In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326).

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.

    Submarines in the United States Navy - Wikipedia Page 1 of 13 Submarines in the United States Navy There are three major types of submarines in the United States Navy: ballistic missile submarines, attack submarines, and cruise missile submarines. All submarines in the U.S. Navy are nuclear-powered. Ballistic subs have a single strategic mission of carrying nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Attack submarines have several tactical missions, including sinking ships and subs, launching cruise missiles, and gathering intelligence. The submarine has a long history in the United States, beginning with the Turtle, the world's first submersible with a documented record of use in combat.[1] Contents Early History (1775–1914) World War I and the inter-war years (1914–1941) World War II (1941–1945) Offensive against Japanese merchant shipping and Japanese war ships Lifeguard League Cold War (1945–1991) Towards the "Nuclear Navy" Strategic deterrence Post–Cold War (1991–present) Composition of the current force Fast attack submarines Ballistic and guided missile submarines Personnel Training Pressure training Escape training Traditions Insignia Submarines Insignia Other insignia Unofficial insignia Submarine verse of the Navy Hymn See also External links References https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarines_in_the_United_States_Navy 3/24/2018 Submarines in the United States Navy - Wikipedia Page 2 of 13 Early History (1775–1914) There were various submersible projects in the 1800s.

  • Review of the Benefits of No-Take Zones

    Review of the Benefits of No-Take Zones

    1 Preface This report was commissioned by the Wildlife Conservation Society to support a three-year project aimed at expanding the area of no-take, or replenishment, zones to at least 10% of the territorial sea of Belize by the end of 2015. It is clear from ongoing efforts to expand Belize’s no-take zones that securing support for additional fishery closures requires demonstrating to fishers and other stakeholders that such closures offer clear and specific benefits to fisheries – and to fishers. Thus, an important component of the national expansion project has been to prepare a synthesis report of the performance of no-take zones, in Belize and elsewhere, in replenishing fisheries and conserving biodiversity, with the aim of providing positive examples, elucidating the factors contributing to positive results, and developing scientific arguments and data that can be used to generate and sustain stakeholder support for no-take expansion. To this end, Dr. Craig Dahlgren, a recognized expert in marine protected areas and fisheries management, with broad experience in the Caribbean, including Belize, was contracted to prepare this synthesis report. The project involved an in-depth literature review of no-take areas and a visit to Belize to conduct consultations with staff of the Belize Fisheries Department, marine reserve managers, and fishermen, collect information and national data, and identify local examples of benefits of no-take areas. In November 2013, Dr. Dahlgren presented his preliminary results to the Replenishment Zone Project Steering Committee, and he subsequently incorporated feedback received from Steering Committee members and WCS staff in this final report.

His father was a civil engineer involved in constructing harbor facilities on Lake Ontario. The Sims family, consisting of five siblings, lived in Canada until 1872 and then moved to Orbisonia, Pennsylvania. Sims was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy from Pennsylvania in 1876. He was not particularly well prepared for academic life and was an average student. After graduating in 1880, he served in USS Tennessee and later in USS Swatara, where he was promoted to ensign. Between 1882 and 1897, he served in USS Yantic, the schoolship, Saratoga, USS Philadelphia, USS Charleston, and the receiving ships Colorado and Richmond.

Keeler Letter Inclusive Dates: 1863 February Catalog number: MS0457 Physical Characteristics: 1 letter Language: English Creator: Keeler, William Frederick, 1821-1886 SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection consists of a single letter written by William F. Keeler on February 13, 1863 to David Ellis informing the latter that he had been appointed the Paymaster’s Steward on USS Florida. This letter is significant in that it contains the names and/or signatures of four former crewmen and officers of the US Steam Battery Monitor: John P. Bankhead, David R. Ellis, Samuel Dana Greene, and William F. Keeler. Greene noted on the letter the date that Ellis reported for duty and signed off; Bankhead simply wrote “Approved” and signed. Bankhead, who was captain of Monitor when it sank on December 31, 1862, was given command of Florida sometime in the winter of 1862/63 while that vessel was in New York for repairs. Bankhead requested that Greene and Keeler be assigned as his executive officer and paymaster, respectively, aboard the Florida, positions which both had held on Monitor. Keeler, in turn, requested that Ellis be assigned his steward, the same position that Ellis also had held on Monitor.

    Library Leadership Lessons Gleaned from WWII Submariners Stuart Gaetjens Abstract Many aspects of good leadership have not changed over time. This article uses examples from World War II submarining, particularly Capt. Eugene Fluckey’s experiences, as a launching point for discussing modern academic library leadership. There are six points of leadership discussed which alternate between submarining and libraries: selecting team members, cross-training, respecting the individual, developing esprit de corps, communicating hard truths, and thinking big thoughts. Introduction At the beginning of World War II, submarines were seen as fragile and vulnerable. Captains were trained to remain submerged all day hunting for enemy ships sitting in one place or moving at a couple miles per hour on battery power. Temperatures inside the submarine would rise to 130 degrees.1 Oxygen levels would drop so low that lit matches would immediately go out. No one could use the bathroom during the day because the burst of air used to expel waste might give away the submarine’s location. Then at night they would surface to change locations and charge their batteries. By the end of the war, bold leaders were running on the surface day and night and attacking land targets with rockets. The submarines did not change significantly during the war, but the leaders did. Capt. Eugene Fluckey summarized it by saying, “it inspired me to see that submarining had risen to its full, mature potential.”2 Leaders reevaluated the capabilities and risks and became the hunters rather than the hunted. What are the expectations of what libraries can be today? Are we creeping along under the waves, or boldly cruising on the surface? I have identified the following five areas in which effective leaders and managers can improve their team; then a sixth area which separates visionary leaders from effective managers.
