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.

  • Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton, the Naval War College, and the Law of Naval Warfare
    Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton, the Naval War College, and the Law of Naval Warfare John Hattendorf INCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1884, the U.S. Naval War College has played a § role in the study and formulation of the law of armed conflict. Many distinguished scholars and lawyers have taught, researched, and written studies in this field at the College. The roll call of its professors of international law includes such distinguished scholars as John Bassett Moore, George Grafton Wilson, Manley o. Hudson, Hans Kelsen, Thomas Mallison, and Howard Levie. Many of the most well~known names are those of scholars who held the position as a parHime appointment and worked at the Naval War College for a few months each year, while also holding chairs at major civilian universities. This policy changed only in July 1951, when the Secretary of the Navy created the College's first two full~time civilian academic appointments: a professor of history and a professor of international law. For many years both were normally held by visiting scholars for a one or two~year period. On 6 October 1967 the College named the law position the Charles H. Stockton Chair ofInternational Law.1 In attaching the name of Stockton to one of its oldest and most prestigious academic chairs, the Naval War College remembered a naval officer who was a key figure in its own institutional history as well as an important figure in the development of the law of naval warfare. Today, the prestigious Stockton Chair at the Naval War College, and Stockton Hall, the home of the Law School at The George Washington University in Stockton, the War College and the Law Washington, D.C., are the principal tokens of his memory and his achievements.

  • Island in Agony: the War in Guam
    12 Island in Agony: The War in Guam Tony Palomo Wben one reads the popular anthologies about World War II in the Pacific one is invariably impressed by the drama of the stealthy Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the rape of Nanking, the humiliation of the French in Indo­ china, and the blustery cry of "I shall return!" from General Douglas MacArthur just before the fall of Bataan in the Philippines. As one leafs through the ultimate chapter of these chronologies one senses the heroics at Midway and the Coral Sea, the deathly battles at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, and finally, the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri on Tokyo Bay. These are, of course, all factual and quite appropriate in any recounting of the Pacific War. Invariably missing in all these anthologies are the roles played by the unwitting victims of the war and the effects the three-year conflict had on these people. Let me speak about Guam because I was there from beginning to end, although I was a bit too young to fight and a bit too old to forget. Guam is the southernmost island in the Mariana archipelago, a little over 200 square miles at about 14 degrees north of the equator. During 1941 there were some 20,000 people living in Guam; no less than 90 percent were of Chamorro ancestry. The other 10 percent were Americans, mostly military personnel and their dependents, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, some Micro­ nesians, and a few persons of Spanish, German, and English ancestry. About half of the population was then living in the city of Agana.
