  • Halsey, Admiral William F
    HALSEY THE FIGHTER Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., U.S.N., Commander, Thi~d Fleet, has held a fighting command against the Japanese virtually with­ out interruption since the outbreak of war. During that three -year period, under command of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U.S.N., he conducted the highly successful campaign in the South Pacific and the subsequent operations by the Third Fleet leading to the occupation of the Philippines. It was his drive and audacity that accounted, in large measure, for the success· of these forces. Admiral Halsey has peen described in an offi~ial citation as" a forceful and inspiring leader." In World War I, he was awarded the Navy Cross for destroyer service and cited for his "vigorous and unremitting" prosecution of offensive and defensive action. In this war he has been cited for "brilliant and audacious attack"; for "invincible determination to destroy the enemy," and "daring initiative and superb tactical skill." Admiral Halsey's own formula for war is: "Hit hard, hit fast,hit often." He insists on full flexibility in carrying out a miSSion, without adhering to rigid, written plans conceived before the tactical situation develops. "I believe in violating the rules," he says. "'vVe violate them every day. We do the unexpected -- we Bxpose ourselves to shore -based planes. We don't stay behind the battle with our carriers. But, most important, whatever we do -- we do fastl" Long before the outbreak of this war, Admiral Halsey appreCiated the military significance of the airplane. That accounted for his decision to take up aviation.

  • USS Reina Mercedes
    El USS Reina Mercedes José Ángel Arbizu Moral (Josean) Socio de AFINET En la imagen, fotografía (circa 1898) del crucero español Reina Mercedes. (Foto del Museo Naval de Madrid). omo es conocido, la mayoría de las unidades navales de la armada de Estados Unidos han estado dotadas de oficina postal para atender al correo de los tripulantes; como es C lógico, estas oficinas estaban dotadas de matasellos para la cancelación del correo. En estos matasellos se detallaba el nombre y el código de clasificación del buque (excepto en épo- cas de guerra que se utilizaban matasellos numerales), y muchas veces también, aprovechando el espacio entre las líneas canceladoras, se colocaban ahí diversos mensajes, como por ejemplo los puertos que se visitaban, mensajes navideños, etc. Todo esto como preámbulo para conocer el final de un buque de la armada española que, tras ser hundido en aguas de la bahía de Santiago de Cuba, fue reflotado por la armada de Estados Unidos, remolcado a ese país y utilizado como buque alojamiento de la armada hasta casi los años 60 del siglo XX. Lógicamente hablamos del crucero Reina Mercedes, o USS Reina Mercedes como estaba catalogado por la armada de Estados Unidos, ya que mantuvieron el nombre original del buque. El crucero Reina Mercedes se construyó en el Arsenal Naval de Cartagena y fue botado en septiembre de 1887. Con un armamento principal compuesto por seis cañones de 160 mm, y cinco tubos lanzatorpedos fijos de 356 mm, este buque formaba parte de la clase de cruceros Clase Reina Cristina. Al igual que sus dos gemelos (Reina Cristina y Alfonso XII), sufrió grandes retrasos en su construcción, debido a la falta de materiales.

  • Class of 1949 HISTORY
    1 Class of 1949 HISTORY The history of the Class of 1949 is still in development. Nonetheless, members can recall its early beginnings and many things of subsequent years. A ’49 ABSTRACT was prepared by Gene Shine (deceased) in 1994 and rewritten for dissemination during the 50th Class of 1949 Reunion titled A 50TH YEAR PROFILE OF THE CLASS OF 1949, U. S.
