made five war patrols between 8 September 1944 and 17 June 1945 in the South China Sea, Java Sea, Lombok Strait, and north of the Malay Barrier. During these patrols Bergall sank two merchantmen totaling 14,710 tons and one 740-ton frigate. USS Bergall is a Balao-class submarine and was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Bergall, a small fish of the New England coast. Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut. She was later sold to Turkey and operated as TCG Turgutreis (S 342) until scrapped some time in 1977.

  • The Ethio-Eritrea Common Market (1991 to 1998)
    Asymmetric Benefits: The Ethio-Eritrea Common Market (1991-1998) Worku Aberra, Dawson College, Westmount, Quebec Abstract Economic theory suggests that a common market between two or more countries improves overall well-being, but it creates winners and losers in each country. Recent empirical findings also show that the overall impact of a common market on per capita income depends on the similarity of economic development between member countries. A common market among developed countries results in the convergence of per capita income while a common market among developing countries results in the divergence of per capita income. The difference in outcome, some economists suggest, is due to variations in comparative advantage between member states and the rest of the world. But the theory of comparative advantage does not fully explain the results of the de facto common market between Ethiopia and Eritrea (1991-1998). The empirical findings of this study demonstrate that the Ethio-Eritrea preferential trade arrangement benefited Eritrea and harmed Ethiopia. The main reason for these asymmetric consequences was acceptance by the Ethiopian government of the unfavourable terms of the preferential trade arrangement between the two countries. Background Economic theory suggests that a common market between two or more countries improves overall well-being, but such a market also creates winners and losers in each country because of the flow of capital, labor, goods, and services across the member countries (Venables, 2016). When capital flows from countries with a low rate of profit (capital-abundant countries) to countries with a high rate of profit (capital-poor countries), it reduces the difference in the rate of profit, and owners of capital in countries with a high rate of profit lose while owners of capital in countries with a low rate of profit gain.
