United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States. All errors and omissions are solely those of the author.

MIDWAY ATOLL – Distinguished visitors and more than 1,500 guests of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, International Midway Memorial Foundation and the U.S. Pacific Fleet, assembled on Midway Atoll, June 4, to commemorate the 65th anni- versary of the Battle of Midway. “We‟re gathered here today at one of the most re- mote and special places on earth. Midway, is where the course of history was changed,” said the Honorable Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawaii. The Battle of Midway was fought June 4 – 7, 1942, and served as a turning point in the Pacific during World War II. “No one knew it at the time, but the tide of war in the Pacific had turned because of the heroism and sheer determination of those who fought on June 4, 1942,” said Dr. James M. D’Angelo, president and chairman, International Midway Memorial Foundation. “It‟s not hard to imagine what we would‟ve heard if we‟d have been here this day 65 years ago. -

Comsubforpac USS SCULPIN (SS 191)
USS Sculpin (SS 191) Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet USS SCULPIN (SS 191) November 19, 1943 - 62 Men Lost En route to Johnston Island, SCULPIN, under Cmdr. Fred Connaway, left Pearl Harbor on 5 November 1943. After topping off with fuel, she left Johnston on 7 November to conduct her ninth patrol in an area in the Caroline Islands. Her mission was to support the action of our surface forces in the Gilbert Islands by intercepting and attacking any enemy forces which might be proceeding from Truk toward the Marshall Islands to oppose our surface forces. She was to leave her area on 14 December, and return to Pearl Harbor, stopping at Johnston for fuel if necessary. SCULPIN was not heard from following her departure from Johnston Island on 7 November. During the patrol, Commander John P. Cromwell (promoted Captain during the patrol) was aboard SCULPIN. He was to take charge of a coordinated attack group consisting of SCULPIN, SEARAVEN, and either APOGON or SPEARFISH, if formation of the group were directed by dispatch. Should the group be ordered formed, Captain Cromwell would transmit his orders to them by low frequency radio from SCULPIN. On the night of 29 November, the vessels were directed to form and APOGON was named as the third member of the group. When Captain Cromwell gave no rendezvous orders after 40 hours, ComSubPac sent new orders. SCULPIN was to proceed immediately to Eniwetok, make a close observation, and report any enemy shipping. This was done in order to avoid confusion among the other submarines, and to determine whether SCULPIN was all right. -

WITH HER ON THE CHRISTENING PLATFORM ARE ELECTRIC BOAT PRESIDENT JEFF GEIGER, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY RAY MABUS, AND ADM. JAMES CALDWELL JR., DIRECTOR OF NAVAL NUCLEAR PROPULSION. OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2015 nder a picture postcard October sky, First Lady Michelle Obama let go a powerful swing to break a bottle of sparkling wine against the submarine Illinois (SSN-786) at the Groton Ushipyard Oct. 10. More than 7,000 employees, family members and guests attended the christening of the 13th submarine of the Virginia Class. Most of them observed the event from a grandstand on the north side of Graving Dock 3, where the submarine was berthed. The grandstand was installed to accommodate the large turnout for Mrs. Obama. The event marked the fourth time a First Lady has chris- tened a submarine in the shipyard. The first was Mamie Eisenhower (USS Nautilus; Jan. 21, 1954), followed by Jacqueline Kennedy (USS Lafayette; May 8, 1962), and Hillary Clinton (USS Columbia; Sept. 24, 1994). On the VIP platform affixed to the submarine’s hull were representatives from the Connecticut, Rhode Island and Illinois congressional delegations; Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner; Adm. James Caldwell Jr., director of Naval Nuclear Propulsion; and Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, who delivered the principal address. Before the start of the program, attendees were enter- tained by the Blues Brotherhood, a Blues Brothers tribute band. -
The USS Sculpin (SS-191)
The USS Sculpin (SS-191) On the night of November 18, 1943 the USS Sculpin (SS-191), a Sargo-class submarine on its ninth patrol, made radar contact on a Japanese convoy and managed to make an end around for what promised to be a successful approach for a dawn attack. However, during the morning attack phase, she was detected by a Japanese destroyer and forced to go deep. While Lt. Commander Fred Connaway and the Sculpin crew listened, the enemy convoy zig-zagged toward her. About an hour later, believing they were in the clear, the submarine rose to periscope depth in hopes of catching the enemy convoy before it moved out of range, but immediately dove again after realizing they had surfaced just 6,000 yards from a destroyer that was lagging behind the convoy. Depth charges ensued from the Japanese destroyer, the Yamagumo, and after hours of being attacked and searched for, by noon it was believed that they had shaken the enemy. An inspection determined that the Sculpin received only minor damage and was fundamentally sound. The diving officer tried to bring her to periscope depth but the depth gauge stuck at 125 feet so the Sculpin surfaced rather abruptly. Once again, Commander Connaway found himself staring at the destroyer headed straight for him. From the conning tower, Connaway screamed for an emergency dive, slammed the hatch behind him and the Sculpin dove deep. The Yamagumo dropped 18 depth charges in close succession, one of which impeded the submarine’s ability to control its depth. As the sub rapidly dove past her maximum depth of 250 feet, she began to leak as the rivets and seams began to give due to the pressure, the steering and diving plane gear were damaged, and she was badly out of trim. -
