This item is printed on demand. 58 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.2in.Excerpt from Our Navys Part in the Great WarOur First Line DefenseBy Josephus DanielsSecretary of the NavyThe more the American people know about their Nay and its achievements, the greater will be their pride and confidence in it. Our experiences in the war have convinced me that the Navy can accomplish any task it may undertake, and that it is ready and willing to undertake almost anything that needs to be done. In the war, the Navy was called upon to undertake many novel and untried tasks, but whenever any new and difficult duty was imposed, the entire service, from admirals to apprentice seamen, responded with enthusiasm and went at it with the initiative and energy which compelled success. When we were called upon to arm American merchant vessels, hundreds of expert gunners were required and many more guns than seemed possible to secure, of the calibres necessary. But we got the guns and the gunners, and it was not long before practically all American vessels sailing the war zone were armed and carried naval gun-crews. When war was declared we possessed few of the auxiliary vessels required for scouting, patrol and other duties, but they were secured. We needed five times as much anti-submarine craft, and we built submarine chasers and destroyers by the hundred. There were few transports available when the Navy was entrusted with the transportation of American troops to France, but, from small beginnings, the Cruiser and Transport Force was built up into a huge fleet. Two million American troops were safely transported to France, with large assistance from the British, and such aid as the French and Italians could furnish; about 950, 000 of these being carried over in American vessels. The manning and operation of troop-ships and cargo transports by the Navy required hundreds of crews. These were ready when required, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of tons of munitions and supplies were transported in vessels manned by the Navy. These joint operations of Army and Navy were conducted in the closest co-operation, and their success reflects the highest credit on both. In this war it has been in fact, as well as in name, a United Service. One of the most gratifying features of the war has been the close co-operation of the Allied navies.

Excerpt from Our Navy's Part in the Great War The growth of our Navy to more than half a million Officers and men, manning two thousand vessels, has been almost phenomenal; but no less so than the spirit and efficiency these men have displayed, their courage and enterprise in facing every danger and performing every duty imposed upon them. There has been no more striking instance of sea power than in this war, in which the Allies held control of the seas and, in spite of ruthless submarine warfare and the activity of raiders, at last compelled the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet. It is gratifying that our own Navy had a part in accomplishing this result; that it has played an important role in the greatest of wars and written a new and brilliant page in history. Stronger, larger, more powerful and efficient than ever before, the Greater Navy Is prepared to render greater service not only to the American people but also to preserve the peace of the world.
