Appendix As Too Inclusive
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph. -

The Evolution of the US Navy Into an Effective
The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeff T. Reardon August 2008 © 2008 Jeff T. Reardon All Rights Reserved ii This dissertation titled The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943 by JEFF T. REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night. -

USS Washington Gunfire on 15 November 1942
USS Washington Gunfire on 15 November 1942 0016 to 0019 fired 42 rounds 16”, opening at 18,500 yards at large cruiser or BB which it is believed was sunk.1 From 0100 to 0107 fired 75 16” and 107 rounds 5” at ranges from 8,400 to 12,650 yards. U.S.S. Washington fired S.B. 133 rounds between 0025 and 0034 at ranges of 10,000 yards at light craft engaging U.S. destroyers. There are eyewitnesses from U.S.S. South Dakota which refer to a main battery salvo from the Washington that may have hit U.S.S. Preston, but this is not part of Washington’s action report and I have no way to prove it. To my knowledge neither Bob Ballard’s expedition nor the Paul Allen group have made any attempt to find the wreck of Preston which may be the only way to prove this mystery about the battle. At 0031 Washington reported three excellent optical ranges were obtained on a burning ship at 10,200 yards (Ayanami). South Dakota 0031.20 fired her eleventh salvo (all Turrets) This range corresponds to Washington which is about 7,000 yards astern and to port. South Dakota entered into her logs at 0033 of many shells landing over with few short on Washington. She reported this fire as a hail of fire equal to what South Dakota’s secondary battery could put out. There are no Japanese ships to the port side of U.S. forces and no Japanese shore batteries took part in the battle. -

However, by that time, the battleship action was a desperate gamble Japanese had conquered a great deal of that involved risking the last heavy territory and were poised to resume their surface force in the Pacific in a way that march. It was not until the Guadalcanal was contrary to established doctrine and campaign (August 1942 - February in a type of fighting that the Japanese 1943) that the Americans began to retake had shown themselves to be masters. territory and put the Japanese on the defensive. The bitter fighting on that island is legendary. However, there was also a series of naval actions off Guadalcanal that played a crucial role in the campaign. These were not what is USS WASHINGTON (BB 56) commonly thought of as the typical World War II naval action. Air power DISPLACEMENT: 41,000 full load only played a supporting part.
