I have generally taken it for granted that military histories are meticulously recorded in one form or another - naval operations citing deck logs screened for important tidbits of historical value supplemented by expert studies; interviews of important personages; and books and articles written by military academics or the participants themselves about this pivotal period in American military history. However, I was badly let down when I discovered that the naval operations and casualties involving smaller ships during the Vietnam War have been largely ignored. The paucity of recorded histories seemed inexcusable to me. It is a part of our military history that deserves attention because of the lessons that may be learned and the recognition of the courage of those involved regardless of whether the war was popular or not. These are my recollections of the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975. Several historical accounts taken from open-source material are included to provide the context and background of these experiences and those of the other contributors cited during this historical naval war fighting. The main focal point of this book is the surface ship arm of the U.S. Navy, the so-called "small boys," and how they all played a part in the conduct and subsequent closing moments of the Vietnam War. BOOK REVIEW - Haze Grey and Underway: A Memoir of U.S. Navy Surface Operations in the Western Pacific Supporting the Vietnam War, 1965 to 1975 (Vol. 1) Reviewed by Charles H. Bogart Captain Kaye provides an excellent account on his service in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War in the first volume of his memoir. He states that the reason he wrote this self-published book is that almost all of the books and articles about the U.S. Navy's presence in the Vietnam War focus on naval aviation. However, the author contends that the naval air war was only made possible by the direct and indirect support of a variety of non-aviation combat and non-combat ships, the "small boys." Kaye notes with sadness that the U.S. Navy cannot agree on which small boys saw service in the Vietnam War, but can provide detail accounts of the employment of its carriers and attached air units. The author mixes within his autobiographical account of his Vietnam-era service official documents that amplify his story. Included within both books are some excellent photos that enhance and bring to life the story. The heart of the book concerns the author's service on board two ships, as Salvage Office on USS Lipan (ATF 85) and as Weapons Officer and temporary XO on USS Richard D. Anderson (DD 786). Kaye entered the U.S. Navy via Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. Due to a shortage of officers onboard Lipan he qualified as OOD during his first bridge watch. Before reporting on board Anderson, the author received training to be the ship's Operation Officer, but with no background in gunnery, he was instead assigned to be the ship's Weapon Officer. The book is full of accounts about how dysfunctional the Navy became during the 1960s as it sought to fight an unpopular war with obsolete ships, 5-inch ammunition shortages, and a lower deck workforce pool that reflected all the racial turmoil that American society was then undergoing. His tale of a sailor armed with a loaded rifle holding the Captain of Lipan hostage and the Navy's response to this incident shows an institution that had lost its way. In contrast, his stories of Anderson on the gun line off of the coast of Vietnam tells the tale of American sailors giving their all to carry out the missions assigned to them. The author ends this book with an excellent list of YouTube videos showing U.S. Navy operations during the Vietnam War. This book is great. Hopefully, over the next few years, more surface sailors will follow in the footsteps of Captain Kaye and take the time to record in writing their experience in the U.S. Navy. Bogart is a frequent contributor to Naval History Book Reviews.

Assessment Of Surface Ship Maintenance Requirements written by Robert Button and has been published by Rand Corporation this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015 with Warships categories.
The Department of Defense is likely to face years of declining resources as the U.S. government grapples with fiscal challenges. These challenges affect every account, including those associated with surface ship maintenance and operations. At the same time, there has been widespread concern that surface ship materiel readiness is declining due to a high pace of operations and a sense that there have been many instances of deferred maintenance. The need to balance fiscal reality and a continued need for ready ships is likely to be an ongoing challenge. At the request of the Assessment Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, this report: (1) determines the impact on long-term fleet readiness, Operational Availability (Ao), and Expected Service Life (ESL) caused by near-term reductions in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) accounts; (2) recommends potential strategies to minimize negative impacts to Ao and ESL and maintain the largest, most capable fleet possible; (3) develops a maintenance requirement concept, per ship class, that supports ESL, but allows for some risk within the maintenance strategy; and (4) defines the risks to Ao and ESL resulting from the new requirement. The methodology could be applicable to multiple ship classes.

Over the past fifteen years, the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN's) missile fast-attack craft and amphibious fleets have been significantly modernized. While these two types of vessels have not increased in numbers, their capabilities have increased exponentially. This publication examines the People's Liberation Army's (PLA's) doctrine and training strategy in order to analyze present and predict future missions by these military vessels. China's deterrence posture is improved greatly by these ships and boats, which aid coastal water defense, and threaten Taiwanese attempts to gain independence. In addition, these two fleets improve China's long-range sealift capabilities, and help with the PLA's traditional, and new, nontraditional security practices. These fleets allow the PLAN to continue offshore operations, and begin "blue-water", or "far-seas" operations, helping the United States to predict the future nature of Chinese maritime missions.

This technical book presents in a concise and concentrated form all the essential aspects of operating a ship. These include the basics of buoyancy and propulsion technology, ship safety, occupational safety and environmental protection on board as well as important auxiliary equipment. These aspects are explained in more detail using numerous examples. The book is intended for ship's engineers at university, on board and in shipping companies as well as for design engineers in the shipyard. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Schiffsbetriebstechnik by Manfred Pfaff, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
