America’s Navy dominates the nautical environment; and I, as a member of its ranks, endeavor to fully provide it with the due esteem and admiration worthy of it.

To quote the late Scottish poet Robert Burns: “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” This quote never meant much to me until I watched all of my dreams come crashing down around me on a cold, snowy day in December. I’ll start from the beginning. Since I was young I’d wanted to be in the military. My mother and father always told me stories of their time in the Pineville High School JROTC, (Junior Reserved Officer Training Corps, a type of military training for highschool students)…

powered ship was created for the U.S. Navy in 1815 by Robert Fulton. In 1850 the U.S. Navy started to make all new warships with steam engines and this would power the ironclads that would be used later on in the civil war. In the late 1850’s cannon manufacturing was on the rise enabling military forces more accurate, longer-ranged guns (Civil War Trust, Steel & Steam: Naval Technology in the Civil War Era: http://www.civilwar.org/education/history/navy-hub/navy-history/steel-steam.htm , Rodger…

explain these things and how they shaped me to be how I am. The U.S. Navy has been in my mind for a while, it has been a big step in life to enlist.

defensive, evidenced through the Civil War. In the context of the Navy, one of the latest technological innovations is aviation; it was being integrated into the Navy before World War I, but wasn’t advanced enough to be of any major strategic use until World War II. For this reason, the strategic and tactical impact of aviation is most visible through the scope of World War II. With the advent of aviation and its integration into the Navy came a shift in naval strategy and tactics; this…

The Navy has always been interesting to me, being that a majority of my family was in the military. I have had my eye on going into the business field ever since I was little, so I figured I could do what I enjoy while serving this country. I always used to think that the Navy would only accept strong and masculine woman in order to be in the Navy, but talking to my mother, a former Navy Seal, you just have to be dedicated. My plan is to become a business manager in the Navy because I am…

tried to enforce the importance of naval dominance. He had believed that the nation’s eminence was inseparably associated with naval power. Other than mentioning that the country requires colonies to provide a geostrategic military, he says that the navy will provide a strong defense force against enemies trying to interfere with their trade, which would then disturb the economy and power. Mahan tried to enforce the idea that the sea is key to achieving world dominance, and America needed world…

William Cohen, former Secretary of Defense, clearly explained the mission of the Navy when he stated, “If you don’t have that forward deployed presence, you have less of a voice, less of an influence” (“The Carriers,” n.d.). The Navy constantly strives to improve and modify their technology and tactics in order to maintain a strong military and stay one step ahead of the enemy (Wilson, 1966). A vital transition for the United States was on 20 March 1922 when the USS Jupiter (AC3) was converted…
