  • The Uss Liberty Story
    THE USS LIBERTY STORY The USS Liberty – the most decorated Navy ship (single action) 1 PURPOSE -- The USS Liberty Veterans Association (LVA) has tried for over 45 years to expose the true story of the deliberate Israeli attack on the US S Liberty to the American people through books, news media, movies, and letters to the President of the United States and congressmen. The mission of the LVA is to pursue the publication of the true story. While we have encountered politicians and news m edia personnel who were willing to help, they have been unable to interest their superiors or others in supporting our cause. Due to political correctness, many people believe it is just too risky to say anything negative about Israel. FYI: The USS Li berty is the most decorated US Navy ship in the history of the Navy for a single action. THE ISSUE -- The Israelis and the US Government do not want the truth to be told. It is obvious that they fear that America may be less of a supportive ally if the t ruth were known. The truth of their deeds and the Johnson Administration require an objective and complete investigation. Congress has never officially investigated the attack and so the attack continues to be a cover - up of the worst magnitude. The Hous e has a constitutional mandate to “define and punish Pirates and Felonies committed on the high seas and offenses against the Law of Nations (Article 1, section 8)”. Regarding the Arab/Israeli ’67 War, we believe the operational plan was Operation Cyanide .

  • Avoiding Thucydides' Trap in the Western Pacific Through the Air Domain
    DIGITAL-ONLY CADET PERSPECTIVE Avoiding Thucydides’ Trap in the Western Pacific through the Air Domain CADET COLONEL GRANT T. WILLIS Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States has arguably exercised the most powerful global military imbalance the world has ever seen. This domination; however, is perceived to be fading in the wake of a new possible contender. The tension and likelihood of conflict between the United States and the People’s Re- public of China (PRC) has risen in recent decades. The inevitability of conflict has taken root in many academic and strategic forums such as 92nd Street Y with Graham Allison and Gen David Petraeus (US Army, retired), The Belfer Center, the US Army War College, and many others. The term “Thucydides’ Trap” has echoed in many discussions among leading strategic, military, intelligence, and political science analysts. This is the notion of one rising power seeking to take its place in the sun by replacing the perceived declining power, which has caused many to fear a new kind of war. Dr. Graham Allison identified 16 scenarios over the past 500 years in which two nations competed within the parameters of “Thucydides’ Trap,” and of those scenarios, 12 have resulted in war.1 At a war likeli- hood of 75 percent, the odds do not seem to be in Washington’s or Beijing’s favor. The Pivot Under the Obama administration, the United States formulated the “Pivot” policy, but these strategic redeployments have not fully taken shape. This strategic shift out of Europe and into the Indo- Pacific have shown the strategic danger China has represented, and many would argue resulted in a swift buildup of Chi- nese military capability unlike ever before.

  • Teacher Help Guide
    TEACHER HELP GUIDE LESSON PLAN: The Nuclear Umbrella – Still Here After the Cold War DEVELOPED BY: John Clark, science teacher and military historian, Deltona High School, Deltona, FL 2012 Naval Historical Foundation STEM-H Teacher Fellowship INSTRUCTIONAL GOAL: (history) The Cold War period is required study under the educational standards of many states. This lesson offers an original way to cover that period in American history and potentially raise student achievement through its uniqueness. BACKGROUND: The Cold War is officially over but the threat from the evolution of nuclear weapons that created that war remains and is growing. Students need to understand that an attack on the United States by a nuclear weapon is still a very real possibility. Make the Cold War come alive for your students by using the resources and web site of the Cold War Gallery at the Naval Museum in Washington, D.C. to educate today’s students about the realities of living under a nuclear umbrella. Focusing on the role of the Navy during this long and tense 45 year period is a great way to build student interest in learning about an important chapter in recent American history. Students will gain a perspective of how living under the nuclear umbrella has evolved to present day. Our future citizens need to internalize the continuing dangers and the threat to American life evolving from the spread of nuclear weapons around the globe. If you cannot come to the museum you can use its resources by taking your students on a virtual tour of the gallery.

  • The USS America on Track to the Future: an Update from Captain Hall
    USS America Second Line of Defense! ! http://www.sldinfo.com/the-uss-america-on-track-to-the-future-an-update-from-captain- !hall/! The USS America on Track to the Future: An Update from Captain Hall 2013-12-05 We first met with Captain Hall at the time of the christening of the latest large deck amphibious ship for the USN-USMC team. Recently, we were able to discuss the progress of the ship and the next phase of the ship’s preparation for deployment. The Captain is an experienced CRUDES officer. For those of us not raised in the USN, this means an officer with Cruiser-Destroyer surface fleet background. And for Navy folks he would be described as a “black shoe” as opposed to a “brown shoe.” Again for those of us who have not served in the USN, this refers coming from the surface ship community rather than the aviation community.

And in his last deployment with the DDG, he deployed with the USS Kearsarge as well in the Indian Ocean. It is important to remember that Admiral Halsey, when he went into the hospital before the Battle of Midway recommended that his surface ship Commander (a “black shoe” in Navy parlance) Admiral Spruance take command of Task Force 16, the USS Enterprise and USS Hornet battle group.
