They stretch from east-southeast to west-north­ west for a distance of 1660 nautical miles (1900 statute; 3057.74 kilomet- ers) or more, from the southeast side of Hawaii to beyond Midway and Kure. Each time a survey ship makes soundings along this strip it adds new sub­ merged peaks to the chain. We may divide the islands of the Hawaiian chain into three areas: (1) the eight main islands at the southeastern end; (2) the small rocky islets in the middle; and (3) the low sand and coral islands of the northwestern end.

  • American Diplomatic Despatches About the Internal Conditions in the Soviet Union, 1917-1933
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: REPORTING FROM THE FRONTLINES OF THE FIRST COLD WAR: AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC DESPATCHES ABOUT THE INTERNAL CONDITIONS IN THE SOVIET UNION, 1917-1933 Asgar M. Asgarov, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Associate Professor Michael David-Fox, Department of History Following the Bolshevik Revolution in November of 1917, the United States ended diplomatic relations with Russia, and refused to recognize the Soviet regime until 1933 when President Franklin Roosevelt reversed this policy. Given Russia’s vast size and importance on the world stage, Washington closely monitored the internal developments in that country during the non-recognition period. This dissertation is study of the American diplomatic despatches about the political, economic and social conditions in the USSR in its formative years. In addition to examining the despatches as a valuable record of the Soviet past, the dissertation also explores the ways in which the despatches shaped the early American attitudes toward the first Communist state and influenced the official policy. The American diplomats, stationed in revolutionary Russia and later, in the territories of friendlier nations surrounding the Soviet state, prepared regular reports addressing various aspects of life in the USSR. Following the evacuation of the American diplomatic personnel from Russia toward the end of the Civil War, the Western visitors to Russia, migrants, and Soviet publications became primary sources of knowledge about the Soviet internal affairs. Under the guidance of the Eastern European Affairs Division at the U.S. State Department, the Americans managed to compile great volumes of information about the Soviet state and society. In observing the chronological order, this dissertation focuses on issues of particular significance and intensity such as diplomatic observers’ treatment of political violence, repression and economic hardships that engulfed tumultuous periods of the Revolution, Civil War, New Economic Policy and Collectivization.

  • You‟D Think, After Some 70+ Years of Searching and Collecting, the Hobby Would Surely Have Rooted out All Existing Navy Ship Covers by Now
    RMS BULLETIN NO. 561 March/April 2013 by Mike Prero You‟d think, after some 70+ years of searching and collecting, the hobby would surely have rooted out all existing Navy Ship covers by now. But, the discovery of several unlisted navy ship covers within the last 18-24 months, including a Pre-War DQ, prompted me to wonder how many other hitherto unknown ship covers might still be out there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered. Of course, if they‟re as yet undiscovered, we can‟t really tell how many there are. Still, we can speculate...so... As near as I‟ve been able to find, the U.S. Navy+Coast Guard had some 1,000 ships in service on December 7, 1941 [http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ships/ships-alpha.html]. Compared to that, the Pre-War Navy Ship listing lists, or soon will list, known covers from 423 ships, including US Maritime Service). Cross- checking both lists, here are known Pre-War ships for which no covers have yet been found: -USS Aaron Ward (DD-132) -USS Alcor (AG-34) -USS Antaeus (AS-21) -USS Abbott (DD-184) -USS Alcor (AR-10) -USS Antares (AKS-3) -USS Abel P.
