In addition to having to account for the random nature of wave induced loads, transient loadings such as slamming, wave slap and frontal impacts must also be addressed. Failure to account for these impulsive loads and how best to combine these loads with ever present slow varying wave induced loads can result in, at best, reduced ship Operational time and, at worst, catastrophic failure. In order to address these concerns, a critical review of the state of the art in predicting hydrodynamic impact forces has been completed. This report identifies numerous theories of hydrodynamic impact loading that have been developed over the years by many researchers. These theories are evaluated to identify which are most applicable for use in design with example calculations presented. Recommendations for future research are given. 4!2%s Rear Admi&l, U.S. Coast Guard Chairman, Ship Structure Committee Technical R*port Documentation Page 1. Raport No. 2. Government Accsssion No. 3.

Abstract This bibliography was formulated during the development of the Ship Structure Committee report: Hydrodynamic Impact Loading on Displacement Ship Hulls, An Assessment of the State of the Art, by Dr . John C. Daidola and Dr. Victor Mishkevich. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of the art of hydrodynamic impact loading on displacement ship hulls. The subject is considered in light of the three distinct phenomena of slamming, wave slap, and frontal impact. Factors leading to hydro- dynamic impact are defined in terms of environmental and vessel characteristics. The theories of impact are reviewed in sub- categories of two and three dimensional analytical hydrodynamic models, hydroelastic models, seakeeping theory, model tests and full scale data. The techniques and procedures identified which lend themselves to analysis and potential design application are identified and described, the characteristics of each summarized, and example calculations relating the techni-ques and procedures presented. The report concludes with recommendations for future research. ! 17. Koy Words lE.

Reilly Jr. Naval Historical Foundation USA ___________________________________________________ This is a detailed recounting of the history of the U.S. Navy’s first “keel-up” aircraft carrier. Completed in 1934, Ranger (CV-4) was decommissioned in 1946. Her service was relatively brief, and her only exposures to combat were the landings in North Africa and an attack on German shipping at Bodo, Norway. Her story, however, proves to be eventful, and the author gives a lively account of the varied events that make up the life of a Navy ship. A warship’s career is more than merely a tally of campaigns and bloody battles, and this book gives Ranger’s peacetime service the attention that the reader will find it merits. Ranger took part in the annual Fleet Problems in which, among other things, concepts of carrier warfare were tested and refined, visited Latin America in pursuit of President Roosevelt’s “Good Neighbor” policy, conducted early cold-weather experiments, and lent scout-bombers to Lexington to help in the search for Amelia Earhart. In 1939 she began operations with the Neutrality Patrol. By 1941 she was operating the new Grumman F4F-3 fighter, and trying to cope with its aggravated “teething troubles” as Navy and Marine squadrons would later have to do in the Pacific until the F6F Hellcat came of age.

Today, over 200 years later, our mighty war- ship dwarfs her namesake in size and power, but matches, without a doubt, the sense of pride and dedication in the knowledge that she has and con- tinues to serve her nation to the utmost of her abilities. Therefore, on this, our Ranger's 25th anniver- sary, it is only fitting that the man who began the great tradition of Ranger speak in her behalf. Our featured speaker for today's program is Capt.

    Maintaining the Edge: How to Keep the U.S. Military Procurement System Strong By Charles Carroll A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts September 2018 © 2018 Charles Carroll All Rights Reserved Abstract: The United States is facing a fiscal crisis at the same time it is facing a military crisis. The United States military needs to continue investing in future technologies and capabilities while also adapting to multiple new challenges and threats. The competing spending between federal programs makes all of this more complicated and the federal budget needs to be invested across a spectrum of critical areas. While an increase in military spending is needed, the question of how to effectively spend U.S. resources to remain on the most powerful military in the world needs to be re- examined. This thesis seeks to look back at historical examples to help chart a path ahead. The Department of Defense will need to show Congress it is making every effort to invest and modernize in a fiscally responsible manner, but this is not beyond the capabilities of the Department. The United States rose to military power in an era of similar constraints, but the adaptability and ingenuity of the American worker, soldier, sailor, airman, and marine allowed the U.S. to excel with new technology. Prior to World War Two, the United States faced massive deficits, economic downturn, unemployment, and a public skeptical about United States power projection. Policy makers and the military navigated through this to create the most powerful fighting forces in the world and the ingenious PAC-10 carrier strike group doctrine, which transformed the face of naval warfare.

    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.
