but the navy was his great love. and he writes in 1882 that naval war of the 1812, amazing stories he's writing about in those two books. it was taught at the naval academy forever and the naval war college, it's still the classic. he was writing this as a young man, this big two-volume thing on the war of 1812. and if you really read that you'll see how much he loves american -- the way america won up the british the way oliver hazard perry in erie, pennsylvania, was able to build a fleet and take over the ohio islands against the british. and a kind of feeling of american exceptionalism is exuding him as a young man. he defines himself not just as a darwinian but also as a mohanian, named after alfred thayer mohan, who believed that great power countries in the world, real politik countries that mattered japan and britain in particular, knew how to take care of their shore lines their homeland security in today's parlance. that meaning roosevelt gets from reading mohan's influence of sea power power, that we've got

the navy is critical and very important to this nation's prosperity. so it is important people understand the role of the navy, understand how we got to where we are, and understand, for us the evolution of the aircraft carrier. world war ii essentially saw the first aircraft carrier. that was the invention or the operations of the first aircraft carrier. the japanese proved how strong and how important aircraft carriers could be. we took that and evolved it during the course of world war ii. and now aircraft carriers are the centerpiece of our seapower. so it is important -- we think it is important that people sort of understand that, but put it in context of the history that came before it. >> throughout the weekend american history tv is featuring corpus christi, texas. our staff recently traveled there to learn more. learn more about corpus christi and other stops at c-span.org/local content. you are watching american history tv, all weekend every weekend on c-span-three. >> each week, american history tv's "american artifacts" visits different ci

it belonged to the united states navy in the past years. like the british device, it was important to get clues in the morning. once you were able to obtain this, you could begin the process during this is basically like the british device. a giant calculating machine guessing machine that helps you with the head start and finally get, in this case, a four rotor setting. it is not easy. it took a very long time, eight to 12 hours, sometimes longer. it took a lot of very good cryptologic work. a lot of linguists, personal. by the end of the day, with some exceptions, they were able to get the four rotor settings. with that, they could do one of two things. they could send out tactical unit to destroy the pack, because they knew the location and sometimes the convoys were at sea, in those cases, they could radio the captain to help them understand where the danger lies. many historians believe that this project helped to shorten the war by one year. basically because it helps to resecured the north atlantic. other historians disagree with tha

in 1938, the navy did an investigation on the best suitable location for a naval air station. when the authorization came from congress to establish a naval air station, there were 12 in all, including corpus christi. this was the biggest and the best and it remains over these 75 years so vitally, critically important in the defense of the united states. >> paris, undefended, fell like a ripe plumb into the basket of conquest. >> world war ii having already begun, it just made clear the urgency of getting a naval air station. the funding was authorized to be $24 million. by the time they finished, it was well over $100 million. andrew bigger and bigger, and thus the need for additional auxiliary fields. eventually there would be five of them for the primary or intermediate or advanced training, instrument training. eventually this became the largest naval air station not just in the united states, but in the world. by the time of the dedication in march of 1941 the main station was 70% completed by that time. they already were bringing and cadets also at that time for the trai

it will be a very emotional day for the 400 folks and everyone here at the navy yard. that building will reopen this morning. we will get a chance to look inside. but we're told that everything is new from top to bottom. a new cafeteria, new offices, even the paint and the carpet. it's a $6.4 million renovation. really designed to erase those horrible memories of september 16, 2013. of course we all remember that day. it was that morning that former contractor aaron alexis roamed the halls of the navy sea systems command headquarters with a sawed off shotgun. police eventually killed that mentally ill man but not before he took the lives of 12 innocent people inside. in fact, the entrance where the first person who was killed, a 52-year-old security guard, that entrance has now been moved. there is a brand new entrance and inside that new entrance, the one and only sign of that deadly shooting. it is a memorial to the 12 people who lost their lives here. so again about 4,000 people in all are expected to come, 400 each day. so of course it's going to be a long process,

navy cryptologic device. there were over 100 of these built out of dayton, ohio. they were put on trains and moved to a facility just off nebraska avenue. that facility today is owned by the department of homeland security but in past years, it belonged to the united navy. i like the british device, it's important to get clues in the morning and once you are able to obtain those, you can obtain the process. it's like a giant calculating machine that can help you with a head start and window down and finally get before rotor settings. it's not easy. it became a very long time eight to 12 hours will stop sometimes longer. good cryptologic work, a lot of linguists and support personnel but by the end of the day, we were able to get the forerunner settings and could do one of two things. sometimes the convoys were at sea, sometimes they can radio the captains to understand where the gains it your way. it helped to re-secure the north atlantic. other historians disagree but there's consensus on one critical point, which is that it ultimately saved thousands and thousan

the challenge for the department and navy and for the marine corps and navy force themselves are too big challenges. one of those is being able to reset their aviation arm, especially older model fa 18's. the devil backlog is a long-standing issue. it has been built up with 13 years of continuous combat as well as the whole redundancy quest ration for 23 -- for 2013. the navy has a backlog of ships to get back to the shipyards. we are working through the models as well. just touching briefly on special operations command, they are balance -- they are balancing. they have largely been untouched by readiness. they are resetting their force from being largely afghanistan to being that global counterterrorism force. that is going to take time to reset them as well. i have two slides to briefly touch upon for compensation. this is another area the department has spent a great deal of time on. there are guiding principles that we used. retirement for military compensation and largely follow the same principles. this budget submission this not reflect the commission recommendations. they us
