navy. who was josephus daniels and how did he get picked to be the secretary of navy? >> well, daniels was a newspaper editor. he owned "the raleigh news and observer," and the short answer to how he became secretary of the navy is politics. the longer answer is that he had been an important player at the national level for the democratic party. he had been a member of the democratic national committee for 20 years. more specifically he had played an important role in helping wilson get nominated and then also in helping wilson get elected. and so wilson came to see daniels not only as an important political figure but also as a valuable personal aide, and he wanted him in the cabinet, and in anticipation of there not being a war, you know, it was 1913, who would have anticipated that the country was going to go to war, he really just wanted daniels to be a political adviser, and that's how daniels ended up in the secretary of the navy's position. he had no military experience, no naval exp

and so he, unlike his admirals who saw the navy fairly clearly in marshall terms, daniels saw the navyas a big vocational school. he thought it was a place where young men could enter and learn a trade and then leave with a skill for the private sector. in addition he focused heavily on the moral improvement of the young men who entered the navy. specifically he thought that they should come into the navy and leave the navy without ever having consumed alcohol and also without visiting a house of prostitution in a navy port. so he spent a good bit of time cleaning up the red light districts around the port and he also banned alcohol from the ships and bases. and it's from that that we get the expression cup of joe because when he banned alcohol there was an increase in the coffee rations and the sailors would somewhat angrily refer to it as a cup of josephus daniels and it was shortened to a cup of joe. so he had these conflicts with the leadership of the navy. and those ran more or less throughout his tenure as secretary. once war came initially, of course, when war begins in europe t

powerful navy in the world. and so, he really flips almost 180 degrees in his view of the navy. he realizes what the united states needs is not a good trade school, but what it needs is the world's largest, unambiguously, the most powerful navy. although the u.s. had ships in the pacific before, this is where the expression the "two-ocean navy" comes from. you need a navy-building program that will basically give you the largest navy in the world split between the atlantic and the pacific. and partly, this stems from what i was talking about earlier with respect to his views of the germans and the british. the germans always thought the american administration and the american public work zehat pro-british, and arguably, they were. but again, daniels was not. he was as ready to prepare for t the next war against the british as he was to prepare for the next war against the germans or the japanese, or whomever that might be.ter so, after he advises wilson on the danzig and polish question,a and after he advises w

[applause] >> ♪ >> in the fall of 1941, america began to challenge the growing terming u-boat menace in the atlantic with an unofficial naval war. in asia, the u.s. exerted pressure on japan to end its four-year war with china and recent occupation of french indochina. receiving no acceptable japanese response, the u.s. on the number 26 issued an ultimatum to japanese leaders to cease hostilities and withdraw forces or face continued economic sanctions. japan's leaders decided to fight instead. admiral yamamoto, commander of the japanese fleet, had serious misgivings. because of america's industrial superiority, japan would have to win the war quickly. because of those misgivings, he insisted on opening the war with a crippling attack on the u.s. pacific fleet at pearl harbor, hawaii. a strike force of six carriers under command of the admiral moved east across the pacific toward hawaii. based on decoded ja

the royal navy has been beaten. sir george prevost sitting up there at kent-delord sees the colors come down looking over the lake. and when he does, he knows the battle is lost. he knows he no longer has control of the water. he knows he doesn't have the american ships he planned to capture, to take the fleet down the lake. there's no point going on with the battle. the american infantry at this point, there's no point to it at all. he is going to save his troops to fight another day. as a result, sir george withdraws from plattsburgh, pulling his troops out, his three brigades, artillery, his families. they start heading north to canada. the battle is over, the americans have won. winston churchill said that it was the most important battle of the war. it was the most decisive battle of the war of 1812, here. two days later, the british will fight the americans at baltimore. >>> when the naval battle was over and the british withdrew, all that was left were the dead and the wounded and the american forces. out on

finally, the navy is coming. now they wanted to come south even earlier but they couldn't because the south wind coming up the lake kept them from sailing south. this is the days of sail. you've got to wait for the winds to be right. that's what the army and navy are waiting for. he doesn't have that problem because he's already in the bay and moored and waiting. things are getting anxious. finally, the night of the 10th, they're able to come down the lake, come south towards plattsburg toward canada, the entire navy fleet. four ships, confiance in the lead and a dozen gun boats. 70 men on a gun boat and one cannon. and those gun boats are supposed to get close to the american fleet underneath the guns and put holes in the sides of the american fleet and sink them. so you've got them buzzing around when the british come into the bay and this whole thing starts, the british guns can fire a mile and a half. where the american guns can only shoot 500 yards. so if the british royal navy is kept away, if they can sail

navy department. office of naval intelligence was created back in 1883 as part of a reform movement in the u.s. military that led to the development of the first permanent intelligence organizations in u.s. history. in fact, it still exists. by the time world war i had come along -- well, started out as sort of progressive forward thinking organization but by the time world war i rolled around it was in the doldrums, small organization, not effective, not well respected. during the war, the navy's intelligence efforts were the least productive and sophisticated of those ul of all the government intelligence agencies. they prepared in advance for espionage. in june 1915 navy secretary daniels approved a plan to expand the naval attache system to allow it to do secret work. in may 1916 the chief of naval operations to, quote, select rye liable part andxc

one was with releasing contracts for navy supplies.and another was you may recall a little while ago i spoke about cleaning up red light districts. if the local politicians would not aid in that effort daniels would go to the congressional representatives and the governors and would threaten to with hold money from those port areas if they didn't do what he wanted to do with respect to cleaning up red light districts. so that is just a couple of examples of how he would use that. so it wouldn't surprise me. i can't recall exactly that issue but it wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't the issue involved there. i'll cut off there. >> one more question. >> would you touch on daniels' enlisting of female personnel? and what was his relationship with secretary baker? >> i was invited because daniels essentially created the role of women in the navy. it was the 100th anniversary of his order establishing roles for women in the navy. i was invited to speak at the navy memorial in washington, d.c. and in commemoration of that event. and so as i

which was a major defeat of the french navy. and one of the most celebrated victories up until the battle of trafalgar. it certainly change the dynamics of the war. it is a good illustration of the thin line between success and failure. that it was degrasse who defeated the british for the first time since the 1690's. then he himself was defeated, much as horatio gates -- was himself defeated by cornwallis. and you have won. we can take one last question. >> were the caribbean colo nies the source of financial support to the colonies in rebellion in the north? >> not the british islands. although there were a lot of merchants sending things from british islands to dutch islands . a lot of the military people said that piracy reigns free here. but the french and dutch island s became the critical sources of supply to north america especially this little dutch island of st. eustacious. there were 500 warehouses there. sometimes as many as 200 american ships off the island. bonmarche who is known as the playwright who wrote " marri

the idea here was that, well, the royal navy was blockading many german harbors. the u-boats could be used to get out past the blockade and go far afield and sink vessels that were merchant ships that were carrying those supplies. and this was very, very effective. however, it was somewhat ineffective in that -- at least early on -- it was a somewhat gentlemanly way of fighting with a submarine. submarines predominantly are a very good offensive weapon but a very terrible defensive weapon so their success lies in their stealth, in their ability to have these kinds of surprise attacks. whether they first started this war on commerce, there was a lot of concern over it being sort of poking the beast of a lot of neutral nations. when they declared the areas around the british isle were a war zone and they'd sink vessels that weren't necessarily involved in the conflict but were simply carrying merchant cargo to places like the united states, south america, other places that weren't involved. so they wanted to try and mitigate the losses that they had in that. they ob

navy that you could sink battleships using aircraft. and a lot of that -- a lot of those test demonstrations were done off the coast here of virginia, and some more limited in north carolina. and they were quite successful in proving that aircraft and air power was a naval asset. so the ospreyland is a shipwreck that people do dive off of virginia's quite deep. i think there's only been a handful of people that have dove it. the new jersey and virginia are in about 250 to 300 feet of water. so they're tricky dives. but you know, there's a whole another layer when we're looking at this area, we kind of looked at it from this battlefield archaeology and we're looking at it from this broader idea of this maritime cultural landscape. we're looking at other facets other than just world war i and world war ii and we've started to look at this sort of these noncombat military losses, which are the billy mitchell fleets, as well. so it's very interesting. and i would say that the -- the merchant marine connection to a lot of the work that we ar

and there's been a tendency in recent years, books by navy s.e.a.l.s, press conferences by navy s.e.a.l.srnment is getting a little upset about it. >> so what if he may have breached something, broken some law, et cetera? this is an american hero who took out this generation's hitler. would they really go after him hard? would he get a break because of his background, because he's a veteran and he's not just any veteran? >> they would absolutely go after him. here's why. they've done it in the past. the department of defense, the department of justice, they've gone after people -- this is not the first time a former operative has written a book. it's important to understand that these operatives after they're out of the service are free to speak and tell their story. however, this is a contract analysis. in other words, they signed an agreement, entered into an agreement to either not disclose or to submit for prepublication review anything they plan to disclose. and there's no straight answer as to whether or not it was violated. the answer is whether one of the parties believes it is vi

navy. they were used to protect the panama canal imports and whatnot but a veteran skipper said look, this boat is designed as a killer. what other vessels we have can go into an enemies harbor and destroy ships? so they reformulated the entire strategy. that time period between the two wars was a very pivotal one. all of this of course builds up to when the war starts, submarine warfare is all about destroying the japanese economy. world war ii ind in the pacific, think about it, a lot of attention was focused on battles like midway. battles that are over, decide in a matter of minutes. aircraft tears are destroyed and whatnot. the submarine war was one that was lovely conflict by convoy, ship by ship, over 1347 days. to the point that by the end they had so distorted japan's economy, largely its ability to import oil from the netherlands, dutch east indies, that they literally had to park aircraft carriers. they used kamikaze fighters because they did have enough fuel to train people in n

and they were saved by a ship of the italian navy, and the italian navy is what made the operation. continuing on a low scale it seems at the moment, being phased out, but continuing, and it is an italian navy ship that rescued these people. >> the politics is leaning more towards keeping people out. >> what is happening at the doors of europe, when we are talking about six for the syrians. 3 million syrians in turkey, lebanon, and jordan. these people are educated. they have money. they are professionals. they have children. if you think they are going to wait for a decade that someone takes care of them, it's not going to happen. they are going to come anyway. it would be much better for europe to put in place a resettlement program that could take place over a number of years, five, six, eight years, decide on a number like a million or a million and a half syrians who would come to europe, but also to canada and north america, this should be done in partnership with other countries of the global north and announce this, and invest in the resources necessary to carry it out quick
