‎Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships; Volume I - 1959‎

‎Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1959. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Good. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.5 inches. xvii 1 349 1 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Footnotes. Illustrations. This first edition is increasing scarce and highly sought after. The contents include Foreword by Admiral Arleigh Burke; Preface by Rear Admiral E. M Eller U.S.N. Ret. Director of Naval History; Bibliography. Abbreviations List of Ships; Appendices Battleships Cruisers Submarines Submarine Tenders Submarine Rescue Vessel Torpedo Boasts and Destroyers and Escort Vessels. This original edition depicts each ship in its historical setting. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships DANFS is the official reference work for the basic facts about ships used by the United States Navy. When the writing project was developed the parameters for this series were designed to cover only commissioned US Navy ships with assigned names. If the ship was not assigned a name it was not included in the histories written for the series. In addition to the ship entries DANFS and the online links have been expanded to include appendices on small craft histories of Confederate Navy ships and various essays related to naval ships. The Ships histories were edited by James G. Boland and K. Jack Bauer. The appendices were compiled by Lieutenant Dean C. Allard Jr. aided by Captain F. Kent Lewis Commander Richard C. Johnson and Mr. Loyd A. Olsson. The Histories Branch researched and wrote the multi volume Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. Compiled like an encyclopedia each volume includes summary histories of U.S. Navy ships from certain sections of the alphabet. DANFS was published by the Naval Historical Center NHC as bound hardcover volumes ordered by ship name from Volume I A–B in 1959 to Volume VIII W–Z in 1981. Several volumes subsequently went out of print. In 1991 a revised Volume I Part A covering only ship names beginning with A was released. Work continues on revisions of the remaining volumes. As the DANFS is a work of the U.S. government its content is in the public domain and the text is often quoted verbatim in other works. Many resources organized by former and active crew members of U.S. Navy vessels include a copy of their ships' DANFS entries. The Dictionary limits itself largely to basic descriptions and brief operational notes and includes almost no analysis or historical context. Unless otherwise specified all the ships illustrated in this volume are commission ships of the United States Navy with their names preceded by the Identification USS. U. S.

The Lockheed P-3 Orion is a four-engine turboprop anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft developed for the United States Navy and introduced in the 1960s. Lockheed based it on the L-188 Electra commercial airliner. The aircraft is easily distinguished from the Electra by its distinctive tail stinger or "MAD Boom" used for the magnetic detection of submarines. Over the years the aircraft has seen numerous design developments most notably in its electronics packages. Numerous navies and air forces around the world continue to use the P-3 Orion primarily for maritime patrol reconnaissance anti-surface warfare and anti-submarine warfare. A total of 757 P-3s have been built and in 2012 it joined the handful of military aircraft including the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker Lockheed C-130 Hercules and the Lockheed U-2 that the United States military has been using for more than 50 years. In October 1962 P-3A aircraft flew several blockade patrols in the vicinity of Cuba. Having just recently joined the operational Fleet earlier that year this was the first employment of the P-3 in a real world "near conflict" situation. The only confirmed combat loss of a P-3 also occurred during Operation Market Time. In April 1968 a U.S. Navy P-3B of VP-26 was downed by anti-aircraft fire in the Gulf of Thailand with the loss of the entire crew. Two months earlier in February 1968 another one of VP-26's P-3B aircraft was operating in the same vicinity when it crashed with the loss of the entire crew. Originally attributed to an aircraft mishap at low altitude later conjecture is that this aircraft may have also fallen victim to anti-aircraft artillery AAA fire from the same source as the April incident.

‎Fire Controlman 2c Vol. 2; RESTRICTED NAVPERS 100035 B from front cover‎

‎Washington DC: United States Government Printing Office 1945. Naval Training Courses Edition of 1945 stated. Wraps. Good. vii 1 307 5 pages. Illustrations. Fold-out. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some page discoloration at edges. This book was written for the purpose of aiding in the promotion of Fire Controlman 3c to Fire Controlman 2c. The use of this text must be accompanied by the actual operation of Fire Control equipment. Because of the extensive requirements in the qualifications for Fire Controlman 2c it was found advisable to divide the material into three distinct volumes. This book designated as Volume 2 is devoted to information on the remote control of guns by means of synchros servos and power drives. The qualifications for this position can be found in the appendix at the back of this book. Volume 2 begins with an explanation of the fundamentals of director control. Chapters on synchros and follow-ups lead into discussions of the amplidyne York Safe & Lock and Ford power drive systems. This book represents the joint endeavor of the training Courses Section of the Bureau of Naval Personnel and of those Naval establishments especially cognizant of the technical aspects of Fire Control. During their long service life rangekeepers were updated often as technology advanced and by World War II they were a critical part of an integrated fire control system. The incorporation of radar into the fire control system early in World War II provided ships the ability to conduct effective gunfire operations at long range in poor weather and at night. A fire-control system FCS is a number of components working together usually a gun data computer a director and radar which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system to target track and hit a target. It performs the same task as a human gunner firing a weapon but attempts to do so faster and more accurately. The original fire-control systems were developed for ships. The early history of naval fire control was dominated by the engagement of targets within visual range also referred to as direct fire. Rapid technical improvements in the late 19th century greatly increased the range at which gunfire was possible. Rifled guns of much larger size firing explosive shells of lighter relative weight compared to all-metal balls so greatly increased the range of the guns that the main problem became aiming them while the ship was moving on the waves. This problem was solved with the introduction of the gyroscope which corrected this motion and provided sub-degree accuracies. Guns were now free to grow to any size and quickly surpassed 10 inches caliber by the 1890s. These guns were capable of such great range that the primary limitation was seeing the target leading to the use of high masts on ships. Another technical improvement was the introduction of the steam turbine which greatly increased the performance of the ships. Combined with the long range of the guns this meant that the target ship could move a considerable distance several ship lengths between the time the shells were fired and landed. In naval engagements it is also necessary to control the firing of several guns at once.<br /> Naval gun fire control potentially involves three levels of complexity. Local control originated with primitive gun installations aimed by the individual gun crews. Director control aims all guns on the ship at a single target. Coordinated gunfire from a formation of ships at a single target was a focus of battleship fleet operations. Corrections are made for surface wind velocity firing ship roll and pitch powder magazine temperature drift of rifled projectiles individual gun bore diameter adjusted for shot-to-shot enlargement and rate of change of range with additional modifications to the firing solution based upon the observation of preceding shots. The resulting directions known as a firing solution would then be fed back out to the turrets for laying. If the rounds missed an observer could work out how far they missed by and in which direction and this information could be fed back into the computer along with any changes in the rest of the information and another shot attempted.

Established in 1882 primarily to advance the Navy's modernization efforts4 it is the oldest member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and serves as the nation's premier source of maritime intelligence. Since the First World War ONI's mission has broadened to include real-time reporting on the developments and activities of foreign navies; protecting maritime resources and interests; monitoring and countering transnational maritime threats; providing technical operational and tactical support to the U.S. Navy and its partners; and surveying the global maritime environment. ONI employs over 3000 military and civilian personnel worldwide and is headquartered at the National Maritime Intelligence Center in Suitland Maryland. William H. Hunt who served briefly as Secretary of the Navy under President James Garfield formed a Naval Advisory Board tasked with rebuilding the Navy and bringing it up to par to global standards. Largely in response to Mason's recommendations on March 23 1882 Hunt issued General Order No. 292 which read: "An "Office of Intelligence" is hereby established in the Bureau of Navigation for the purpose of collecting and recording such naval information as may be useful to the Department in time of war as well as in peace. To facilitate this work the Department Library will be combined with the "Office of Intelligence" and placed under the direction of the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Commanding and all other officers are directed to avail themselves of all opportunities which may arise to collect and to forward to the "Office of Intelligence" professional matters likely to serve the object in view." The new Office of Naval Intelligence would be headquartered in the State War and Navy Building now the Old Executive Office Building with Mason appointed as its first "Chief Intelligence Office".note 1 As originally conceived ONI assisted in the Navy's advancement by dispatching naval attachés around the world to acquire data and resources related to the latest in naval warfare. These findings would be analyzed interpreted and disseminated to Navy leaders and government officials helping to inform policies and programs related to naval development. The Second World War would see another expansion of ONI's duties and a subsequent increase in its budget and staff. The office established two intelligence schools that trained hundreds of Intelligence officers for the Navy. Its Special Activities Branch offered critical intelligence on German U-boat technology operations and tactics which proved decisive in the Battle of the Atlantic. ONI supplied U.S. forces with ship and aircraft recognition manuals provided photographic specialists for identifying enemy vessels assisted in naval mission planning and was responsible for the translation evaluation and dissemination of intercepted Japanese communications.

The format is approximately 10 inches by 6 inches. Unpaginated 32 pages plus covers Illustrated covers. Illustrations photographs drawings silhouettes. Tabular data. O. N. I. 220-M--Axis Submarine Manual--was designed primarily for the masters and seamen of our merchant marine and for armed guard crews. This publication is deliberately nontechnical. Its purpose is to acquaint seafaring men with some of the characteristics and tactics of the raider which approaches unseen and strikes without warning. There are included in this publication the principal types of Axis submarines. Vichy French submarines are included as well so that the coverage of the leading continental naval powers will be more complete. The techniques described are largely from what we know of German methods. However it is believed that the principles discussed apply to the submarine forces of Italy and Japan with due consideration for national traits--caution and prudence in the case of Italy; reckless fanaticism in the case of Japan. The principal methods which are available to the master of a ship for thwarting his attacker are those of concealment and evasion. Thus strict adherence to sailing instructions with regard to darkening ship zigzagging and similar precautions is clearly indicated. This publication is an unclassified public document. Distribution should be made of its contents so that those men who must the the gauntlet of a worldwide submarine blockade will know the nature to the enemy that seeks to destroy them. Submarines can proceed on the surface at a speed of 18 knots or better. The submarine carries sufficient fuel to travel around the world. She also carries food and supplies for a cruise of several months' duration. Consequently the German submarine operating along the American littoral does not need to be refueled or serviced by "mother ships." There have been press reports that German submarines operating off the Atlantic seaboard have been refueled and have obtained supplies from disguised supply ships. This is quite possible. <br /> What definitely sends the submarine back home if she is not sunk or damaged by her enemy is the expenditure of her torpedoes. When the last bolt has been shot she must return home to get a new supply. Torpedoes and the human factor determine the endurance of the submarine. This second fact which may be easily overlooked by even seafaring men who are not accustomed to the cramped quarters of a submarine is one of considerable important. Submarine crews are likely to be tough and courageous but under the continual stress of war conditions unless frequently relieved and given comparatively long periods of rest and relaxation their morale may show signs of deterioration. The loss of several famous U-boat captains who were an inspiration to the entire German submarine service has no doubt had its effect on the less experienced commanders. One or two torpedo hits if properly placed will sink a large merchant vessel although there are many instances of tankers and other ships which have come home after sustaining a torpedo attack from an enemy submarine. Submarines are equipped with very efficient underwater sound devices which permit them to discover the presence and bearings of large surface vessels within a range of 5 miles. This equipment also permits a submerged submarine to keep an accurate track of the position of attacking destroyers and other antisubmarine units. Evasive maneuvers are facilitated by the high maneuverability and the relatively small turning circle of the submarine. The German submarines are reputed to have made considerable progress in reducing the noise of their own machinery and a submarine proceeding submerged at a speed of less than 3 knots is very difficult to pick up by even the best and most modern listening gear. To destroy a modern submarine by means of depth charges the charge must be exploded very near the submarine's hull. To open up that hull a 100-pound depth charge must be exploded within 15 feet from the submarine. The lethal distance is somewhat greater with heavier charges but in all cases in order to insure a kill the depth charge must be exploded close aboard.

The format is approximately 10 inches by 6 inches. Cover is three hole punched and has some wear and soiling. Unpaginated 32 pages plus covers Illustrations photographs drawings silhouettes. Terminology. Technical data. This is part of the ONI 54 series of warship recognition manuals. It includes information on the Fletcher Class Farragut Class Mahan Class Sims Class Benson Class Livermore Class Sumner Class of Destroyers along with information on other Destroyer classes with fewer associated ships. In 1941 the US Navy began building a fleet of large destroyers its first design to rival the Japanese "special type" destroyers that had first entered service more than a decade before. These 175 flush-deck "2100-tonners" became "in retrospect . . . the most successful of all American destroyers: fast roomy capable of absorbing enormous punishment and yet fighting on."2 Thanks to postwar service in the US plus fourteen foreign navies they remained a familiar sight around the world into the 1990s. The fourth of June 1942 was a significant day for the US Navy. In the mid-Pacific its aircraft sank four of Japan's six front-line aircraft carriers while turning back the invasion fleet at the Battle of Midway. Meanwhile at nearly the same hour seven time zones to the east the first of the 2100-ton Fletcher-class destroyers was commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard. Their design was a fine achievement balancing ruggedness and seaworthiness armament speed and protection on a classically-proportioned 376½-foot flush deck hull. Known at first as "US Destroyer No. 445" for the hull number of the lead ship the design incorporated ten torpedo tubes in two quintuple centerline mounts plus five 5-inch/38 caliber dual purpose guns anti-aircraft weapons and depth charges. At 2050 tons standard displacement and approximately 2900 tons fully loaded the Fletchers were significantly larger than any preceding American destroyer classes. Authorized for fiscal year 1941 construction of the first ships was already under way when the United States entered the war. In an emergency program to expand capacity some shipyards were upgraded and other new ones were brought on line. Eventually eleven shipyards launched 175 ships over the next 32 months—the most numerous class of destroyer completed by any navy. They were also the first US destroyers fitted with radar as built.<br /> The pace of US destroyer construction accelerated with the wartime Fletcher class. Laid down beginning in 1941 all 175 Fletchers were completed between June 1942 and February 1945 launched an average of 212 days after keel laying and commissioned after an average of 152 days more or 364 days total—nearly 10 per cent faster than the repeat Bensons and Gleaves that preceded them. The Fletchers are remembered as the signature US Navy destroyer class of the Pacific war. There the earliest ones saw action in the nighttime surface battles in the Solomon Islands many fought at Leyte and all completed in time for fleet screening and shore bombardment assignments and the notorious anti-kamikaze radar picket duty at Okinawa. While 19 were lost and six damaged beyond repair 44 earned ten or more service stars 19 were awarded the Navy Unit Commendation and 16 received the Presidential Unit Citation.

He has contributed music to Sesame Street and co-created and co-produced the PBS literacy education television program Between the Lions. Cerf's father was Random House co-founder publisher editor and TV panelist Bennett Cerf. Cerf also work as an author and satirist. In 1970 he helped launch the National Lampoon serving as a Contributing Editor from its first issue until the mid-1970s. Marina Albee was a Ph.D. student at The Harriman Institute at Columbia University in NYC in 1985. She decided to go there because of dynamic professor Jonathan Sanders who had organized the construction of an antenna on the roof of the Institute to watch Soviet television. Marina began to study the Soviet Union through its television and Mikhail Gorbachev's USSR was changing it every day. The inventor of the system went on tour to Moscow and she accompanied him to Gosteleradio. This led to a career spanning 30 years doing live satellite TV to TV and film production to music production to telecom servicing. She teaches at the European University at St. Petersburg. From Library Journal: This compendium of both published and unpublished letters sent to Ogonyok Russia's leading illustrated weekly provides vivid glimpses of Soviet citizens burning with rage at a state bureaucracy that has yet to experience glasnost and perestroika below the highest governmental levels. The Soviet substitute for Larry King Dear Abby and the Better Business Bureau this column serves a broader purpose than letters' columns in the United States and some of the stories recounted here--by retirees homemakers and parents of Soviet soldiers--are heartbreaking. Soviet society has never been portrayed in a more wretched light. - Robert Decker Columbia.
