In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.

  • Comsubforpac USS SCULPIN (SS 191)
    USS Sculpin (SS 191) Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet USS SCULPIN (SS 191) November 19, 1943 - 62 Men Lost En route to Johnston Island, SCULPIN, under Cmdr. Fred Connaway, left Pearl Harbor on 5 November 1943. After topping off with fuel, she left Johnston on 7 November to conduct her ninth patrol in an area in the Caroline Islands. Her mission was to support the action of our surface forces in the Gilbert Islands by intercepting and attacking any enemy forces which might be proceeding from Truk toward the Marshall Islands to oppose our surface forces. She was to leave her area on 14 December, and return to Pearl Harbor, stopping at Johnston for fuel if necessary. SCULPIN was not heard from following her departure from Johnston Island on 7 November. During the patrol, Commander John P. Cromwell (promoted Captain during the patrol) was aboard SCULPIN. He was to take charge of a coordinated attack group consisting of SCULPIN, SEARAVEN, and either APOGON or SPEARFISH, if formation of the group were directed by dispatch. Should the group be ordered formed, Captain Cromwell would transmit his orders to them by low frequency radio from SCULPIN. On the night of 29 November, the vessels were directed to form and APOGON was named as the third member of the group. When Captain Cromwell gave no rendezvous orders after 40 hours, ComSubPac sent new orders. SCULPIN was to proceed immediately to Eniwetok, make a close observation, and report any enemy shipping. This was done in order to avoid confusion among the other submarines, and to determine whether SCULPIN was all right.

  • The USS Sculpin (SS-191)
    The USS Sculpin (SS-191) On the night of November 18, 1943 the USS Sculpin (SS-191), a Sargo-class submarine on its ninth patrol, made radar contact on a Japanese convoy and managed to make an end around for what promised to be a successful approach for a dawn attack. However, during the morning attack phase, she was detected by a Japanese destroyer and forced to go deep. While Lt. Commander Fred Connaway and the Sculpin crew listened, the enemy convoy zig-zagged toward her. About an hour later, believing they were in the clear, the submarine rose to periscope depth in hopes of catching the enemy convoy before it moved out of range, but immediately dove again after realizing they had surfaced just 6,000 yards from a destroyer that was lagging behind the convoy. Depth charges ensued from the Japanese destroyer, the Yamagumo, and after hours of being attacked and searched for, by noon it was believed that they had shaken the enemy. An inspection determined that the Sculpin received only minor damage and was fundamentally sound. The diving officer tried to bring her to periscope depth but the depth gauge stuck at 125 feet so the Sculpin surfaced rather abruptly. Once again, Commander Connaway found himself staring at the destroyer headed straight for him. From the conning tower, Connaway screamed for an emergency dive, slammed the hatch behind him and the Sculpin dove deep. The Yamagumo dropped 18 depth charges in close succession, one of which impeded the submarine’s ability to control its depth. As the sub rapidly dove past her maximum depth of 250 feet, she began to leak as the rivets and seams began to give due to the pressure, the steering and diving plane gear were damaged, and she was badly out of trim.

    '^"'^^«^.;^c_x rOFWORLD •WKR II itliiro>iiiiii|r«trMit^i^'it-ri>i«fiinit(i*<j|yM«.<'i|*.*>' mk a ^. N. WESTWOOD nCHTING C1TTDC or WORLD World War II was the last of the great naval wars, the culmination of a century of warship development in which steam, steel and finally aviation had been adapted for naval use. The battles, both big and small, of this war are well known, and the names of some of the ships which fought them are still familiar, names like Bismarck, Warspite and Enterprise. This book presents these celebrated fighting ships, detailing both their war- time careers and their design features. In addition it describes the evolution between the wars of the various ship types : how their designers sought to make compromises to satisfy the require - ments of fighting qualities, sea -going capability, expense, and those of the different naval treaties. Thanks to the research of devoted ship enthusiasts, to the opening of government archives, and the publication of certain memoirs, it is now possible to evaluate World War II warships more perceptively and more accurately than in the first postwar decades. The reader will find, for example, how ships in wartime con- ditions did or did not justify the expecta- tions of their designers, admiralties and taxpayers (though their crews usually had a shrewd idea right from the start of the good and bad qualities of their ships). With its tables and chronology, this book also serves as both a summary of the war at sea and a record of almost all the major vessels involved in it.

    Walden I Hayden Compiled by Judy Hansen July 2020 Walden Ira Hayden was the 2nd child of four children born to Ira Edwin and Elvira Naomi Wilding Hayden on 5 July 1905 in Hunter, Utah which is the west side of Salt Lake City. His siblings were Ida, Edna, and Raymond. His father died when he was just a year old. Walden joined the Navy Dec 1923. He married Arlene Leah Webb from Lehi, Utah on 25 Nov 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were the parents of three children; a stillborn son born 11 Oct 1930, Son Warren Ray born 10 Sept 1935, and daughter Elaine estimated birth July 1939. Records show that Walden was on the USS Detroit (CL-8) in 1931 and 1939. In January 1931 the USS Detroit sailed for a combined fleet problem off Balboa, then became flagship for Commander, Destroyer Squadrons, Battle Force on 19 March 1931 based on San Diego California. The 1940 US Census of San Diego shows that Walden was living with his wife and two children on Villa Terrace Street in San Diego on April 3, 1940. His daughter is 9 months old at that time and was born in Utah so it may be safe to say his family had recently moved to San Diego. Records show that Walden was on the USS Jarvis in 1939, 1941, and 1942. This was the 2nd USS Jarvis (DD-393). This would have put Walden serving along the California Coastline until leaving San Diego 1 April 1940. At that time they went to the Hawaiian Islands arriving at Pearl Harbor 17 April 1940.
