  • A Ship Named Turner
    I A SHIP NAMED TURNER • A biography of the life of one ship of the U.S.Navy during one brief period of World War II. Some is from memory, much is derived from pages of the complete Deck Log of Turner 648 I obtained from the Naval Archives. One part is from an average of three sources of information. Mainly, it tells the story of the ship as I saw it, a member of the crew for fifteen days prior to commissioning, and during the two hundred and sixty-four days of its life. David L. Merrill May 2000 A SHIP NAMED TURNER This is the story of one ship which existed as part of the United States Navy for eight months and eighteen days. It was an insignificant ship, as ships went in the war years of 1941-1945, but it was a ship, a commissioned ship assigned to a specific duty. It performed this duty well, with diligence but without special accommodation or reward. It was fitted with a crew which, at time of commissioning, consisted of seventy-five percent of the enlisted men serving on their first ship. It had fourteen officers, eight of whom were doing their first tour at sea. Yet, it was a splendid ship as far as "togetherness" went. Loyalty could not have been better, ambition to do the right thing at the right time could not have been better, thoughtfulness for one another was outstanding. Yes, this is the story of one insignificant ship that plowed back and forth between the ports of monotony and tedium performing a task needing to be performed but which offered no reward for services well done.

DEDICATION For my Great Aunt Vida, an artist and teacher, who was the star of her own story in an age when women were supporting characters. She was tough and kind, stingy and giving in equal measures. Vida Esta gave herself a middle name, because she could and always wanted one. Ms. Light was my first superheroine and she didn’t need super powers. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Three years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea for research that was daunting. This thesis is the beginning of bringing that idea to life. So many people helped me along the way.

  • Holding out for a Hero(Ine): an Examination of the Presentation and Treatment of Female Superheroes in Marvel Movies Robyn Joffe
    Holding Out for a Hero(ine): An Examination of the Presentation and Treatment of Female Superheroes in Marvel Movies Robyn Joffe Abstract Prior to the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and Captain Marvel (2019), the way that female characters from the Marvel Comics’ canon were realized onscreen was problematic for several reasons and encumbered by issues rooted in the strong female character trope and its postfeminist origins. A close examination of three Marvel superheroines—Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Mystique—reveals that while they initially appear to be positioned as equal to their male teammates, they are consistently burdened with difficulties and challenges that men never have to face. The filmmakers’ focus on these women’s appearance and sex appeal, their double standard for violent women, and their perception of a woman’s role, create a picture of “strong” women that is questionable at best and damaging at worst. Keywords: Marvel, postfeminism, sexualization, infantilization, maternalism Introduction The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a media franchise and shared universe, owned by Marvel Studios and currently consists of twenty feature films, seven television series, one digital series, assorted direct-to-video short films, tie-in comic books, and other mixed media products. It is a shared universe that is actively expanding as more and more properties are slated for release. The X-Men film series, until recently owned by 20th Century Fox, is one of the interconnecting series of films based on specific characters from Marvel Comics. It currently consists of eleven films and two television series, with more to be released this year.

    Members of the USNA Class of 1963 Who Served in the Vietnam War. Compiled by Stephen Coester '63 Supplement to the List of Over Three Hundred Classmates Who Served in Vietnam 1 Phil Adams I was on the USS Boston, Guided Missile Cruiser patrolling the Vietnam Coast in '67, and we got hit above the water line in the bow by a sidewinder missile by our own Air Force. ------------------- Ross Anderson [From Ross’s Deceased Data, USNA63.org]: Upon graduation from the Academy on 5 June 1963, Ross reported for flight training at Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) which he completed at the top of his flight class (and often "Student of the Month") in 1964. He then left for his first Southeast Asia Cruise to begin conducting combat missions in Vietnam. Landing on his newly assigned carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) at midnight, by 5 am that morning he was off on his first combat mission. That squadron, VF-154 (the Black Knights) had already lost half of its cadre of pilots. Ross' flying buddy Don Camp describes how Ross would seek out flying opportunities: Upon our return on Oct 31, 1965 to NAS Miramar, the squadron transitioned from the F-8D (Crusader) to the F4B (Phantom II). We left on a second combat cruise and returned about Jan 1967. In March or April of 1967, Ross got himself assigned TAD [temporary additional duty] to NAS North Island as a maintenance test pilot. I found out and jumped on that deal. We flew most all versions of the F8 and the F4 as they came out of overhaul.
