Rasmussen on reports that the individual has not actively participated in the committee. Please do not be offended if you have been removed from a committee assignment. We want to try to accommodate everyone who wants to actively participate. We are going to try something new next year. Since a number of committees schedule meetings during the Bar Convention, we thought it would make more sense to get committee appointments done before the Bar Convention so new committee members would have an opportunity to participate in meetings held during the Bar Convention. Therefore, the committee preference forms will be available shortly after the first of the year. If you are interested in serving on a committee next s usual, there is a lot going on with the year, please let us know because we will be making State Bar. The committee assignments appointments before next year’s Bar Convention. are set forth in the Newsletter.

  • Spring 2016 ● Vol
    2016 Spring Edition The Newport Commandery is proud to announce that on 5 March 2016, Naval War College historian and professor John B. Hattendorf was awarded a Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree from the University of Oxford, England. The degree is considered above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). It is issued on the basis of high achievement in the respective field or a long record of research and publication to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. The Naval Order has been invited to honor our Historian General, Professor John Hattendorf, on his impending retirement from the Naval War College by subscribing to a book Strategy and the Sea published by Boydell & Brewer. For those of us who are new to the publishing world’s terminology, the word “festschrift” is a volume of learned articles and essays contributed to an edited work by the colleagues and admirers of a scholar, generally as a tribute upon retirement. A “tabula gratulatoria” is a page in that volume that contains the names of people who have contributed either by writing a chapter of the volume, or by helping fund the effort. Each commandery can have its name printed in the tabula by subscribing to the book. Individuals in the commandery can also have their names printed by purchasing their own copy of the book. This book would make a lovely gift for speakers or commandery raffles. John B. Hattendorf is the Ernest J.

  • 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.

Warley who went South in December 1860. • Introduction • Acknowledgements • Going South • Table I: USN Officer Resignation and Dismissals April 1861 by Days • Table II: USN Officer Resignations and Dismissals 1860 - 1861 by Months • Table III: Proportion of Officers "Going South" • Footnotes • Appendix: Data on Officers Resigning, Accepted and Dismissed --i--- Library of Congress Catalogue No. 81-85072. --ii--- Introduction While still less than a hundred years old in 1861, the nation stood on the brink of catastrophic civil war as states in the lower south followed South Carolina in seceding from the Union. 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.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Updated October 29, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. Section 1749 of the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (S. 1790/P.L. 116-92 of December 20, 2019) prohibits the Secretary of Defense, in naming a new ship (or other asset) or renaming an existing ship (or other asset), from giving the asset a name that refers to, or includes a term referring to, the Confederate States of America, including any name referring to a person who served or held leadership within the Confederacy, or a Confederate battlefield victory. The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.

  • 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.
