    United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922

    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. 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.

Emerson: War Powers Legislation War Powers Legislation J. TERRY EMERSON* I. INTRODUCTION The Ninety-Second Congress has been marked by the unusual drama of a vigorous and persistent effort by the Legislative Branch to confront the President, eyeball to eyeball, over the primary issues of war and peace. Nowhere has the contest been joined in a more fundamental way, reaching to the very core of the division of powers between the two political branches, than in the bold thrust by several senators to codify the rules governing the circumstances in which the United States may go to and remain in war.' No less than 19 senators have introduced or cosponsored one of five different bills or joint resolutions seeking to define the instances when the President may use or deploy the Armed Forces of the United States.' Taken singly or severally, these measures purport to demark the sole conditions under which the President can initiate military hostilities and to restrict his authority to continue any such hostility beyond a brief period unless and until he has obtained a new and specific authorization from Congress.4 * A.B.

    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.

    The Maritime Aspects of the 1917 Halifax Explosion Joseph Scanlon

    Source of Threat and Source of Assistance: The Maritime Aspects of the 1917 Halifax Explosion Joseph Scanlon The 1917 Halifax explosion is usually thought of as an event that devastated the cities of Halifax and Dartmouth. It is true that most of the 1963 dead and 9000 injured were civilians - the largest single group of dead were Roman Catholics and/or housewives - and the greatest damage was to private homes in the Halifax's North End. But the explosion resulted from a fire caused by a collision between a Norwegian and a French ship. It damaged or destroyed four British merchant ships - Calonne, Curaca, Middleham Castle and Picton - and a Norwegian vessel (Hovland). It caused substantial damage to the British cruiser, High Flyer, a US Coast Guard vessel, Morill; three tugs, Hilford, Stella Maris and Wasper B; and another smaller vessel, Raguse. It also destroyed a schooner, San Bernardo. It left Halifax harbour so badly damaged that convoys were delayed, some incoming traffic was re-routed and the Admiralty changed the rules for North Atlantic shipping. After the explosion, sailors from British, Canadian and American ships in harbour helped in search and rescue, and teamed up with civilians to use boats to transport the injured along the waterfront.1 A US Navy ship, Old Colony, became a floating hospital. In addition, two other USN vessels, Tacoma and Von Steuben, arrived in Halifax five and one-half hours after the explosion. For eight days, they assisted the Canadian Army with security. After reviewing the situation in Halifax harbour prior to the explosion, this article looks at the collision that led to the fire and eventually to the explosion.

    17 July 1919 Nathan Crook Twining

    Nathan Crook Twining 17 January 1869 – 4 July 1924 Captain of Texas 31 December 1918 – 17 July 1919 Nathan Crook Twining was born in the scenic and historic Wisconsin town of Boscobel in 1869. After completing his studies at the Naval Academy in 1889 and his preliminary sea- duty, Twining was commissioned in 1891, serving two years aboard the cruiser USS Chicago, CA14. Chicago was Flagship of the Squadron of Evolution, which was the first organized group of ships of the modern Navy to fly the flag of the United States. From Chicago he next served in USS Kearsarge and then USS Newark. Kearsarge was the aging sloop famous for her sinking of the Confederate raider CSS Alabama at the end of the Civil War. Luckily for Twining, he had already left her before her destruction on a reef off South America in 1894. Aboard Newark, young Twining was able to be a part of the 400th Anniversary celebrations of Columbus’ discovery of the New World, which included naval reviews along the coast of Spain. Newark was America’s first modern cruiser, and so was later designated as C1. After leaving Newark, he next served in USS Concord, PG3, gaining experience and increasing his responsibilities as an up-and-coming naval officer, before hitching a ride on the marine research vessel USS Albatross to return home in 1894. For the next two years, he was stationed on shore at Hartford, Connecticut as Assistant Inspector of Ordnance, where he learned the principles of what would soon become his greatest accomplishment. Before that, however, Twining returned to sea aboard USS Iowa, BB4.

  • William D. Leahy and America's Imperial Years, 1893-1917

    William D. Leahy and America's Imperial Years, 1893-1917

    WILLIAM D. LEAHY AND AMERICA'S IMPERIAL YEARS, 1893-1917. Gerald E. Thomas Srs» SUMMARY This dissertation deals with American imperialism at the turn of the century as seen through the eyes of a young naval officer, William D. Leahy. Other works which have examined these years have dealt with strategic, political, or economic matters, or with famous naval figures of the times. This study, in contrast, focuses on the experiences of William D. Leahy, whose very "averageness" makes his early life an over- looked window through which the events of his day may be examined. During the first two decades of his half-century career, Leahy saw in action the first two of Admiral Mahan's "international principles"--cooperation in the Far East, and dominance in the Caribbean, Central America (and the Philippines). Leahy's experiences help to throw a new light on how American imperialism affected both the victims of America's policies and those who had to carry out those policies. Chapter 1, "The Cutting Edge, " is an introduction to the disser- tation. Chapter 2, "A Typical Naval Cadet," examines Leahy's formative background and his education at the Naval Academy. Chapter 3, "Baptism of Fire," introduces him into the fighting Navy in the battle off Santiago, Cuba during the Spanish American War. Chapter 4, "Shanghai and Amoy, "follows Leahy's participation in the events of the Boxer Rebellion. Chapter 5, "The Philippines and After--Years of Growth" takes Leahy through the Ameri- can conquest of the Philippines. Although the Philippines were technically in the Far East, the basic assumptions of American foreign policy toward dealing with weak, non-white, nations resulted in an American policy of repression and subjugation of popular Filipino forces led by Emilio Aguinaldo, The result was the same as in Latin America--total, if disguised American political and economic hegemony.
