From 1923 to 1940, the US Navy conducted 21 “Fleet Problems” as it sought to understand, exploit and incorporate new technologies and capabilities while developing the tactics, training and procedures to employ the same should war present itself – which by the 1930s was beginning to look more and more likely to the discerning observer.

Leave a comment | By Steeljawscribe, on March 14th, 2010 SJS, Since the last post card not much else has changed out here. We are just approaching the International date line again. So soon we are going to repeat a day to catch up for the day we jumped over about eight months ago. So in preparation (or as a cruel joke) one of the [...] [...] March 14th, 2010 | Tags: Guest Author, Postcards from deployment | Category: Navy |
Leave a comment | By Steeljawscribe, on December 21st, 2009 In this age of (near) instantaneous contact via email or, where accessible, the various pieces of social media our deployed Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen can access, there is still nothing, and I do mean nothing, quite as satisfying as a letter or package that arrives in the mail. The whiff of perfume still tenuously [...] [...] By Steeljawscribe, on November 29th, 2009 With this submission, CINCLAX’s in-depth review of this part of the Solomons campaign is complete. I think you will agree with me that considerable thought and work went into these articles and join me as a hearty “BZ” is passed his way. On the horizon – inthe next few weeks we will wrap up the [...] [...] November 29th, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, Solomon Islands Campaign | Category: Joint Warfare |
Leave a comment | By Steeljawscribe, on November 27th, 2009 We resume the quite comprehensive articles provided by CINCLAX as part of the ongoing Solomon Islands Campaign blog project. With the exception of some noteworthy battles at sea and on land, the Solomons campaign slogged on in near anonymity, except for those doing the fighting. We would learn much in the process – about joint [...] [...] November 27th, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, Solomons Campaign | Category: history lessons, Joint Warfare |
Leave a comment | By Steeljawscribe, on November 22nd, 2009 The next four posts will cover the invasion of Bougainville and are provided via guest author CINCLAX.- SJS The Last Spoke in the Cartwheel Strategic Progress Before the Guadalcanal operation (Watchtower) even began in August 1942, it had been decided to neutralize the Japanese bastion of Rabaul by moving up the Solomons one step at [...] [...] November 22nd, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, Solomons Campaign | Category: history lessons |
One comment | By Steeljawscribe, on October 21st, 2009 Bryan McGrath, lead author of CS21 (as it is coming to be called in shorthand) stopped by in the comments section in the previous post to leave the commentary now shown below. I opted (head nod to Peter S. per our earlier discussion) to elevate it to a post of its own for wider dissemination [...] [...] October 21st, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, The Maritime Strategy | Category: Maritime Strategy |
5 comments | By Steeljawscribe, on September 17th, 2009 Checking in from deployment, Charles passes a review of one of Skippy-san’s most favorite locations in the Far East – Singapore (we’ll let Skippy wax eloquent on the joys therein on the comments if he’s of such a mind and can tear himself away from an ongoing email war ) And “ship’s liaison group” instead [...] [...] September 17th, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, Postcards from deployment | Category: Navy |
6 comments | By Steeljawscribe, on September 15th, 2009 Guest writer Chuck Hill joins us this week with Part II of his detailed write-up on the surface action off Guadalcanal in November 1942. Lots of lessons to be applied to today (see the roll-up at the end). BTW – whilst composing this submission he became a grandfather, so we lift a major league ‘mazal [...] [...] September 15th, 2009 | Tags: Guest Author, Solomon Islands Campaign Blog Project | Category: history lessons, Navy |
