Together, they participated in six monthly workshops that covered various aspects of U.S. nuclear weapons policy. Sessions focused on the Nuclear Posture Reviews, deterrence and stability, nuclear modernization and arms control, nonprolif- eration and nuclear security, and nuclear targeting. The program culminated in a final meeting, at which the scholars presented their own research, the results of which are contained in this year’s journal. The Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) is deeply appreciative of the authors’ out- standing work as well as the contributions of many others. Special thanks are due to Clark Murdock, Douglas Shaw, Richard Wagner, and Amy Woolf, who provided feed- back at the last session, as well as Kelley Saylor and the CSIS publications team for their help in editing and formatting the articles. We would also like to recognize the other members of the 2012 class who were unable to contribute an article to this journal but provided valuable contributions to meeting discussions: Maggie Sadowska and Zachary Thompson. PONI would also like to thank Frank Miller, George Perkovich, and Walt Slocombe, who, along with PONI director Clark Murdock, each committed a substantial amount of their time to organizing and chairing one of the monthly meetings. Linton Brooks deserves special recognition for helping to organize and chair a number of the meetings and for sharing his invaluable knowledge throughout the program. Each year, the Nucle- ar Scholars Initiative depends entirely on the involvement of experts willing to take time out of their extraordinarily busy schedules. This year’s class is extremely grateful to Paul Bernstein, Elaine Bunn, Donald Cook, John Harvey, David Hoffman, Laura Holgate, Edward Ifft, Tim Morrison, Steven Pifer, Brad Roberts, Gary Samore, Thomas Scheber, Andrew Semmel, Baker Spring, and Richard Wagner for speaking to the group. Last but not least, we would like to thank our partners at the Defense Threat Reduc- tion Agency and the National Nuclear Security Administration for making this project possible through their consistent support. John K. Warden Project on Nuclear Issues | v Examining the Broader Implications of the Ballistic Missile Industry’s Influence on Soviet and Russian Decisionmaking Michael G. Albertson1 This paper compares the influence of the ballistic missile industry on Soviet and post-Soviet Russian decisionmaking regarding the country’s strategic nuclear forces. This comparison is conducted in an effort to determine the broader politi- cal, economic, and international implications of this relationship for the Kremlin and for the United States. Using the bureaucratic politics model outlined by Gra- ham Allison in Essence of Decision, the paper examines declassified intelligence reporting from the Cold War, interviews with former Kremlin officials just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and analyses of current Russian force decisions by outside experts. In 1995, a widely circulated report titled “Soviet Intentions 1965–1985” summarized a series of interviews with high-ranking Soviet defense officials, including Soviet military analysts, military-technical specialists, industrial managers, General Staff officers, and military and political staff members.2 This report was noteworthy because it was one of the first glimpses of what had been occurring within the Kremlin regarding Soviet nucle- ar decisionmaking during the Cold War. One of the key unforeseen findings of this study was the key role of the Soviet defense industry, in particular ballistic missile design bureaus, in driving the development and production of missile systems during the later stages of the Cold War. The report highlighted that “the volume of arms production in the USSR was conditioned by the internal dynamics and logic of the vast, civilian-dom- inated defense-industrial establishment.”3 The central question for this paper is whether a similar dynamic is now occurring—namely, that the Russian ballistic missile industry 1.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

These dire times confronted officers of Southern origin in the country's military service with an agonizing decision whether to remain under the "Old Flag" or leave and follow their section. Local, state and family ties ran very deep. Men of the highest principles from young midshipmen at the Naval Academy to the most senior officers who had devoted their lives to the Navy---Raphael Semmes, Josiah Tarnall, Matthew Fontaine Maury, for example, resigned their commissions to cast their lot with the Confederacy. In this unique and interesting study, Dr. William S. Dudley of the Naval Historical Center has examined in depth how President Lincoln, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, and the Navy Department reacted to and handled the almost 400 Navy and Marine Corps officers who resigned to "Go South." The author has included a comprehensive appendix listing the name of each officer by rank.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.

  • Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015
    Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The service of the soldiers and sailors listed here has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. This may be the largest repository of API servicemen in existence, but it is not comprehensive. There are likely more who have been discovered by other researchers, and still others whose stories have yet to be recovered. Note on the term “Sandwich Islands:” In January 1778, sailing from Tahiti to North America while searching for the Northwest Passage, British vessels commanded by Capt. James Cook bumped into the Hawaiian Islands. Cook had his mapmakers label the place “Sandwich Islands” to honor Britain’s Earl of Sandwich, first lord of the admiralty. British maps spread the Sandwich Islands name widely in Europe and eventually America. Kamehameha I, who united the islands in 1795, rejected the British name. From the first written constitution in 1840, the name used was Hawaiian Islands. The same year, a government newspaper editorially proclaimed in an article entitled, “Hawaii versus Sandwich Islands,” that the citizens have ever used ‘Hawaii nei’ as applicable to the islands. Although the Hawaiian Islands government never overtly used “Sandwich,” it would respond to foreign governments’ use of it. Hawaiian citizens entering the United States, some of whom would fight in the US Civil War, traveled on Hawaiian Island, not Sandwich Island, passports. The Hawaiian names of each island were spelled irregularly by speakers of English, French, Spanish, or Russian

  • The Battle of the Straits of Shimonoséki July 16, 1863
    http://www.navyandmarine.org/ondeck/1863shimonoseki.htm The Battle of the Straits of Shimonoséki July 16, 1863 Almost two weeks after Lee retreated from Gettysburg and the Stars & Stripes went up over Vicksburg, “Abe Lincoln’s Navy” was involved in an episode on the other side of the globe. U.S.S. Wyoming and Jamestown were cruising the Pacific protecting American interests and keeping an eye out for the commerce raider C.S.S. Alabama. Near the end of her time on station, the Wyoming was suddenly called into action against anti-foreign elements that were disrupting the government of Japan. While the military dictator of Japan, the Tokugawa Shogun Iesada, favored opening the realm to trade with the rest of the world, a considerable number of feudal lords energetically opposed this. They demanded an end to Shogunal rule and a return of power to the emperor, with the expulsion of all foreigners – while advocating the creation of a modern military that would allow them to expand the empire. To punctuate their hostility to the Shogun, the anti-government elements launched a campaign of terror. Murder and arson were commonplace in Tokyo. During one of the many disturbances, the U.S. Consulate was burned to the ground, forcing the Consul, Robert Pruyn, to remove to Yokohama. With American citizens and interests at risk, the U.S.S. Wyoming, under Commander David McDougal, was ordered in May 1863 from Hong Kong to Japan. The situation went from bad to worse when an edict from the imperial house was issued ordering all foreigners to be swept out of Japan.
