Page 6 Also in the issue: Olympia update, pp. 9–10 ; Navy Museum News, pp. 12–13; Naval History News, pp. 14–16; News from the NHF, pp. 17–20; Remembering Rear Admiral Kane pp. 22-23. Message From the Chairman Last month, you received the Foundation’s year-end appeal from our president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell. If you sent your donations earlier this year, or in response to this appeal, thank you! For those of you contemplating a gift, I hope you’ll refl ect on our successes in “preserving and honoring the legacy of those who came before us; educating and inspiring the generations who will follow.” We’ve got much left to do, and your support makes all the difference. This is a great time to make that tax-deductible donation or IRA distribution direct to NHF! The year-end appeal featured a 1948 letter from then-NHF Vice President Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz to then-NHF President Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King referring to the budget and political woes encountered 65 years ago in the nation’s capital: “I, for one, am glad to be away from that trouble spot….” Yet despite the challenges King faced, including a series of debilitating strokes, he remained strongly committed to growing the NHF and educating the American public about this nation’s great naval heritage.

  • THE PHILIPPINE NAVY • Four-Fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2
    THE PHILIPPINE NAVY Learning Outcomes: After the class discussion, the students are expected to: • Enumerate the mission and role of the Modern Philippine Navy • Develop an appreciation on the short history of the Philippine Navy during its infancy stage Four-fold Mission: 1. National Defense 2. Security Operations 3. Deterrence 4. National Development The Navy's Roles The modern Navy has expanded its roles beyond the initial mandate to protect the country's shores. These roles include: 1. The Navy shall defend the territory from external aggression. 2. The Navy shall continue its role of securing the Philippine maritime areas from all forms of intrusions and encroachment, piracy and drug trafficking. 3. The Navy shall assist other government agencies in protecting our marine resources and environment. 4. The Navy shall continue to assist in the conduct of rescue and relief operations not only during accidents _________________________________________1 at sea but even during natural calamities in land such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods. 5. The Navy shall continue assisting in national socio- economic development. 6. The Navy, as it acquires new and more potent assets, will be an effective instrument of government in fulfilling various security-related international commitments. History The Philippines had long been a seafaring nation. Early Filipino inhabitants came from across the seas - from Ancient China, Borneo and Malay Peninsula. For centuries, seafaring natives living along the coastal areas of the country have sailed across the uncharted waters of the surrounding seas in their frail little boats. The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East.

  • DADT), the Current Law Prohibiting Lesbians and Gays from Serving Openly in the U.S
    September 20, 2010 Dear Senator: We write to urge your support for repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT), the current law prohibiting lesbians and gays from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces. Right now, one of the greatest threats to securing equality and strengthening our national security are possible amendments designed to delay and kill repeal language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). As the recent cases of Log Cabin Republicans vs. U.S. and Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach demonstrate, DADT undermines national security by disrupting the work of well‐qualified and experienced service members. A 19‐year combat aviator with over 2,000 total flying hours and 25 million dollars in training, Lt. Col. Fehrenbach is now about to be drummed out of the Air Force after being outed by a spiteful civilian. This situation not only harms military readiness but also disrespects a combat veteran’s selfless service. DADT is the only law in the country that requires people to be dishonest about their personal lives or face the possibility of being fired. Poll after poll shows that the attitudes of today’s service members have changed and they care more about their fellow service member’s ability to help in accomplishing missions than who they are as a person. Further, the American public stands with them – 79 percent, a majority of Republicans, Independents and Democrats, support repealing DADT and allowing gays and lesbians to serve with integrity, openly and honestly. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm.

  • Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements
    Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements omen have profoundly impacted our Navy for more than a century, since being Wallowed to join in 1917. To honor those pioneers who have led the way, along with the more than 60,000 women who serve today, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday and Mrs. Linda Gilday, in coordination with Navy History and Heritage Command, created a display in CNO’s residence, Tingey House, as well as this e-book, which is organized into the following groupings: WWII era and prior; a selection of women ‘firsts’ in the Navy; and some photos of today’s Sailors. Where additional information is available, the photos are hyperlinked to articles, videos, and oral histories (click the photo to access the files). While we know this is a small representation of the women who serve today and the millions who have served, it is our hope it sparks conversation that honors women who wear the cloth of this nation. As a Navy, we celebrate the many accomplishments that women have achieved through hard work, grit and determination. Chief Yeoman (F) Loretta Perfectus Walsh After enlisting on March 17, 1917, Chief Walsh became not only the woman to serve in the Navy and its first female Chief Petty Officer, but also the first woman to serve in a non-nursing capacity in any branch of the armed forces. She served as a Yeoman (F) in the U.S. Naval Reserve during WWI. The first enlisted women in the Navy. Recruited to serve for the duration of WWI in order to free up male personnel for duty at sea, nearly 11,000 women were in uniform by Armistice Day (November 11, 1918).
