"the influence of seapower upon history" uses history specifically of the british empire as a means of making observations about the role of maritim

the other naval academy still goes on. you see various people at various points advocating for one so for example, john quincy adamswhen he was president in the late 1820s . he made the establishment of a naval academy one of the centerpieces of his agenda. he came pretty close to being able to establish it but ultimately failed. and in large part due to 's in politics with jacksonians. >> then there's this basic attitude of the navy which is different from the army and there's an attitude that when it comes to naval officers and their education, being on a ship at sea while the best way to educate them. so before the establishment of the naval academy, a young man who was in the navy's midshipmen would go out on active duty ships at sea and the training and education they received was a combination of classroom instruction on board the ship . and subjects like mathematics, astronomy, foreign languages. and then also practical training and navigation, seamanship, gunnery. along those lines. so it's meant to be this combina

the united states naval academy was established originally in maryland, annapolis. of course, maryland was not quite loyal to the union and not quite disloyal to the confederacy. the decision was made to move the naval academy from its location at annapolis, maryland, and break it up to newport, rhode island. they installed the midshipmen at the naval academy at the atlantic house hotel, which was located in central newport. the building is no longer there, but the legacy of the naval academy in newport during the civil war looms very large and understanding how the united states navy evolved. later on in the 1880's and academythe mids at the during the civil war studied under instructors like stephen b loose, and alfreloose, and alfrm ehan the word training midshipman at the academy. among the other proteges, alfred thayer mehan is probably the most known. here we have a signed photograph of him, who unfortunately died in 1914 just as the first world war was developing. meahn his best-known for his works on seapower. ofhave the exact copy influence of sea power upo

in 2008, i was a recruited athlete inducted into the united states naval academy. ior to acceptance, my parents were concerned for my safety given the then-sexual assault scandal unfolding at another academy. during a campus visit, my parents and i were told by naval academy representatives including my coaches and the athletic including director that the naval academy did not have a sexual assault problem and i would be safe. shortly after the academic year began, i experienced two horrible and traumatic events. i was raped not only once, but twice. both times my fellow classmates to facempany, who i had every day. my emotional state began to deteriorate and i went to the naval academy medical facility. during intake, told the training physician i had been raped. they did not ask when, where, but simply check the box on my intake form and prescribed me an antidepressant. these events set the tone for my remaining two years at the naval academy. the culture of the academy is that of a boys-only club where men are considered superior to women, women are repeatedly re

the men who were at the naval academy studied under instructors like stephen b. luce ehan who wereheram midshipmen the academy. we have a signed photograph of whoed thayer mahan, unfortunately die just as the first world war was developing. he is best known for his works on seapower. here we have the exact copy. this is actually the copy that mahan gave to president theodore roosevelt. theodore roosevelt, being who he was, there a much enjoyed studying history. you can see the inscription from mahan to theodore roosevelt. with best wishes and compl iments. the influence of seapower on history uses history as a means of making observations about the the of maritime strategy in interest of the nation. what mahan is grappling with is the interrelation of politics, diplomacy, and the use of naval forces to support the free trade and economic interests of the nation. mahan, looking to britannia as an opportunity for the united states after the civil war to take a place at the table as a maritime power in its own right. alfred thayer mahan and theodore roosevelt were ve

and i wonder what the naval academy and rotc and ocs for that matter are doing about that. that's the first fundamental, the moral fiber, ethical fiber of the u.s. navy has been called into question. and then go on to bob work this morning, and bob's discussion about how we have bias in favor of presence rather than capability. the fundamental question, why did we do that? and then, the most recent panel this morning, gerry roncolato and others, apparently some of our sailors don't know how to operate ship control console. their officers at the deck don't understand the rules of the road. there are c.o.s who don't enforce their night orders. it's pretty fundamental. i think it calls into question how did we get into this situation in which the very fundamentals of our navy are called into question. i would love to hear an answer. >> well, robby, i tried to address that in my remarks. so i'll submit those for the record. if you will. so it's a combination. there are systemic issues that are at play here. i think we would all agree, i would call those contributing factors. th
