    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 443-9532 11 Munnings Drive Email: [email protected] Sudbury, MA 01776 28 July 2015 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: All other military veterans among Harvard alumni (H-1950 to present) Harvard graduates have a long proud history of serving as warriors in the United States military. During the Korean War, 60% of the Harvard classes served in the US military but only 23% of the class of 1963 served in the US military (note: the % of military veterans in other classes since the Korean War have not yet been validated. I suspect the % of veterans in the late 1950’s & early 1960’s were similar to 1963 participation level but was slightly higher during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s as the Vietnam War heated up. Fostered the anti- military policies of the Harvard administration of the time and the expulsion of on campus ROTC programs, the mid 1970’s saw a precipitous drop in number of patriotic Harvard graduates who elected to do something beyond their own self-interest and serve our country in the US military. Harvard has recently taken a proactive posture towards the US military. However, the proportion of veterans among recent alumni over the past 2 decades have been roughly less than 1% of whom about half were commissioned through the ROTC programs based at MIT. The purpose of developing the subject is not for egotistic self-promotion but to reinforce the general awareness that freedom is not free.

    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.
