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. All errors and omissions are solely those of the author.

Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 283 – MAY 2018 Editorial NWS Members in Europe will have probably heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which aims to strengthen data protection for people in the EU. The NWS is subject to the law and we are looking at what the change means exactly. I hold Members email addresses and would never pass details on without the prior, explicit consent of any Member. Your email address will continue to be held for the purpose of distributing “All Guns Blazing”, items of interest to Members and “Battlefleet”. A reminder to all to let Simon and I know if you change your email address so that we do not lose touch. Somewhere in the world the sun is over the yardarm. Norman Bell Good news from Dave Sharp. I can now confirm that the UK Naval Wargames Weekend will take place at the Fleet Air Arm Museum Yeovilton on the 30th June and 1st July. As last year we will need to charge members attending to cover costs. This will be £5 for one day, £7.50 for both as last year. Attendees will be able to access the museum without charge (normally £13 if booked online). Please could you let me know if you are able to put on a game. Please give an indication of the theme and the number of tables you will require. The space available is ample but I will need to ensure enough tables are provided. [email protected] Many thanks, Dave My understanding is that the function room is a large room beside the restaurant, in front of the museum. -

Sehr Geehrte Freunde Der Philatelie! Es War Eine Menge Arbeit, Aber Nun Ist Er Fertig: Der Katalog Zur 71
Sehr geehrte Freunde der Philatelie! Es war eine Menge Arbeit, aber nun ist er fertig: Der Katalog zur 71. Auktion am 21.Au- gust 2004. Ich habe es nicht gezählt, aber es stecken in diesem Katalog sicherlich weit über tausend Arbeitsstunden. Und ich glaube, die viele Arbeit hat sich gelohnt. Der vorliegende Katalog beschreibt fast genau 10.000 Lose, von denen fast 3500 auch abgebildet wurden. Dabei gibt es mehrere Schwerpunkte: Vielleicht am interessantesten ist die Auflösung einer der schönsten Sammlungen Deut- sche Feldpost im II. Weltkrieg. Dabei sind u.a. Rhodos 8A gest. (Ausruf 1350), 8A (*) (Ausruf 2000); Kreta 7B auf Brief (Ausruf 7500), Hela 13b a. BS, Krim 15I a. BS (800), Kurland-Schnellbrief, mehrere Belege Ostpreussen-Feldpost, Funknach- richtenkarten von Milos, Dünkirchen, St. Nazaire, Kreta, La Rochelle, Festungs- post von Breslau, Frankfurt/Oder, Lorient, St. Nazaire, Royan, zahlreiche Belege aus Stalingrad. Ein Auktionsprogramm, das nicht nur zahlreiche Raritäten enthält, son- dern auch zeitgeschichtlich äußerst wertvoll ist! Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die Deutschen Kolonien und Auslandspostämter. Wir konnten wieder ein umfangreiches Angebot an Stempeln und Briefen zusammenstel- len, im Markenteil sind neben praktisch sämtlichen Standardwerten u.a. sämtliche amtlich verausgabten China-Handstempel (von 3 bis 80 Pf.) dabei, Karolinen 1/6I kpl., Ma- rianen 2/6I und Marshall-Inseln 1/6IU **, 1Ia und 1Ib a. oder die enorm seltene 7b auf . Kenner wissen, daß diese Marke seltener als eine 1I ist — nur bis zur Michelre- daktion ist dieses Wissen leider bis heute nicht durchgekommen. Gut 110 Seepost- und Marineschiffspostbelege ergänzen dieses Sammelgebiet sehr schön. Altdeutschland bietet diesmal Schwerpunkte bei Bayern, Württemberg und Hannover. -
