1 The Eagle s Webbed Feet The Eagle s Webbed Feet A Maritime History of the United States A Maritime History of the United States A
2 Maritime History The United States is a maritime nation What does that mean? (83125 vs. 7514) Course themes: The United States has always depended on the navy for its power and status (or lack thereof) The history of the Navy very much aligns with the history of the Nation.
3 What We re Going to Do Revolution and the Demise of the Navy Build a New Navy To Defend a New Country More Wars & other tasks (The Civil War) Second Demise and Creation of another New Navy Transition from a Great Power to a Super Power Navy A Super Power s Navy in the Cold War and beyond
4 Opening Comments Strategy and Doctrine Questions, Questions, Questions Facts vs. Opinions My apologies to: The Marines The Merchant Marine The Coast Guard Your instructor is biased!
5 Revolution and the Demise of the Navy It follows as certain as night succeeds the day, that without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive and with it everything honorable and glorious. I have not yet begun to fight!
6 18 th Century Warships Classification 44 verses 74, etc.: Decks Rating Guns Throw weight Range Tactics The weather gage The aim point Raking The Line Frigates Strategy Guerre d escadre Guerre de course Letters-of-Marque
7 Weather Gauge Raking
8 American Maritime Advantages Coastal trade dominated communications Shipbuilding (1/3 of all English ships at ½ the cost) Lots of experienced builders, sailors & captains World wide traders, fisherman, & whalers. Lots of smugglers Substantial shipbuilding resources (wood)
9 American Maritime Disadvantages Lack of Cannon Lack of Powder An in-land attitude (by the decision makers) Fear of the Royal Navy
10 The Royal Navy The effects of the Seven Years War ( ) BIG empire to police (Canada, India) Severe budget issues Lost of American resources at a critical time Many ships not seaworthy Needed a minimum of 50 to patrol American coastal waters Had 29. Hubris
11 Getting Started Recognition of a need Rhode Island s navy (12 June 1775) Washington (Hanna) Washington s fleet (29 prizes) Individual states (11 created their own fleets ) Rhode Island s resolution (26 August 1775) Congress acts Buys the Alfred 13 October Andrew Doria, Cabot, and Columbus Alfred
12 Rhode Island s Resolution "for building at the Continental expense a fleet of sufficient force, for the protection of these colonies, and for employing them in such a manner and places as will most effectively annoy our enemies..." General reaction: "the maddest idea in the world. (Samuel Chase) "The opposition...was very loud and vehement. It was...represented as the most wild, visionary, mad project that had ever been imagined. It was an infant taking a mad bull by his horns. (John Adams)
13 Further Congressional Actions 10 November: Authorizes the Marine Corps 13 December: Authorized 13 frigates (to be built in the next 3 months!) Five 32 s Five 28 s Three 24 s John Adams writes a set of regulations Captains are chosen (not very well) First major naval action Nassau March 1776 HMS Glasgow 20 guns (April 1776) 8 against 1; a fiasco. Hopkins
14 Landing at Nassau
15 Valcour Island Aftermath of the Battle of Quebec (December 1775) British plan to split the colonies by controlling the Hudson River Both sides recognize the importance of Lake Champlain Benedict Arnold is sent to stop the British advance. Fleets are built (25 British (plus 50 barges), 15 American) Battle on October 11, 1776 was a clear British tactical victory. 11 ships lost to 3 British gunboats sunk However the delay would have monumental consequences British halt for the winter Sets up the Battle of Saratoga (Oct 77) and arguably leads to final victory France aligns with United States (February 78)
16 Battle of Valcour Island October 1776
17
18 Burgoyne Surrenders to Gates at Saratoga The result of superior use of sea power
19 The 13 Frigates Only eight eventually went to sea All were captured or sunk by Took a total of 41 prizes and one warship Penobscot Bay (July 1779) 42 American ships & 3000 militiamen 6 warships, 16 privateers & 20 transports Americans burned or surrendered all 42 Defense of Charleston (Nov 79) 4 warships and 5000 soldiers Lost 4 warships and 5000 soldiers.
20 The 13 Frigates (2) (Entire program lasted from 1776 until 1781) Washington Burned Effington Burned Congress Burned Montgomery Burned Virginia Captured Delaware Captured Warren - Burned Hancock Captured Randolph Sunk in combat Raleigh Captured Boston Captured Providence Captured Trumbull - Captured
21 Hancock & Boston take HMS Fox June 7, 1777 Hancock (32) Fox (28) Boston (24)
22 Privateers 2000 commissions were issued 55,000 American seaman served on privateers New London was the chief privateering port (Arnold s raid) 2208 British ships were captured by privateers (Lloyds) $1.5 billion in today s money Two edged sword Crews Cannon Ships In the final analysis, lot s of damage but not a war decider
23 Pride of Baltimore ll
24 Taking the War to Britain Lambert Wickes and the Reprisal (1777) Let Old England see how they like to have an active Enemy at their door. 23 prizes Much agitation between England and France Gustavus Conyngham and the Surprise (1777) 60 prizes in 18 months Significant agitation between England and France John Paul Jones and the Ranger (1778) Whitehaven HMS Drake French salute
25 Battle of Flamborough Head August 1779 Bonhomme Richard vs. Serapis I have not yet begun to fight! Embarrassing defeat for the RN
26 Jones was lionized 74 gun AMERICA Russian service
27 Were these raids important? Yes for three reasons 1.Insurance 2.British/French relations 3.Traditions that lasted up to today
28 The Other Father of the US Navy Commodore John Barry (Commissioned as captain in March 1777) Battles: 1775: Lexington (16) Captures the HMS Edward 1776: Lexington Battle of Turtle Gut Inlet (and a number of privateers) 1777: Delaware (28) captures a number of British merchants (Letter of Marque) 1778: Raleigh (32) three prizes as a commissioned vessel 1781: Alliance (36) - Captures HMS Alert, HMS Atalanta, Mars, Minerva, and the HMS Trepassey 1782: Captures a number of privateers and merchants 1783: Drove off three warships in one fight off Cape Canaveral.every quality of a great commander was brought out with extraordinary brilliancy..i have never seen a ship so ably fought as the Alliance.
29 John Berry First Flag Officer 1802 First Commissioned Officer (4) Easily the most consistently successful commander in the Continental Navy
30 France Joins In Alliance signed 17 June, In 1780 Rochambeau landed 6000 troops at Newport. A 1781 coordinated attack against the Chesapeake Bay was planned Washington & Rochambeau secretly march to Yorktown. Cornwallis marches to Yorktown and gets trapped. Meanwhile on 5 September the French Fleet defeats the Royal Navy at the Battle of Virginia Capes. 24 French ships keep 19 British ships from supplying Cornwallis Allow the French to resupply and reinforce the Allies Cornwallis surrenders on 19 October, 1781.
31
32 De Grasse Battle of the Virginia Capes
33 Sea Power at it s best "You will have observed that, whatever efforts are made by the land armies, the navy must have the casting vote in the present contest." George Washington
34 The End of the Navy Treaty of Paris 1783 (No more Royal Navy protection) By 1785 the last ship (Alliance) was sold for $26000 and the Navy was officially disbanded. General lack of money No war to fight anyway A Navy would cause wars, not prevent them Domestic vs. foreign interest predominate Coast Guard (Revenue Service) is formed in 1790 due to rampant smuggling However, there is no protection from pirates (or anyone else) Our flag is about as respected among the different nations as an old rag that s hung up in a cornfield to scare crows.
