    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.

    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor

    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002). Assigned to the 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, Beale AFB, Calif., RSO Maj. Thomas Veltri (right) and Maj. Duane Noll prepare for an SR-71 mission from RAF Mildenhall, UK, in the mid- 1980s.

    An Incomplete History of the USS FISKE (DD/DDR 842)

    An Incomplete History of the USS FISKE (DD/DDR 842) For The Fiske Association Prepared by R. C. Mabe – Association Historian October 1999 Edited & revised by G. E. Beyer – Association Historian September 2007 Introduction The USS FISKE was a Gearing Class destroyer, the last of the World War II design destroyers. She served in the US Navy from 1945 until 1980 and was subsequently transferred to the Turkish Navy where she served as the TCG Piyale Pasa (D350). The former FISKE was heavily damaged in 1996 when she ran aground and was scrapped in early 1999. Altogether the FISKE served two navies for over 54 years. I am titling this report as an „Incomplete History of the USS Fiske DD/DDR 842‟ for the simple reason that it not complete. I am continuing to try and fill the gaps and inconsistencies to the best of my ability. Any help in this effort will be appreciated. The Soul of a Ship Now, some say that men make a ship and her fame As she goes on her way down the sea: That the crew which first man her will give her a name – Good, bad, or whatever may be. Those coming after fall in line And carry the tradition along – If the spirit was good, it will always be fine – If bad, it will always be wrong/ The soul of a ship is a marvelous thing. Not made of its wood or its steel, But fashioned of mem‟ries and songs that men sing, And fed by the passions men feel.

As always, your comments, contributions and critique are welcome - Send to me at [email protected] Chairman's Report The Committee has not been idle during this lockdown and is managing issues of the Club virtually to determine the way forward when the Club reopens for business. The Committee is highly appreciative of Ancient Mariners and Honorary members who have forfeited their privilege of no subs, to make a donation for this financial year to assist the Club tackle the financial predicament it finds itself in during this lockdown period. The same appreciation goes towards the 100 club winners who have donated their winnings back to the Club. BZ. The Club is still fortunate to be able to remunerate its staff during this period with the exception of the Club Manager who has refused to take a salary and donated it back to the Club. This, once again, is highly appreciated. The good intentions of the above is soured a bit by certain members who have yet to pay their annual subscription. I urge those members to settle their accounts as soon as possible. Jonathan Golding is putting an auction together during this lockdown period to generate funding for the Club. It would appreciated if members support this endeavor as much as possible. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Club, sooner rather than later. Be safe. Birthdays in August The Club wishes the following members a very happy birthday and hopes that year ahead will be very kind to each of you! Capt.
