USS Holland (AS-32) Decommissioning Ceremony USS HOLLAND (AS 32) Decommissioning Ceremony 1000, 13 April 1996 In Apra Harbor, Guam The Commissioning Pennant It is a time-honored tradition, this ceremony that decommissions a ship of the United States Navy. The decommissioning ceremony signifies the ship's retirement from active service and entry into the reserve fleet. The symbols used in today's ceremony have their origins in antiquity. During the Middle Ages the mark of knights and other nobles was a "coach whip pennant" called a pennon. The size of these pennons as well as their diverse splendor signified the rank and importance of the noble it heralded. During the infancy of modern naval sea power these nobles flew thei r pennons from the most visible place on the ship, usually the forecastle or the main mast. Perhaps the first time the commissioning pennant was used independent of feudal heraldry dates back to the 17th century during a conflict between the Dutch and English. Admiral Martin Harpertoon Tromp of the Dutch fleet hoisted a broom at his masthead to indicate his intention to "sweep" the English Navy from the sea. The gesture was soon answered by British Admiral William Blake who hoisted a horse whip to indicate his intentions to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their boast and ever since a narrow coach whip pennant, symbolizing the original horsewhip, has been the distinctive mark of a vessel of war and has been adopted by all nations. The commissioning pennant, as it is called today, is blue at the hoist, with a union of seven white stars, and is red and white at the fly, in two horizontal stripes. The number of stars is arbitrary. The pennant is flown at the main by vessels not carrying flag officers. Today's ceremony and its participants are enacting-an age-old tradition handed down over the centuries. When the commissioning pennant is finally lowered from the main and handed over to the commanding officer, the ship is officially retired.

Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. On July 13, 2012, the Navy submitted to Congress a 73-page report on the Navy’s policies and practices for naming ships. For ship types now being procured for the Navy, or recently procured for the Navy, naming rules can be summarized as follows: The first Ohio replacement ballistic missile submarine (SBNX) has been named Columbia in honor of the District of Columbia, but the Navy has not stated what the naming rule for these ships will be. Virginia (SSN-774) class attack submarines are being named for states. Aircraft carriers are generally named for past U.S. Presidents. Of the past 14, 10 were named for past U.S. Presidents, and 2 for Members of Congress. Destroyers are being named for deceased members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including Secretaries of the Navy.

    Submarines in the United States Navy - Wikipedia Page 1 of 13 Submarines in the United States Navy There are three major types of submarines in the United States Navy: ballistic missile submarines, attack submarines, and cruise missile submarines. All submarines in the U.S. Navy are nuclear-powered. Ballistic subs have a single strategic mission of carrying nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Attack submarines have several tactical missions, including sinking ships and subs, launching cruise missiles, and gathering intelligence. The submarine has a long history in the United States, beginning with the Turtle, the world's first submersible with a documented record of use in combat.[1] Contents Early History (1775–1914) World War I and the inter-war years (1914–1941) World War II (1941–1945) Offensive against Japanese merchant shipping and Japanese war ships Lifeguard League Cold War (1945–1991) Towards the "Nuclear Navy" Strategic deterrence Post–Cold War (1991–present) Composition of the current force Fast attack submarines Ballistic and guided missile submarines Personnel Training Pressure training Escape training Traditions Insignia Submarines Insignia Other insignia Unofficial insignia Submarine verse of the Navy Hymn See also External links References https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarines_in_the_United_States_Navy 3/24/2018 Submarines in the United States Navy - Wikipedia Page 2 of 13 Early History (1775–1914) There were various submersible projects in the 1800s.

  • Strategic Systems Programs
    The second ship of their class, USS Frank Cable (AS-40) is forward-deployed at Apra Harbor, Guam, where she serves U.S. Submarines - and - surfaces combatants - on deployments to the western Pacific. She was built by Lockheed/Seattle and commissioned in 1980. Frank Cable is one of two forward-deployed tenders that provide vital services to submarines while away from their homeports. She is seen here with USS Salt Lake City (SSN-716). THE SUBMARINE'S SECRET WEAPON A Tender Tale by Randall Guttery Even though Japan succeeded in destroying or damaging much of the battle line of the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor, it is a great irony of World War II that their own senior officers immediately acknowledged two major failures: First, that the U.S. aircraft carriers escaped destruction; and second, that the air attack had largely ignored the Pearl Harbor submarine base. Subsequently, with the main body of the Pacific Fleet incapacitated, U.S. submarines were virtually the only forces left to carry the fight to the enemy. As Admiral Chester W. Nimitz observed, "When I assumed command of the Pacific Fleet on 31 December 1941, our submarines were already operating against the enemy, the only units of the fleet that could come to grips with the Japanese for months to come. It was to the Submarine Force that I looked to carry the load until our great industrial activity could produce the weapons we so sorely needed to carry the war to the enemy. It is to the everlasting honor and glory of our submarine personnel that they never failed us in our days of great peril." The image that most people have of the submarine operations that ensued is one of hunting down the enemy on far-flung war patrols and then returning home victoriously with a broom tied to the mast - as often as not passing under the Golden Gate Bridge - to a comfortable port where liberty, rest, and recreation awaited.

  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.

On that morning the face of naval warfare in the Pacific changed utterly. No longer would the war at sea be decided by squadrons of the world’s largest and most powerful battleships. Instead, the strategic emphasis shifted to a combination of two more lethal and far-ranging naval weapon systems. The aircraft carrier would replace the battleship by being able to increase the deadly range of a fleet from a few tens of miles – the range of battleship guns – to the hundreds of miles range of bomb- and torpedo-carrying aircraft. In addition, the American submarine would be able to place a strangler’s grip on the throat of the Japanese empire that, unlike the German U-boats’ attempts to control the Atlantic waters, could not be broken. Some have said that the result of the attack at Pearl Harbor was fortuitous in that it forced the US Navy to look toward the carrier and submarine to defend the southern Pacific and the United States’ western coast. This argument overlooks, however, the prewar build-up in those two weapons platforms, which seems to indicate that some individuals were looking seriously toward the future and the inevitable conflict.
