  • Naval Energy Forum Washington, DC, October 14, 2011 “Our Past Is
    Naval Energy Forum Washington, DC, October 14, 2011 “Our Past Is Prologue” A lecture by James D. Hornfischer, author of Neptune’s Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal (Bantam Books, 2011) In the age of sail, before the days of mineral- burning warships, our ships of the line moved with the wind, unconstrained by the scarcity of consumables beyond those required by their crews to subsist. A hundred years later, in the nuclear age, our naval leaders enjoyed similar freedom from time to time, driving ships powered by the near-limitless capacity of nuclear propulsion. In between, however, was another era entirely. World War II, as increasingly again now, was a time when all naval commanders had to reckon with the 1 restrictions imposed by the scarcity of fuel, both in supply and in transport. The operating radius of their ships, and their time on station, were thus constrained. “If an enemy lay beyond that radius, the fleet might as well be chained to a post,” a maritime historian has written. During the Guadalcanal campaign, from August to November 1942, scarcity of fuel was a factor in every type of operation. In the skies, our fighter pilots fought air-to-air, above and around their own base, giving them a tactical advantage over the Japanese, who were fighting at the outer limit of their range. On the ground, our Marines needed fuel for their vehicles, and, occasionally, chemical recreation. They discovered that torpedo fuel, transported and stored in convenient five-gallon cans, could be mixed with papayas, limes and fruit juice.

REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Shaye A. Roscoe James Queen 203-924-7462 203-924-7462 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Boys & Girls Club Celebrating Success of Past Member Harold “Butch” Gibbs Shelton, CT, March 10, 2016 – As part of our year-long 60th anniversary celebration, the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley will be recognizing the life of someone who has been positively affected by our Boys & Girls Club on a regular basis throughout the year. For the month of March we recognize Senior Chief Navy Counselor, Harold “Butch” Gibbs. Butch grew up in Shelton and at a young age was a very active member of his Boys & Girls Club. Gibbs was most involved in the Keystone Club from 1986-1991, the Boys & Girls Club’s most dynamic teen program aimed at providing awareness and impact in the areas of community service, career preparation, and teen outreach. Butch served as President of the Keystone Club for four years. During that time he attended nine regional and national conferences, served on five steering committees, and was a Co-Chairman for the Northeast Regional Conference. His outstanding commitment to The Club and community earned him the title of 1989 Junior Boy of the Year, 1991 Boy of the Year and in 2011 was inducted into the LNV Alumni Hall of Fame. In 1993 Gibbs joined the United States Navy. After recruit training camp in Great Lakes, IL, he reported to the USS Aubrey Fitch in December of 1993, where he completed four years of service. From 1997-2001 Senior Chief Gibbs worked on shore duty at the Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, CT.
