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.

  • From the USS Chattanooga to the USS Mahan: U.S
    From the USS Chattanooga to the USS Mahan: U.S. Navy Ship Visits to Tallinn When the guided missile destroyer USS Mahan (DDG-72) arrives in Tallinn harbor before Estonia's Victory Day celebrations, it will be the latest in a long line of U.S. Navy ships to drop anchor in Estonia. This USS Mahan is the fifth U.S. Navy ship to carry the name of Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914), a noted U.S. naval historian and theorist. The U.S. Navy launched the first destroyer named the USS Mahan (DD-102) towards the end of the Great War on August 4, 1918 before being commissioned on October 24, 1918. Just a year later in early November 1919, the light cruiser USS Chattanooga (C-16) – one of the USS Mahan's contemporary vessels – became the first U.S. Navy ship to pay an official visit to the new Republic of Estonia. At the time, the USS Chattanooga served as the flagship of U.S. Naval Forces in European waters. This USS Chattanooga was the second ship of the same name: the original USS Chattanooga was a steamboat built in 1863 at the height of the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) in order to re-supply General Ulysses S. Grant's hungry army in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The newer USS Chattanooga was also performing a delivery of sorts: its mission was to make sure that U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander John A. Gade (then on loan to the U.S. Department of State) made it to his new assignment as the first U.S.

One op- eration after another, beginning with the Marshalls and running straight through the first air strikes on Tokyo, the big battleship has gone about the business of leveling Jap shore instal- lations and protecting carrier forces in the proverbial "one hand tied be- hind the back" fashion. Attacking Jap planes take one look at the dread- nought's gun-studded decks. That's usually enough. The one-time fast carrier task force flagship is potential enemy destruction, and no one is more aware of it than the Japs.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

  • William M. “Buster” Horak
    William M. “Buster” Horak William M. “Buster” Horak Born October 25, 1920 Killed in Action November 13, 1943 This document is to honor the life of Buster Horak, who was serving with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific when he died. Buster on Palace Grounds in Honolulu, August 13, 1941 Buster’s sister, Pearl Horak Griggs, with the help of a neighbor for military information, developed the record below in 2000. It was felt appropriate to provide her biography of Buster here, with additional pictures added. Buster survived the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the Battle of Midway on June 4 & 5, 1942, both of which are discussed herein. PREFACE Although many years have passed since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, I recently received information that I previously had no knowledge. I must acknowledge my neighbor, Ed Bravo, who as a former Navy man took it upon himself to search the internet seeking information pertaining to the ships that Buster served on during World War II in the South Pacific. As a result of his effects, he obtained copies of "U.S.S. Maury, The Ship and Her History", "U.S.S. Denver Deck Log Book and War Diary, December 1, 1942 to December 31, 1942," and the "U.S.S. Denver Deck Log Book & War Diary, November 1, 1943 to November 30, 1943". The Log and War Diary were transcribed as a tribute to the 2700 men who served in the ship during her brief career. Mr. Bravo also e-mailed a letter to Paul L.

    NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: ex-USS Vancouver (LPD-2) USS Vancouver underway off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii in 1967. U.S. Navy photo by PH3 D.R. Hyder. http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/09/0902.htm Vessel History The amphibious transport dock ship USS Vancouver (LPD-2) was laid down on November 19, 1960 at the New York Naval Shipyard in Brooklyn, New York. It was launched on September 15, 1962, and commissioned on May 11, 1963. Vancouver was the second of three Raleigh-class LPDs; USS La Salle (LPD-3) was the third and last of the class. LPDs are named for cities that honor celebrated pioneers and explorers. Vancouver was named for the town of Vancouver, Washington. George Vancouver (1757-1798), British naval officer and explorer, commanded a British expedition that explored Puget Sound in 1792. After completing builder’s trials off New York n the summer of 1963, Vancouver proceeded to Norfolk, Virginia for shakedown training. On August 14 Vancouver steamed from there to its new homeport of San Diego, California via the Panama Canal. Following a brief stop at Acapulco, Mexico after assisting a disabled fishing vessel, Vancouver arrived in San Diego on 2 August 31. That fall Vancouver conducted amphibious operations and visited its namesake, Vancouver, Washington. In December, Vancouver displayed its capabilities for the new Secretary of the Navy Paul H. Nitze and several high-ranking naval officers. From February to May 1964, Vancouver underwent post-shakedown maintenance and repairs in Long Beach, California. In late June it steamed north to Vancouver, Canada for that city’s annual maritime festival prior to spending the July 4th holiday in San Francisco.
