Stafford Praise for the Previous Edition “Her admirers will be grateful to Commander Stafford NEW PUBLICATIONS for preserving so much of her so well.” — New York Times “The unbelievable career of the bravest and most effective warship America ever built, excitingly recorded.” — Life “An action-packed drama of living men in a ship with a soul.” — San Francisco Examiner “After reading Commander Stafford’s lovingly detailed saga, you may well wonder: Why didn’t they preserve the Big E for posterity, just as they did Old Ironsides.” — Arizona Republic A lasting tribute to the USS Enterprise—the Big E —this heavily illustrated, new edition tells the classic tale of the carrier that contributed more than any other warship to the naval victory in the Pacific. The original book, published in 1962, has remained one of the most celebrated World War II stories for more than four decades.

The Halsey-Doolittle Raid; the Battles of Midway, Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf; and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa are all faithfully recorded from the viewpoint of the men who served her so well. This superb study of a great ship, her crew, and the action they saw has been called one of the finest pieces of naval writing to emerge from the war. Author Edward Stafford mined genuine nuggets from the mountain of research and lengthy interviews he conducted to write this book. He answers questions such as: What was it like to be inside the cockpit of a Dauntless dive bomber as it bored in on its target or what kind effort was required to unstick the ship’s huge rudder when it was damaged by a bomb? Literate and scholarly as well as highly dramatic, the book will appeal to historians and the general public alike. CDR. EDWARD PEARY STAFFORD, USN (RET.) (1918–2013) was a naval aviator. He wrote for Naval History and Proceedings, as well as for National Geographic. He is best known for The Big E and four other books on naval history: Subchaser; Little Ship, Big War; The Saga of DE-343, and The Far and the Deep.

Michael Wenger, Robert J. Cressman, and John F. Di Virgilio “No One Avoided Danger” is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay, one of two naval air stations on the island of O‘ahu NEW PUBLICATIONS in Hawaii. Partly because of Kaneohe’s location—15 air miles over a mountain range from the main site of that day’s infamous attack on Pearl Harbor—military historians have largely ignored the station’s story. Moreover, there is an understandable tendency to focus on the massive destruc- tion sustained by the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay, however, were equally destructive and no less disastrous, notwithstanding the station’s considerable distance from the harbor. The work focuses on descriptions of actions in the air and on the ground at the deepest practical, personal, and tactical level, from both the American and Japanese perspectives. Such a synthesis is possible only by pursuing every con- ceivable source of American documents, reminiscences, interviews, and photographs. Similarly, the authors sought out Japanese accounts and photography from the attacks, many appearing in print for the first time. Information from the Japanese air group and aircraft carrier action reports has never before been used. 7 DECEMBER 2015 | 188 pp. | 8½” x 10 ⁄8” | History • World War II On the American side, the authors also have researched 213 b/w photos the Official Military Personnel Files at the National Hardcover: $34.95 | ISBN: 978-1-61251-924-1 Personnel Records Center and National Archives in St. Louis, Missouri, extracting service photographs and details of the military careers of American officers and men. The authors are among the first historians to be allowed access to previously unused service records. The authors likewise delved into the background and personalities of key Japanese participants, and have translated and incorporated the Japanese aircrew rosters from the attack. This accumulation of data and information makes possible an intricate and highly integrated story that is unparalleled.

    Gundalow Company Volunteer Manual Updated Jan 2018 Protecting the Piscataqua Region’s Maritime Heritage and Environment through Education and Action Table of Contents Welcome Organizational Overview General Orientation The Role of Volunteers Volunteer Expectations Operations on the Gundalow Workplace Safety Youth Programs Appendix Welcome aboard! On a rainy day in June, 1982, the replica gundalow CAPTAIN EDWARD H. ADAMS was launched into the Piscataqua River while several hundred people lined the banks to watch this historic event. It took an impressive community effort to build the 70' replica on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum, with a group of dedicated shipwrights and volunteers led by local legendary boat builder Bud McIntosh. This event celebrated the hundreds of cargo-carrying gundalows built in the Piscataqua Region starting in 1650. At the same time, it celebrated the 20th-century creation of a unique teaching platform that travelled to Piscataqua region riverfront towns carrying a message that raised awareness of this region's maritime heritage and the environmental threats to our rivers. For just over 25 years, the ADAMS was used as a dock-side attraction so people could learn about the role of gundalows in this region’s economic development as well as hundreds of years of human impact on the estuary. When the Gundalow Company inherited the ADAMS from Strawbery Banke Museum in 2002, the opportunity to build a new gundalow that could sail with students and the public became a priority, and for the next decade, we continued the programs ion the ADAMS while pursuing the vision to build a gundalow that could be more than a dock-side attraction.

  • The Walnut Street Jail 
    The Walnut Street Jail The Walnut Street Jail: A Penal Reform to Centralize The Powers of the State Paul Takagi There is something unkindly about the American prison. There is something corroding about it. It tends to harden all that comes within the fold of its shadow. It takes kindly, well-intentioned people and makes them callous (Tannenbaum, 933: 3). HESE ARE THE BEGINNING SENTENCES IN THE BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS MOtt Osborne, who was appointed warden of Sing Sing prison on December 1, 94. Osborne was indicted twice, acquitted, once on an appeal, and sud- Tdenly resigned from his post less than two years after his appointment. He became the eighth person to leave the office of warden of Sing Sing within a span of 12 years. Osborne briefly headed the Portsmouth Naval Prison before terminating his career as a prison administrator in 1920. He spent the short remaining years of his life disillusioned and discontented. In 1922, he wrote: “It makes one rather unhappy to realize the years are passing, while I could be doing wonderful work in prisons if I were only permitted to do so....” By 1924, he was in deep despair: “I have seen (my) work, so patiently built up, destroyed; sometimes brutally in a day, sometimes by long undermining, until there is now but little left. And I am condemned to heart breaking idleness, realizing what I can do to benefit mankind, and not permitted to do it. It often surprises me that I have faith in any one; and I haven’t much....” (Ibid.: 287).

A log boom defense was placed in the river between the two forts. The fort was garrisoned by 180 men under the command of Captain Titus Salter from 1775-78. The garrison was also responsible for the security of the powder magazine in Portsmouth. The fort was designed by Captain Ezekiel Worthen, who also designed Fort Sullivan and the Clark's Point (Shaw’s Hill) Redoubt on New Castle Island, and who, with the rank of Major, later replaced General Sullivan as the overall commander of the Portsmouth harbor defenses. Peirce's Island was renamed "Isle of Washington" in 1776, in honor of General George Washington, who was then commander of the Army of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the siege of Boston. The fort was repaired and regarrisoned in 1814-15 during the War of 1812 when British warships blockaded the New England coast. The fort was in ruins by 1850, and was probably not used at all during the Civil War.

  • Defence Disposals in the UK Contrasted with Sustainable Redevelopment in Four US East Coast Navy Yards
    Defence Sites 243 Learning from experience: defence disposals in the UK contrasted with sustainable redevelopment in four US east coast navy yards C. M. Clark Wessex Institute of Technology, UK Abstract Modern war is now conducted remotely – via unmanned military drones, robots and chemical weapons; troops can be moved into battle rapidly from advanced positions. These developments in attack and defence technology render many facilities in fixed positions – navy bases, garrisons, forts, airbases, training grounds – increasingly redundant. Many governments are disposing of these surplus defence sites, some of them historic, but the processes and the outcomes vary enormously from country to country. In the UK large swathes of defence land are earmarked for sale in the near future; the Ministry of Defence is under increasing pressure to rationalise its holdings and save public money. The United States Government is considering selling off many more of its publicly owned assets in the face of prolonged recession. Although the closure of military sites is happening all over the world, transfers of learning from the accumulating experience of post-defence reconstruction, both within and between countries has at best been sporadic. This conference is one of the first to examine the complex and particular challenges to land reuse thrown up by reductions in defence budgets. Planned disposals offer a unique opportunity to provide long-term benefits to local communities whose economies are affected by losses of defence related employment, but they do not always result in such outcomes. Examples of good practice in this paper are drawn from post defence experience in navy bases on the east coast of America, complementing the paper on Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Jl y H. Sm ·: EHA x, P assed Assistant Surgeon, United States Navy. P eru sa 1 of the statistical tables presented in the annual reports of the Surgeon Generals of the Army and Navy makes it immediately npparent, that as a cause of nonefficiency and disability in the serv­ ices, mental and the so-called nervous diseases are far from a negligi­ ble factor. In most cases they represent the total loss of the indi­ vidual, and often a prolonged and therefore large expense to the Government for maintenance and transportation. In addition there is the loss of the money expended in his training, and even the possi­ bility of claim for a pension. Therefore it seems that more decisive measnres should be taken to safeguard our military forces from the entrance into them of those mentally unfit, and this term is quite comprehensive. In the Army during the year 1913 the discharge rate for mental diseases, as is shown below, ·was higher than that for nny other cause. N umber D isease. of cases. Rate.
