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.

These came to be known as “heavy cruisers” because of their size and later because of their armament. All of these ships were built under limitations resulting from a series of naval treaties, and thus they were also known as “treaty cruisers.” These ships gave valuable service during World War II and saw action in all the major battles in the Pacific. A separate volume will cover the heavy cruisers built during and after the war that saw service not only in 1941–45, but also later in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.

  • Kingsmill's Cruisers: the Cruiser Tradition in the Early Royal Canadian Navy
    Kingsmill's Cruisers: The Cruiser Tradition in the Early Royal Canadian Navy. Kenneth P. Hansen1 Une étude des publications concernant les croiseurs de la structure de la force navale canadienne révèle un malentendu profond et répandu au sujet des rôles et des caractéristiques des nombreux types de croiseurs qu 'on a utilisés ou qu 'on a considérés comme étant utilisables au Canada. Le plan original concernant la flotte de la MRC en 1910 prévoyait centaines caractéristiques au niveau des croiseurs qu 'on peut maintenant considérer clairement, après une période intermédiaire importante, comme étant un sextant dans les frégates actuelles utilisées par la marine canadienne. Loin d'être un concept non pertinent d'une ère révolue, les caractéristiques essentielles des croiseurs de patrouille sont toutes aussi pertinentes aujourd'hui qu'elles l'étaient en 1910. Ces caractéristiques sont l'endurance, l'aptitude à la mer, les installations de commandement et de contrôle, et les emménagements utilisés en mer par le commandant et par son personnel. The RCN's ambition to acquire a "big ship navy" has resulted in charges of "institutional schizophrenia" by Canada's academic community.2 Recent scholarly research by Canadian naval officers also suggests that the post World War Two RCN was over reaching by trying to expand beyond a destroyer-based organization.3 A dichotomy is purported to exist between the need for high numbers of small escort vessels to fight recurrent anti-submarine wars in the North Atlantic and the professional navy's desire for a balanced force structure 1 The views presented in this paper are attributable solely of the author and are not to be construed in any way as declarations of policy by the Government of Canada, the Department of National Defence or the Canadian Forces, the Canadian Forces College, or any member of the Canadian Forces other than the author.

  • USN Ship Designations
    USN Ship Designations By Guy Derdall and Tony DiGiulian Updated 17 September 2010 Nomenclature History Warships in the United States Navy were first designated and numbered in system originating in 1895. Under this system, ships were designated as "Battleship X", "Cruiser X", "Destroyer X", "Torpedo Boat X" and so forth where X was the series hull number as authorized by the US Congress. These designations were usually abbreviated as "B-1", "C-1", "D-1", "TB-1," etc. This system became cumbersome by 1920, as many new ship types had been developed during World War I that needed new categories assigned, especially in the Auxiliary ship area. On 17 July 1920, Acting Secretary of the Navy Robert E. Coontz approved a standardized system of alpha-numeric symbols to identify ship types such that all ships were now designated with a two letter code and a hull number, with the first letter being the ship type and the second letter being the sub-type. For example, the destroyer tender USS Melville, first commissioned as "Destroyer Tender No. 2" in 1915, was now re-designated as "AD-2" with the "A" standing for Auxiliary, the "D" for Destroyer (Tender) and the "2" meaning the second ship in that series. Ship types that did not have a subclassification simply repeated the first letter. So, Battleships became "BB-X" and Destroyers became "DD-X" with X being the same number as previously assigned. Ships that changed classifications were given new hull numbers within their new designation series. The designation "USS" standing for "United States Ship" was adopted in 1907.

  • Operation: Prometheus V
    FICTION OPERATION: PROMETHEUS V. 1.0 OPERATION: PROMETHEUS BY CHARLES LEWIS - 1 - Captain Naismith of the TUS Arishikage, an older Terran Union scout cruiser, was pondering the message board in his lap, when his executive officer entered the bridge. “You wanted to see me, Sir?” “Yes, Jim. New orders.” He handed the XO the message board. “Come with me. Mr. Krishnu, you have the conn.” The captain got up to leave. “I have the conn, aye, Sir,” replied the navigator. About halfway to the captain’s quarters, the XO let out a shrill low whistle, but managed to hold his tongue until they were in private. “Are they making this stuff up? They’ve got to be nuts!” “What’s so crazy about it, Jim? Seems like a good plan to me.” So absorbed was he in his reading that Jim Somerville didn’t catch the sardonic tone in his captain’s voice. “What’s so crazy about it, Sir? Well, where do I begin? We’re supposed to ID a suitable target for an ambush shortly after it has transitioned from EDT into the system. Fine, easy enough. Then, they’re going to send a Carthage class cruiser with fighter escort to distract it. And finally, they’re going to stick some poor Marines into some experimental death traps they’re calling “breaching pods” to fly over, maneuvering at drone speeds mind you, cut into the target’s hull and capture it intact. The whole thing is insane!” Captain Naismith had allowed himself the luxury of a grin while his XO ranted.

Thene are to be known as "scout cruisers," from whlch -- 3 v name their function In naval warfare ma; readily be guessed, and the Idea of having-suc- h ships In the fleet bufl been borrowed by Uncle Sam from Great Britain, where several such craft have recently been con- structed for the purpose of keeping tab on an enemy's fleet. Since a scout cruiser upon discovering the approach of a hos- tile squadron must not ouly be agile enough to evade capture, but must also be qualified to race home and give warn- SsW ing. It goes without saying that speed Is a prime requisite In such a vessel, and accordingly the trio of new Tankee scouts will each be fitted with engines of 16.000-horsepowe- r, capable of dr!vlng her through the water at a clip of 28 mile per hour, or better. The new scout cruisers wl!l be doubly Interesting, from the fact that the Ntvy ikJttiiL,,..jr Department will try an innovation la the meaner of obtaining speed. One of the ships the Birmingham will be J3Z772?G-jBUTZ.Tj- T 3 4 with triple-expansio- n 5 equipped ordinary engines of the same general pattern as those Installed In all our warships for 0 years past, but the other two scouts will be fitted with steam turbines, the newest wrinkle In power producing machinery and apparatus, such as has gained credit for tbe exceptional speed of the new trans-Atlanti- c passenger steamers of the Cunard Line.
