A boy band would not usually be included in such a notable group of musicians like this unless it is NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys. Even so, One Direction is a group that will stand the test of time because they have many fans, they are original, and they have won many awards. In…

It was 40 years until the United States was introduced to the naval vessel known as the destroyer. It began in 1866 when Captain Giovanni Luppis of the Austrian Navy had invented the self-propelled torpedo which changed sea warfare forever. With the invention of these torpedoes combined with small cheap speed boats known as torpedo boats caused real trouble for the larger combat vessels known as battleships. Torpedo boats did this by either overwhelming them with their sheer numbers combined…

" Jack started "The navy needs extra funding to modernize our current cruisers and get out a new design. We certainly cannot use the CGX as it has the same problem as the Zumwalt of being too expensive. I'm thinking of an altered design of the Arleigh Burke Flight III Class that would focus more on the necessary specifications of a cruiser. Much like how the Ticonderoga Class was derived from the Spruance Class. The navy also needs more funds to create a new class of ballistic missile…

Introduction Leaders have an important role in society. Leaders have to practice the best measures in which he or she can become a more effective leader by building up his or her leadership skills. In order to improve leadership skills there are changes that a leader will have to adapt to help him or her to be successful. Effective leaders motivate themselves and others to be the best in their field of study. In other words a good leader will build their own capacity as well as the capacity…

projectiles, drones, and other unmanned aerial vehicles (Anthony, 2014). In addition, the high-powered laser was able to melt holes on the hulls of armored ships. In the near future, the Navy hopes to launch its Littoral Combat Ships, as well as the Arleigh-Burke class Destroyers, deployed with the Laser Weapon System (Freedberg, 2014). These systems would act as short-ranged, self-defense systems against drones, boats, and incoming enemy projectiles. LaWSs would replace defensive missiles and…

Kennedy ordered the CIA to get the brigade out of Cuba, but escape options were never planned or discussed. By April 19th the brigade began to surrender. Of The 1300 men sent to attack Cuba 1200 were captured and the other 100 were killed. Admiral Arleigh Burke urged Kennedy to assist using military effort; Kennedy wanted to keep up his appearances so he refused. Chief of CIA Operations, Richard Bissell, was displeased with the President that he would not intervene when he had U.S. armed forces…

Anti-submarine warfare, also known as ASW, is an essential part of sea control and a top priority for America’s Navy. As Chinese and Russian submarine forces grow and operate further away from their respective countries, America becomes within striking distance. US ships including Military Sealift Ships and other Navy ship are potentially in danger of being targeted and attacked by these elusive threats. The US Navy is coming up with new and effective ways to combat this potential threat. ASW…

In 1917, Loretta Walsh became the first woman to enlist in the United States Navy. Flash forward to modern times, Defense Secretary Ash Carter makes a dire call to the military to allow women to assume any and all combat roles. Eradicating the gender barriers set forth by previous generations. As a young woman nearing the age of adulthood, I am at crucial point. Should I follow in my parents footsteps or explore the exhilarating world of engineering? I have always admired people who are willing…

Fishing with Coconuts It was 0215 on the twelfth day of February and our Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer was cruising the Indian Ocean. I was in the middle of a watch, patrolling the main deck. Feeling the effects of sleep deprivation and being nowhere close to the end of my watch, the night started to become routine. As I had done numerous times before, I swung open the hatch to the weather deck and began to step out and into the pitch-dark night. By an unfortuitous…

Enemies, threats such as anti-ship missiles, speed boats, submarines, shore-based cruise missiles, littoral threats, sea mines, ballistic missiles, or asymmetric threats, missions/operations, technologies alter drastically. They require new capabilities for naval vessels. Modularity provides necessary quality attributes, reduced operational downtime, reduced shipbuilding costs, decreased construction time and many more military benefits that minimize the challenges faced. This study examines…
