Breckenridge Deputy Director, Submarine Warfare Division (N87B) ENTRÉE: Roast Beef – Family Style MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT Friends, a lot of water has been flowing under the keel since last we met in May. As you can see from the masthead, our good friend, CAPT Mike Husak, USCG, has moved on and in his place as our Active Services Liaison, I’m pleased to welcome CDR David J. Palazzetti, USCG, who has recently come aboard as Mike’s replacement. With that, we’d like to offer a hearty “hail” to David and an equally hearty “farewell” to Mike. While on the subject of our masthead, we have some major changes to our Board of Governors for the 2011-12 season. I am hopeful that the full Board will all be present at the head table when we meet for our coming October meeting. However, I shall call your attention to the new board members, who are: 1 Treasurer - CAPT Randall D. Preston, USN (Ret) Member-at-Large – CAPT Richard D. Brown, USMCR (Ret) Assistant Secretary – CAPT Mary Jo Majors, NC, USNR (Ret) Assistant Treasurer – COL Charles L. Hyland, USAF (Ret) We welcome these new “recruits” to the Board of Governors, who have each already proven themselves to be hard-working members of the Wardroom Club. They will join the Board’s “old-timers” who will remain with us for the coming season. As you will see in our “Taps” column below, we have lost a significant number of members since May. While this is the “life cycle” that we must constantly face, it is not an easy thing to endure so many losses within a short period of only five months. For our first meeting of the new season on which we are about to enter, the Board is pleased to bring you RADM Richard P. Breckenridge, USN, who is a native of Marshfield, Massachusetts. It is anticipated that ADM Breckenridge will be bringing us an update to the Submarine Warfare program. His bio is inserted with this edition of your October newsletter. While the Board is building an impressive array of guest speakers for the coming season, we do have a gap or two in the scheduled speaker program. Therefore, if you have anyone who you believe might have a presentation that will be of interest to the club membership, please do not hesitate to contact me at the earliest possible moment - - - We’ll try to accommodate the potential speaker within the schedule for 2011-2012. Robert J. Zemaitis, President 101 Pleasant Street Leicester, MA 01524-1417 E-Mail: [email protected] 508/892-3055 NOTES FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT THE NOMINATION PROCESS FOR PROSPECTIVE NEW MEMBERS: I am again pleased to report that the Wardroom Club website continues to present a full description of the required process for nominating prospective members to the club. For a quick review, the first chore in making a nomination is to become familiar with Article V of the Wardroom Club By-Laws regarding eligibility for the various classes of membership. For the sponsor's information, a candidate will be eligible for Regular Membership if he or she has, at some time in their life, “been entitled to wardroom privileges in the United States Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Merchant Marine or any foreign navy by virtue of being a commissioned officer in either the United States Navy, Marine Corps or the Coast Guard - - - or one who has been a licensed officer in the United States Merchant Marine.” Candidates who do not meet any of these requirements must be nominated for a limited number of Associate Member slots. (Active Service membership, which is unlimited, is controlled by the Active Service Liaison on the Board of Governors, CDR David Palazzetti, USCG. Please send your e-mail message traffic to: [email protected]) Please also note that the Associate Membership is very much limited and currently, that limit has presently been reached. This means that for the time being, 2 incoming applications in the Associate Member category will be placed on a temporary wait-list, where the names will remain on a first come – first serve basis, in the order with which the applications will have been received. Sponsors proposing members in the Associate Member category will be notified by the V.P. when an opening becomes available for their candidate. Nominations for the Regular and Associate Membership within the Class of 2012 must be received by the Vice President prior to December 31, 2011. There will be no exceptions to this deadline. The required forms and instructions can be downloaded from www.wardroomclub.org. Again, please note that applications for Active Duty Members must be submitted through CDR David Palazzetti, USCG, at any time throughout the club season. I thought you might be interested in knowing that much of my time this past summer has been focused on the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in significant damage to the Fukushima Diiachi Nuclear Power Facility. This has required my firm’s expertise and as a result, my time has largely been spent in Japan, these past several months. So while you were enjoying another great New England summer, I was still being treated to earthquake aftershocks in Japan. As a result, I can assure you that I look forward to joining each of you this coming October meeting. Robert D. Holland, Vice-President 8 Raymond Avenue Shrewsbury, MA 01545 E-Mail: [email protected] Home Phone: 508/842-0575 Cell Phone: 901/240-3008 Daytime Phone: 617/589-1256 CLUB NOTES NOTABLE OCTOBER DATES AND EVENTS – (By Past President CAPT Harry H. Weinberg, SC, USN - Ret) For those of us in the Boston area as well as in the Maritime Services, we celebrate two significant birthdays. First, on 13 October there is the Birthday of the American Navy. Secondly, on 21 October we celebrate the launching of USS Constitution. The beginning of our Navy as a defender of the Republic can be traced to the infamous “XYZ Affair” which had lead to the Quasi War with France in 1797. If there was any doubt about the need for a Navy, this incident removed it all. Our next Naval war to follow began with

  • The Epic Saga of Commodore David Porter
    None So Daring copyright 2007 The Epic Saga of Commodore David Porter by Robert Porter Lynch CONTENTS SYNOPSIS 2 THEMES 3 APPEAL 3 BOOKS & MOVIES 3 STORY BOARD 4 Page 1 None So Daring copyright 2005 By Robert Porter Lynch Contact Information: Email: [email protected] Cell Phone: 401-640-1166 SYNOPSIS None So Daring is the epic saga of one of America’s most dashing heroes. Set between 1790 and 1830, it is the true story of the swashbuckling, visionary, powerful and often volatile Commodore David Porter. Each episode is based on historical evidence. Virtually forgotten to history, this story resurrects, with carefully researched accuracy, the remarkable and fascinating story of a man whose dramatic storybook career is virtually unparalleled in U.S. history for excitement, adventure, romance, and intrigue. Dashing, bold in every stroke, visionary, but hot-headed and impetuous, Commodore Porter’s naval adventures included fighting Arab terrorists in the Mediterranean and clashing with Caribbean pirates like Jean Laffite. Later, his escapades in the War of 1812 in the Pacific struck into the heart of the British Admiralty, triggering their wrath. During this Pacific odyssey, the touching adventures on the voyage of his young adopted son, David Glasgow Farragut, whose will lift the hearts of young and old alike. Porter’s role in bottling up the British fleet after their attack on Washington probably turned the tide of the War of 1812, preserving this nation’s liberty. His passionate and tempestuous love affair with Evalina, a Congressman’s daughter, brought him love, obsession, betrayal, and tragedy. Evalina was a real life Scarlett O’Hara.

  • WWII Gray Zone Warrior
    ‘GRAY ZONE’ WARRIOR FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT In 2014, Russia’s invasion of the Crimea was famously characterized by “little green men'” taking control of key Ukrainian infrastructure, disrupting Ukrainian communications, and in some cases trying to get Ukrainian troops to switch to Russian allegiance. In the South China Sea, China has been accused of claiming sections of international waters as extensions of its own territory and occupying and fortifying uninhabited islands as it would sovereign territory. Both nations engage in a process known as “salami slicing,” gradually pushing the limits of the boundary between war and peace to achieve potentially warlike national objectives short of conducting actual hostilities. These examples constitute ‘gray zone warfare,’ defined by a 2015 U.S. Special Operations Command White Paper as “competitive interactions among and within state and non-state actors that fall between the traditional war and peace duality.” While analysts tend to view gray zone warfare as a modern innovation, a departure from an older and more traditional form of waging war, it was in fact readily familiar to previous generations. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was an active and enthusiastic practitioner of the art of gray zone warfare in the period just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, when the United States was not yet officially a belligerent in World War II. Roosevelt used the Navy, Marines, and the Coast Guard to drive German naval forces from the western Atlantic Ocean, secure the overseas possessions of Allied nations conquered or menaced by the Nazi regime, and provide material aid to the Allied cause.

  • Veterans and the Military on Stamps
    Publication 528 July 2003 ©2003 U.S. Postal Service® All rights reserved Produced by Diversity Development For more information, please visit www.usps.com VETERANS AND THE MILITARY ON STAMPS Sending a powerful message requires a powerful tool. The mail is one of the most powerful — and easily accessible — communication tools available today. A single postage stamp is the only investment you need. Since the United States Postal Service® started to issue stamps more than 150 years ago, just about every one of them has also carried a message about our shared heritage and the people and events that have helped build our great nation. Over the years, many stamps have commemorated veterans and accomplishments by our military, from colonial days to the present. In fact, the first two stamps issued by the Postal Service™ in 1847 honored two military veterans, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. (Washington’s service is well known, of course, and Franklin was a veteran of the Pennsylvania militia.) This publication presents more than a hundred military veterans and events from the 20th century. During this century, the United States defended the freedom of people around the world. Also during this century, American citizen-soldiers embarked to many foreign countries where they strove and sacrificed to replace tyranny with liberty. Some of the stamp images displayed here honor the military veterans who have played their part in the unfolding and unending story of defending freedom and democracy. Some images honor the various services — the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps. Others depict famous battles — Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and Iwo Jima.
