i've is how the navy will manage this. for the marine corps, the request of decisions made last year that may ground systems more sound. the marine corps clearly remains committed to the revitalization and the budget request requires upgrades. it continues a competitive search for a new amphibious combat vehicle. we understand that the amphibious combat vehicle program would incorporate a number of technologies. the marine corps has described this as -- quote non-developmental, which raises questions of why that is. i'm interested on your comments of what this full program is. it is also a challenge on what general dunford has called a gap. sometimes, loss in that discussion -- i know that the navy's plan purchase is one effort to address the shipping shortfall. i'm interested in knowing what else will mitigate the gap to ensure that our amphibious gap is capable and ready. issued a generator 2012, followed by the two 2014 and this january, all at goa a new orientation on the asia-pacific. consistent with that strategy, the

officially, the confederate navy has her on the list, official navy register as the next ship to be officially commissioned. however, the war is winding down and the confederacy is collapsing. there is no crude for the jackson available yet. during the battle of columbus, she sat at the navy yard. the navy guys never could come aboard and get her steam up. there wasn't enough men available to do this. it sat there during the battle and did nothing. it's a nice showpiece, so to speak. the next morning on the 17th wilson's men came into the navy yard and they started burning everything. they can't leave a viable weapon like this behind them, so they stuff flammables all over the ship and they set it on fire and they cast it loose into the river. for two weeks, this vessel is slowly floating downstream the chattahoochee and burning. there is a debris field between here and the final wreck sites. i finally caught -- it finally got caught in the bend of the river, and she sank. the water finally put out the fires, and we have what is left of her now. her length is 225 feet long and she's 57 feet wi

the navy developed a strategy. do you see the arctic as an emerging area of the strategic importance, national security importance, to this country? >> senator i do. i think we need to look at it deliberately and understand it. therefore things like isecs, we need to do it more frequently, get industry up there and study the place. find out when is it going to melt. what are the sea lines of communication that will open? are there territorial disputes? who has them. are there threats? russia is increasing their military presence sort of makes sense and that that is where a sea line of communication is. but, also how do we survive up there? our ships, our aircraft and our people. >> i think just a simple example about infrastructure, ice breakers. we have one heavy duty, one medium duty coast guard. the russians have 17. ice breakers in the arctic. and if we're talking about innocent passage, trade ice breakers are the highway builders, if you will. and that is an area, i know it is not a naval question but that is a

the navy spent about 40 billion dollars a year on contracts. until a couple of years ago, we could not track that money from the time you appropriate and authorize it until he got to the contract. we can today. we are saving today, 10% per year. $4 billion per year on contracts. we can do better than that. those are hard things. those are not easy things. the last thing is there's really for parts to the department of defense. five parts. for services. three departments. army, navy, air force. but there are also the department of defense, defense agencies that are all overhead. they have grown far faster than the army services. senator manchin every time: we talk about the lack of resources or money, it is always reduction of force, how effective are people on the front line. when we look at your staff, the staff keeps growing and growing even though you talk about reduction of force. it doesn't make sense why we go to the front line immediately and have a reduction of forest when the staff has made no sacrifice. secretary malbus: can i take a s

and so for the first few i months through the middle of 1861 through early 1862 the federal navy the union navy was buying up every ship it could find not just building lots of new warships, but purchasing every civilian ship they could put a gun on and using it on the blockade. and the thinking was well, we don't need to blockade the coast, we just need lots of ships. we don't need lots of warships because they're not going to be going into combat a lot. and that's probably right. so the union navy expanded during the course of the war from maybe 40 or 50 ships on active service to, i think, over 600. and the vast majority of those were on the blockade around southern ports. the blockade became much more effective as the war went on because, simply because the navy, the union navy expanded so much at the very beginning of the war. the first ship appeared on the blockade off of galveston was the uss south carolina appeared off galveston in july of 1861 and it was just one ship. to blockade not just galveston but the entire texas coast. but, of course more came after that and it expand

the navy begins building at in order to protect this important site. there was the fear that the union navy would mount an attack up the chattahoochee river in order to take the city. the reason that columbus is important is because of the industrial capacity. they are producing a, uniforms munitions. this is where the columbus depot was. the uniforms produced here went largely to the western army. this is an internal way for the confederates to produce their own material rather than having to import so much from outside. construction began in 1862 and she was launched into the river in 1864. wilson's raid came through. the battle of columbus took place in 1865. james wilson is a union cavalry officer. their job was to attack the states of alabama and georgia. their goal was to destroy important targets like columbus because of industrial output. they wanted to disrupt supply lines and communications, anything to further along the collapse of the confederacy. an ironclad like the jackson would be used at a port city. if there was an approaching army, th

for the first few months the union navy would buy a pair of reship it could find not just building new warships but purchasing every civilian ship to use it on of blockade. not just for the coast to not go into combat a lot. that is probably right so the union navy expanded the very first for with active service to over 600. and did became much more effective simply because then they be expanded so much from uss south carolina and appearing in july 1861. and more cave after that. 8064 there're typically one does in union warships so vague to give very seriously devoting resources to blockade but the odds were still in their favor by the end of the war buddies -- but the odds got lugar as the war went on. blockade runners were private with few exceptions is late in the war for the ships but most were privately owned, the civilian ships that were under arms in general the would not put epiphyte. they would run like crazy. in to put everything to burn in the furnace to keep going to go run the blockade vessel that was after them. stick so it was not physically dangerous in the same way of

by 1904 with roosevelt's navy we tell them the roosevelt corollary is, we've got the navy now. it's a very big, militaristic foreign-policy approach, yet theodore roosevelt wins the nobel peace prize for mediating the russell japanese war. he was very enamored with the japanese culture, japanese people, the food art, but he brokered that and won a nobel peace prize. for somebody who talked a very militaristic game, from 1901 to 1909, we never went to war. he's a peacetime president and a nobel peace prize winner, but his name is associated with war because he fought in the spanish-american war, but mainly because he talked about building up our armed forces. he liked big navy and big forest , and he stuck by that principle. then the panama canal situation which we don't have time to get into it all -- it's created in new york, the country of panama. waldorf-astoria -- let's build this canal. theodore roosevelt said to panama, useful panama from columbia. he said, i built the panama canal. it was an engineering marvel. david mccullough and others have written about it, combating

at the outset, the british royal navy was far more sophisticated than the american navy. we will hear about the tools that sailors on both sides of the conflict used to dominate the sea. the octagon house in washington, d.c., where the treaty of dad was signed 200 years ago hosted this event. it is about 25 minutes. >> welcome hearing i am kyle dalton, the administrator. i am also the author of a blog. today, i am going to be talking about the united states navy, the war of 1812 and navigation. all three of these topics intersect at the octagon house. the eldest son of the owners of the house, john taylor iv, was enlisted in the navy in 1890 as a midshipman. it was his responsibility to learn the trade of sailors and officers, to learn how to command ships, and how to work them. the united states navy was surprisingly effective in the war of 1812. i say surprisingly because people did not really expected. thomas jefferson aimlessly said that capturing canada would be a mere matter of marching. he also thought very little of our navy. we could not stand up against the might

the navy spends about $40 a year on contracts. and, until a couple of years ago, we could not track that money until we authorized and aproep rated it until we got to the contract. we can today. we're saving, today, 10% a year. so $4 billion a year on contracts. we're going to do better than that. those are hard things. those are not easy things. the last thing, there's four parts to the department of defense. there are the four services, the three departments. army, navy, air force. but there's also the department of defense. >> can i take a shot at that, sir? >> whoever. >> i'm going to defend my two service chiefs here. their staffs have not grown. >>> we're not growing. the staffs are staying steady. we're doing a 20% reduction in headquarters staff. but, again it's what we call the fourth estate. the department of defense agencies. so that's where the growth is coming. it's not in the department. >> thank you. let me go back to my questions. admiral, we sort of decided on this rebalance to asia before the latest provocations f

because obviously the navy and air force are much bigger platform platforms. more capital intensive investments than general dunford tends use in the marine corps that the army uses in its ground operations. >> the payloads and platforms my support for general -- i'm a supporting entity for the marine corps. when i build an amphibians ship it has to be able to expand to bring in the marine systems as they evolve and expand. so it is very much a part of what i support for joe dunford there. and, in fact, we fell behind in that regard. as the marines went ashore in afghanistan and iraq, we didn't evolve in our ships. and now we're making that adjustment working together. >> thank you. i also would like to associate myself with the comments of senator kaine and senator mccain about the impact of sequestration. in particular the impacts on readiness., the impacts on readiness. i'd be curious to hear about the time line that you think may be required to get back to full readiness in your two services. >> if we have a predictable, stable budget at the right level, wh

the purpose of the naval museum is to tell the stories of the navy's during the civil war.the only facility that focuses entirely on that particular story. we are in a unique place, right here inside the museum are the remains of a confederate ironclad, the css jackson. this was an ironclad builds in columbus during the war. specifically, we are about a midship of the vessel. this section was missing and fell apart during the recovery process. this is a great vantage point to take a look at how this thing is built and what areas are used for different purposes. an ironclad is a wooden ship. you still have to build the structure of the ship out of wood. but on the outside of it, above the waterline there is iron plating that provides the clading to the vessel. this is, essentially if you want to think about it like this, it is like putting a man inside of the suit of armor. most of them are used in coastal waters and rivers. what they were designed to do is, essentially, protect in the confederates case local port cities and river towns, which of course leads us to why the j

they're almost finished with the fy '13 audit. navy has its first budget adudit under contract now and moving forward. and in popular ses, understand the importance of it and moving forward. the concern that i have, very frankly, is that there is at least one area that we don't control that could have an impact on whether we get the audit. the defense finance and accounting service that writes our checks that we pay the navy and marine corps $300 million to last year to write those checks j nine out of their 10 internal controls have been found to be inadequate. the numbers we received from them that we are dependent on cannot be validated. and so the navy and marine corps are absolutely on track to do it again. i'm concerned about that outside our control. >> and congressman miller, i first want to agree with my colleague ray mabus on that last point. but on behalf of the air force we're fully committed to the audit. i mention that in my opening statement. i come out of business world so i personally am devoting time to this as well.

the royal navy. brian: and where they? erik: no, it turns out they weren't at all. ian: and this is 1915? what is going on in the world? erik: what is going on in the world is war. america is not in the war. the war broke out in august of 1914 and very quickly the war has proven to the world that it is going to be a very different sort of war that anything that came before. it had already come to involve civilians. the german army executed civilians in belgium. there were air raids over britain and shellings of coastal towns by the german navy. things were darkening and changing. poison gas had been used -- lethal poison gas had been used for the first time on the battlefield. in washington, we had president wilson, very much a lonely grieving man. he is lost his wife of many years in august of 1914. throughout the rest of 1914, he was deeply troubled. but by may he is head over heels was deeply troubled. but by may he is head over heels in love with a woman named edith. a 40-something widow in washington d.c. it is not clear yet whether she is going to fall in love

now, the navy is operationally deployed the law system. he directed energy weapon to be used against a variety of the the energy has turned the corner and is one of the keys to asymmetrical advantage using a technology for future security. and sure the other branches are as up to date on this is the navy is. is anyone other is anyone other than the navy leaning forward and directed energy? >> we put $5 million out on leisure technology in order to have a competition that will allow us to downsize in such a way that we can easily used uavs, mortars rockets. there is a great application command. to that. it is about getting a small enough and enough directed energy in order to meet our needs and it is essential to our future. we just recently invested in that. >> air force. >> we, too, have a program. for example i was just out in new mexico air force research laboratory with lasers and directed energy. furthermore energy. furthermore we are testing an aircraft defense system which would have lasers involved in the laser communication system

of the navy, cut the number of carriers, there was never any hesitation on reagan's part. he would listen to me, and he hired me to do the navy rebuilding, and the other people on other president staff, he wasn't interested. he listened to the secretary of defense, but he always backs me up and every battle i was ever in. i think nixon was much more disposed to get into the details of every one of the battles, and he was very good, because he had the depth and experience. one of the things that led to his downfall was that it was obvious, he was fascinated by national security and foreign policy. he was totally bored by domestic policy and he really delegated domestic policy to his subordinate cabinet. you might say he was not minding the store to the extent he should have. i think that it was a lot easier , there was more openness in the reagan national security area mainly because there was never anybody in charge for a long. of time. and the reagan years, it was constantly changing a set of players. the power did not reside in the national security the way did during th

the marines have never explained different town. >> what is the objective by the navy or by authoritiesto disappear people? what is the logic behind it? the allegations of disappearances by security forces have continued into pena nieto's administration. and not just in tamaulipas but around the country. we were told that there are people who have been released after being held by security forces - but that they rarely speak about the experience...out of fear. but we finally found someone willing to tell us their story. so we had to change cars twice to be able to get here. so we gonna go and talk to this woman who was detained allegedly by the police and taken to a detention center that was run by the police. so this is very important - because it shows in a way. the complicity that exists between security forces and criminal organizations. and how difficult the corruption situation here in this country. she agreed to speak with us if we protected her identity. two months before we met her she was with her son in the car, driving home after work when they were stopped by armed men and

in the aftermath the navy would change their story about the events of that night numerous times - firstsaying they had no contact with the men. later, they would say they had questioned them - and found the men were innocent- and that they dropped them off in a different town nearly 2 hours away. jose and the other men detained that night were never seen or heard from again. the marines have never explained why they left them in a different town. >> what is the objective by the navy or by authorities to disappear people? what is the logic behind it? the allegations of disappearances by security forces have continued into pena nieto's administration. and not just in tamaulipas but around the country. we were told that there are people who have been released after being held by security forces - but that they rarely speak about the experience...out of fear. but we finally found someone willing to tell us their story. so we had to change cars twice to be able to get here. so we gonna go and talk to this woman who was detained allegedly by the police and taken to a detention center that was

there is the royal navy, into the admiralty was in charge of the royal navy. running the admiralty was the first lord, winston churchill. the first sealord was jackie fisher. there is a distinction. what is significant there is that jackie fisher was supposed to be the day-to-day operating guy in the navy, and churchill was supposed to be sort of the ceo. like the ceo and coo. but anyone who knows churchill knows but churchill is not going -- to take anything less than an intrusive role in the management of whatever he is managing. so a lot of conflict. brian: you pointed out the churchill was 40 and jackie was 74. let me point out something you put on page 190. i will just go to the meat of it. and which churchill wrote that -- brian: this is a lot to pay. how many amerikans lost their lives on this? erik: 128. brian: how many people didn't survive? erik: 1200. brian: how many people did survive? erik: about 700. there is no doubt that churchill would have welcomed that incident to get america into the war early. he had written a note to the head of the board
