Hunley - CSS Squib - USS Spuyten Duyvil - SMS TB S.33 - HM TB T.85 - USS Winslow - HM CMB.4 - Italian MAS.15 - USS Shearer - Russian Torpedo Cutter G.5 - US PT.34 - Italian MAS.451 - HM MGB.81 - HM MTB.234 - German S.100 plus the amazing German Type 5B 3 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1863 - CSS David The CSS David was the first vessel designed specifically from the keel up as a torpedo boat, and the first in naval history to explode a torpedo against the side of an enemy ship. On that night of October 5, 1863, the USS New Ironsides was placed out of action for almost two years. 1864 - CSS H.L. Hunley The first successful sinking of an enemy vessel by a submarine was carried out on a cold and moonlit night in February, 1864. The craft accomplishing this extraordinary feat was the CSS H.L. Hunley. In just five minutes after the torpedo exploded against her side, the USS Housatonic, a 1,240 ton, 207 foot steam sloop of war, was resting on the ocean floor. Naval warfare would never be the same again. 4 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1864 - CSS Squib On the night of April 9, 1864 Lt. Hunter Davidson, CSN and a crew of six men in a small armored launch, successfully attacked the 265-foot, 47-gun, USS Minnesota in Hampton Roads, Virginia. The small 53-pound, soar mounted torpedo struck the Minnesota amidships creating havoc and despair among the Minnesota's crew. While the Minnesota was not severely damaged, the threat of small, fast boats with their deadly cargo of torpedoes was firmly established. 1864 - USS Spuyten Duyvil The Spuyten Duyvil was a true armored warship unlike the smaller CSS David - the South's first torpedo boat. While the David could only be deployed for several hours at a time, the Spuyten Duyvil could go for eight days with adequate food and water for nine men. It could carry several torpedoes allowing for it to make multiple attacks. The most remarkable feature of the ship was the ability, by separately driven engine pumps, to raise and lower herself in the water. She could change her draft by a full 3’ 5-1/2.” This design also ensured the complete sound proofing of the boat. Spuyten Duyvil’s only combat action was the battle of Trent’s Reach in the closing days of the Civil War. 5 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1887 - SMS Torpedo Boat S.33 1889 - HM Torpedo Boat T.85 6 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1897 - USS Winslow (Torpedo Boat No. 5) USS Winslow was built at Baltimore, Maryland and commissioned on 29 December 1897 at the Norfolk Navy Yard. She was named in honor of John Ancrum Winslow, captain of USS Kearsarge during her battle with the Confederate raider Alabama. In 1898 the United States and Spain were at war. On 11 May, Winslow, patrolling the northern coast of Cuba, proceeded to Cardenas. There, the commanding officer of USS Wilmington took his ship-- escorted by Winslow and the US revenue cutter Hudson--into the harbor in search of Spanish gunboats. Entering the harbor, Winslow was investigating a small Spanish steamer when a shot from the enemy's bow gun signaled the beginning of combat. Winslow responded with her 1-pounders, but enemy batteries ashore opened fire. The first shot to hit Winslow destroyed her steering gear. Another shot knocked the port main engine out of commission. She maneuvered with her remaining engine and maintained return fire. At this point, fire from Wilmington and Hudson put the Spanish gunboat out of action and quieted the shore batteries. Hudson towed the disabled Winslow out of harm's way. One of the last Spanish shells to strike the torpedo boat killed Ensign Worth Bagley - the first naval officer killed in the Spanish-American War. Winslow's commanding officer and a number of others in her crew were wounded. Winslow was placed out of commission at Boston in 1909. 1916 - HM Coastal Motor Boat CMB.4 7 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1916 - Italian Navy Motorbarca Anti- Sommergibile MAS.15 The MAS 15 gave Italy one of its best known naval hero’s of the First World War. The MAS 15 and 21 made an attack on an Austrian anchorage near Premuda Island and sank the battleship Szent Istvan one of the largest battleships in the Austro-Hungarian fleet. 1918 - American-designed Shearer, one man torpedo boat The Shearer torpedo boat was a one-of-a-kind design that showed little promise from its inception. It was an interesting idea but was impractical. It was to be of wood construction with a 35 hp petrol engine and carry one man and one torpedo. It was slow, the small engine did not promise success, and it came too late in the Great War for the U.S. Navy to seriously consider the boat for construction. Shearer also submitted designs in the 1930’s and in 1942. 8 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1934 - Russian Navy Tupolev Torpedo Cutter G.5 The Soviet Tupolev G-5 torpedo boat was one of the most unique designs among ships of World War II. The father of the G-5 was eminent aircraft designer, Professor Andrey N. Tupolev. While smaller than any other torpedo boat in any navy, it attained a brilliant war record and the courage of its crew was legendary. 1941 - US Patrol Torpedo Boat PT.34 PT-34 of MTB Squadron 3 was one of six PT boats that represented the entire fighting American Navy in December 1941. The 84 officers and enlisted men of the PT boat squadron went to war against the Japanese Pacific forces. PT-34 met its end on April 9, 1942. After surviving an attack the day before against Japanese destroyers and a cruiser, she was again attacked by four Japanese floatplanes. All boats of MTB Squadron 3 were lost. 9 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1941 - Italian Navy Motorbarca Anti- Sommergibile MAS.451 The Italian Navy line of fast attack torpedo boats (MAS) were perhaps the most well designed and thoroughly tested small boats of any navy. Their design was constantly refined from 1881-1941 giving the boat builders and crews decades of practical experience. 1942 - HM Motor Gun Boat MGB.81 10 TORPEDO CRAFT THROUGH THE ART OF JOSEPH HINDS 1942 - HM Motor Torpedo Boat MTB.234, Vosper- type The Vosper MTB crews had confidence in their boats, which were known for good sea keeping abilities, high speed and sound construction. As the war progressed, radar and heavier weapons made the Vosper boats even more formidable. The boats and crews had a sterling record while enduring incredible hardships. 1943 - German Schnellboot S.100 German S-boats of World War II were among the best small combatant vessels ever produced.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.
