‘The Most Stunning Blow in Naval History’

The Impact of the Battle of Midway Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer It's a question that is not easily answered, but what truly was the impact of the Battle of Midway? If one were to look at the sheer statistics, there's an obvious answer: the U.S. Navy lost one carrier and a destroyer to the Imperial Japanese Navy's (IJN) four carriers and heavy cruiser. However, its clear that Midway represented something so much more than just the sunken ships. In response to a question about what he would like people to remember about U.S. veterans who fought in the Battle of Midway retired Marine Corps Maj. Albert Grasselli paused and offered a succinct answer. “We won,” he said. The Battle of Midway is being commemorated this year for its 70th anniversary. The battle, which took place from June 4-8 1942, was a turning point in the Pacific War and arguably set the stage for the United States to help win the Second World War. A ceremony will be taking place at the Navy Memorial located in downtown Washington on June 4. The battle is noted as being the first decisive victory by the U.S. in the war with Japan. The IJN had already made broad strokes in the

Pacific, beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Singapore, the Battle of Wake Island and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea. What had changed at Midway? The Americans had scored a huge victory on the intelligence front by the cracking of JN-25, the Japanese navy's cryptography used for highimportance messages such as ship movements and commands. Adm. Chester Nimitz and his staff had taken a large gamble and won. The IJN no longer was seen as the invulnerable force it once was. As mentioned before, first and foremost there was the loss of four aircraft carriers: the Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, and the Soryu. As the IJN had begun the Pacific war with 10 carriers, it was the largest and most developed carrier fleet in the world, and historians believe that they had the men and the aircraft to back them up. Following Midway, there was only the Shokaku and Zuikaku left available for offensive operations. However, with the loss of these carriers at Midway, the Japanese found themselves short of fleet carriers, and almost as important: trained aircrews. The loss of life at Midway was substantial: there were thousands of deaths, but they were overwhelmingly Japanese service members

As temps move up, keep Summer Safe Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer As we move into the summer months, there are many things that come about to enjoy: a day at the beach, a barbeque, even mowing the lawn. But with these previously forgotten activities of the summer comes new responsibility for all hands to remain safe. With the newfound warmth comes new dangers which require everyone's attention in order for the Navy to maintain operational readiness and efficiency: after all, a chain is only as strong as it weakest link. Jim Peake, the safety installation program director for Naval Support ActivityWashington has a series of helpful hints for Sailors to pay attention to.

"During the summer months, when we feel jolly and sometimes us older people want to feel young again, you're going out and doing things that you haven't done in six, seven, eight months and you might not use your basic safety practices," said Peake. Peake emphasizes the importance of safety, especially when it comes to children, during the summer months and beyond. One of the most important venues to maintain safety awareness in is around water: pools, beaches and beyond. Especially when it comes to water safety, a fun day at the pool can turn into a tragedy in the blink of an eye. "Always watch your kids [around the pool]" said Peake. "It only takes a matter of seconds for something to happen." When it comes to pool safety, there

are a number of important things to keep in mind: always swim with a buddy, no horseplay, be careful while diving, and maintain proper rescue equipment at all times. In the same vein is boating safety, where the one should be sure to maintain that rescue gear and properly-fitted life jackets, and an alert and of course, sober, operator. At the beach, it is important for all children to be properly supervised at all times, and never swim without a lifeguard present. One often ignored piece of advice is one concerning riptides: always swim parallel to the shore in order to escape a rip current, and then swim back in. Fighting a riptide will only tire one out and could prove to be danger-

More than one hundred-thirty students from two Prince William County schools recently visited the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) to complete their final exam for the Mission Ocean program. Mission Ocean is a year-long physical science curriculum for upper elementary and middle school students supported by the Chief of Naval Operations and funded by the Submarine Engineering and Design Command of the U.S. Navy. Developed in 1997 by the Center for Science and Technology Education at Purdue University Calumet, the program helps elementary school teachers deliver mathematics, science and technology lessons through collaborative teaching methods based on a deep-sea submarine research and rescue simulation.

MUSEUM Continued from 1 “We want to excite students about science as a field of study,” said Cyndi Etsler, Associate Director of the Center for Science and Technology Education at Purdue University Calumet. “We also strive to motivate students to select more science courses than they otherwise might have chosen and to show students how their classroom science courses translate to the real world of work.” Integrated into the school year, students learn to understand concepts like longitude, latitude, density, and buoyancy as well as the skills needed to operate seven different stations – officer of the deck, research, propulsion, main ballast, trim/ballast, drive/dive and navigation. The Mission Ocean center in the Cold War Gallery was recently installed through the combined ef-

former commanding officer of the nuclear attack submarine USS Philadelphia (SSN 690), as well as a retired school teacher, worked closely with the team from PurdueCalumet to ensure that the simulation was running smoothly and led the students through the program.”

The final exam, held at NHHC’s ColdWar Gallery, required students to form teams to independently engage in a final mission scenario, using science, engineering and mathematics concepts to solve virtual deep sea problems from a simulated submarine control room. Teamwork, strategic thinking, problem solving and communication are the skills necessary for students to be successful. Each student's success is measured according to his or her proficiency in specific skill areas and the ability to collaborate with peers in solving problems. “Each child had a different role, and everyone had to play their part in order to achieve their ultimate goal in the mission,” said Celeste Fackrell, a mother of a Westridge student. Fackrell’s daughter, Hannah, said she had a great time being part of the program. “I like how we are given more freedom to experiment, more responsibility to take charge for ourselves,” she said.

In addition to the lessons learned in class, Fackrell said she has noticed a change in her daughter outside of the classroom and believes it is because of the Mission Ocean program. “It has gone beyond the science class,” she said. “I have watched my daughter and her friends while they are together and they delegate more; everybody is willing to pitch in to make things happen.” Westridge science teacher Archie Hill, said he also noticed the teamwork the children have developed through the year-long program. “There are a lot of things that we can teach kids about teamwork,” said Hill. “But, when they are put in charge of a submarine and they have to rely on each other to direct a vessel without being able to see where they are going – I have never seen kids their age pull together and do things like this before.” For more information about the program, visit http://www.cstecalumet.org

Combating depression and suicide is everyone's business by Staff Sgt. Brittany E. Jones, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs Over the past decade, the war in the Middle East has called more than 2 million U.S. service members to duty from across the globe. Many of these members have seen pain, suffering and death, or have experienced their own traumatic incidents. A U.S. Army Public Health Command study shows an 80 percent increase in the rates of suicide among soldiers since 2004. Suicide rates aren't the only numbers on the rise, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions are increasing as well. The 579th Medical Group mental health clinic located at JBAB is available to provide services to active duty members. The mental health clinic staff provides comprehensive care to support each patient's specific and unique needs. For more information or to make an appointment call 202-767-0611. In addition to providing mental health services, the 579th MDG also offers an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program that supports active duty service members with drug and alcohol problems. ADAPT staff members provide treatment plans and rehabilitation to assist patients on the road to sobriety. Additionally, the staff works with each patient to ensure they have the best chances of success. The JBAB chapel is another agency available to provide help for those in need. "It is not unusual to experience a 'dark

night of the soul'," Ch. (Lt. Col) Mark Campbell, JBAB senior installation Chaplain said. "When the depression persists, get help. Chaplains and chaplain assistants are here to help.We will work with issues that affect mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of life. You are guaranteed full confidentiality when you seek a chaplain for counseling. " Campbell said members do not need to have a religious affiliation to receive services from the chapel staff. Campbell said his best piece of advice for someone battling depression, suicidal thoughts or post traumatic stress disorder is, "Don't go it alone. Seek a Wingman or Shipmate. Hopelessness and a false sense of needing to bear the weight of a burden alone keep us stuck." Chaplains are always available and ready to provide one-on-one counseling. Campbell added that this includes scheduled counseling when the situation permits, and drop-in counseling for urgent matters. Members can contact chapel staff at 202-767-5900 or call 202-439-4243 after duty hours. Another agency offering help, resources and counseling is the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI). "I really believe in education. There is so much misinformation out there and it can make mental illness so much worse for everyone involved," Jill Sheppard Davenport, NAMI board of director's member, said. "Just like with any other illness, early intervention is so important - the outcomes are much better if people start rehabilitating as soon as possible." Davenport and a team of volunteers will

introduce "Ending the Silence," an education program for high school students about how to recognize signs and symptoms of mental illness.The class will be held at the JBABYouth Center, May 11 at 6:30 p.m. "Do not be afraid to ask for and receive help," Davenport said. NAMI-DC offers support, education and resources for families, friends and individuals affected by mental illness. All classes and resources are offered free of charge. For further information about NAMI resources visit www.namidc.org or call 1-800-9506864 (NAMI). Another acronym to remember that could possibly save someone's life is ACE. The ACE Suicide InterventionTraining Program, developed by the U.S. Army Public Health Command, is listed in the Suicide Prevention Resource Center and American Foundation Best Practice Registry for Suicide Prevention. ACE: Ask, Care and Escort Ask your buddy -Ask directly "Are you thinking of killing yourself?" Care for your buddy - Calmly control the situation, do not use force, and be safe. -Actively listen to show understanding and produce relief - Remove any means that could be used for self-injury Escort your buddy - Never leave your buddy alone - Escort to chain of command, chaplain, behavioral health professional, or primary care provider - Call the National Suicide Prevention Life-

line by dialing 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) Tech. Sgt. Ami Parrish, JBAB Public Works Department unit training manager, reached out for help when she was feeling depressed. "When I was a training manager for Security Forces in Germany, I briefed suicide prevention, and in the briefing I would share my own struggles with depression," Parrish said. "Following my own experiences I would let people know who to contact for help." Parrish recalls after one particular briefing, another Air Force member told her she shouldn't share that part of her life because it made her appear weak. "I disagreed, it showed that I'm human," Parrish said. "We all sway in the ebb and flow of life, and for some it takes a little longer to get back to normal after hitting a low spot." Parrish believes that it shows tremendous strength to recognize that it's taking a little too long to bounce back and understand that it's OK to seek help. "I've become more resilient as the years have passed, but I do know there's a helping hand extended out to me," Parrish said. "I just have to be strong enough to reach out and accept the help." There are many avenues and resources available for those in need. All levels of leadership in the Department of Defense are dedicated to suicide prevention and taking actions to prevent future U.S. service members and their dependents from taking their own lives.

Peak Season for Household Goods (Personal Property) Moves We have entered the ‘peak season’ for Household Goods (HHG) moves. Each year about 225,000 DOD (and Coast Guard) moves take place in the summer months. Almost 65 percent of all DOD HHG goods moves are performed between May 15th and September 30th. And the “peak of the peak season” is the end of June to the beginning of July. The large number of summer moves is due in large part to service members’ justifiable desire to move at the conclusion and prior to the start of their children’s school years. The sheer volume of moves puts DOD and civilian transportation and contracting capabilities to the test and has proved difficult during the past several years. The U.S Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) owns the Defense Personal Property Program as well as the Defense Personal Property System (DPS). At Navy installations, the command which takes the lead on these matters is Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). TRANSCOM and NAVSUP have implemented corrective actions designed to mitigate last summer’s difficulties and improve the quality of service during the upcoming peak season. However, TRANSCOM and NAVSUP rely heavily on contracted moving services. Factors outside DOD control, such as the continuing economic conditions and an increase in private sector moves continue to negatively impact the moving industry’s capacity. Service members anticipating a PCS move this summer are encouraged to take a number

of steps to improve the overall process: 1. As soon as you receive your change of station orders you must begin the move process. 2. Plan your move! 3. Visit www.move.mil and review the move planning tools available online. 4. Establish an account at DPS, proceed with self-counseling and immediately provide a copy of your official orders to your supporting personal property office. 5. Select your move dates early and ensure flexibility in packing, pick-up and delivery dates. Your moving dates are not confirmed until the moving company contacts you and confirms. 6. Stay in contact with the household goods moving company, now called Transportation Service Provider (TSP), throughout the move process. 7. Immediately notify the local personal property office if any unforeseen issues arise during the move. 8. Lastly, consider performing a Personally Procured Move (PPM). Eligible service members may be paid up to 95 percent of the government’s cost for performing a similar move. In conclusion, planning, preparation, flexibility and communication are the keys to executing a successful household goods move. Contact your local personal property office for additional information, training and guidance!

Over 40 percent of highly trained carrier aircraft mechanics and technicians were lost, along with vital flight deck personnel and armorers.

Ultimately, the Battle of Midway represented attrition in its aftermath. It was clear at this point that the Japanese war machine was not going to be able to make the strokes that it had previously made in the Pacific without grand tactical changes and reinforcements that they proved unable to achieve. The Battle of Midway represented something greater than the four carriers and 3,000 lives: it represented the beginning of the end for the Pacific War. “It was the first time we’d engaged the enemy and won following the loss of bases in the South Pacific,” said Grasselli.

Sailors Attend US Battleship Premiere By MC2 Trevor Welsh, Navy Public Affairs Support Element West Universal Pictures hosted nearly 50 Sailors for the U.S. premiere of the movie "Battleship" at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles May 10. Sailors were given the "blue" carpet treatment alongside cast members of the movie and attended the special screening of the film prior to its release in more than 3,000 theaters nation-wide May 18. "I'm happy that they finally made a film that highlights who we are and is an accurate depiction of what we do," said Information SystemsTechnician 2nd ClassTim Gutherperson, stationed aboard USS Benfold (DDG 65). Cast members Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker, Tadanobu Asano, Col. Gregory D. Gadson, Hamish Linklater, Rico McClinton and Liam Neeson; director Peter Berg; writers Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber; and producers Brian Goldner, Scott Stuber, Sarah Aubrey, Duncan Henderson and Bennett Schneir were all in attendance signing autographs and interacting

with Sailors prior to the screening. Taylor Kitsch, who played the lead male character "Lt. Alex Hopper" in the movie said what really stands out for him is the sacrifices made by Sailors and their families. "This film is really a tip of the hat to you guys; the true heros," said Kitsch. Following Department of Defense approval in 2010, the film's production began, and principal photography took place during the U.S. Pacific Fleet's Rim of the Pacific training exercise later that year. Additional filming also took place in Hawaii, San Diego, and on a film set in Baton Rouge, La., constructed by Universal Studios. The movie's cast and crew spent time at-sea and witnessed life underway on U.S. Navy warships and lived side-by-side with Sailors. "They taught us more than we ever knew about the Navy, which was pretty special," said Brooklyn Decker, who played the lead female U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist character "Sam" in the movie.

The Life of Thomas B. Reed

Legal Corner

Book review Reviewed by Commander Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN

In an effort to keep you informed of military discipline and administrative matters that have occurred in Naval DistrictWashington,theWaterline will periodically publish Court-Martial and Administrative Separation results.

Mr.Speaker! The Life and Times of Thomas B. Reed: The Man Who Broke the Filibuster by James Grant. Published by Simon and Schuster, NewYork. 2011, 410 pages. Understanding America’s history can be a joyous lifelong endeavor of reading, watching films, seminars, and documentaries, visiting national sites, and discussing aspects of the history of the United States with other Americans. There are occasions when a true understanding of an era of American history can be acquired through delving into the lives of political leaders who were famous in their times, but have become less so in current times. Thomas Brackett Reed (18391902) of Maine is such a figure, serving over two decades in twelve consecutive congresses in the House of Representatives and rising to House Speaker twice from 1889 to 1891 and again from 1895 to 1899. James Grant is the author of several books on finance and financial history, my introduction to him came in two books, the first on the American industrialist Bernard Baruch and the second was not on America’s economic history but his biography of President John Adams. His latest book looks at Thomas Reed, his influence on the Republican Party, Congress, and the nation. The book discusses Reed’s education as a lawyer, and his service in the U.S. Navy during the last year of the CivilWar as Acting Paymaster aboard the USS Sybil, a riverboat that

plied southern waterways. Reed did not see action, and the section on his naval service reveals the monotony of life patrolling the Mississippi River, which by 1864 had been cleared of Confederate threats. Reed returned to Portland to practice law, and began to make his reputation of public service by getting elected as a state legislator and improving Maine’s judicial mechanisms with the establishment of a superior court to address backlogs in court cases. The volume contains interesting court cases Reed served as a lawyer; one was an adultery case that by 1870 drew great interest. In an era before TV and radio, people gathered far and wide to

Even at home one must keep that guard up. When working on the lawn, always wear proper footwear and maintain extreme caution when operating power tools and lawnmowers. Maintain a perimeter around grills that young children must adhere to. Peake also encourages people to think safety when it comes to summer vacations and transportation. He emphasizes the importance of only driving when well rested and prepared, keeping one's vehicle properly

"You might be being very safe, but he or she is not and you have to be prepared for that." What is the most important thing to remember while having a fun and safe summer? Peake emphasizes the importance of hydration, especially when working. "One of the key things is to always drink plenty of water," said Peake.

Lithium Battery Mailing Prohibited by USPS By Debbie Dortch, NAVSUP Corporate Communications Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), which oversees Navy postal operations, announced May 11, it is providing guidance to the fleet about new United States Postal Service (USPS) prohibitions regarding lithium batteries. According to the USPS announcement, beginning May 16, mail to or from APOs/FPOs are prohibited from containing lithium or products containing lithium. The prohibition also applies to international mail. The prohibition is in effect pending further USPS review of investigations for safety. "Customers should understand that postal clerks at these locations have been instructed to question patrons and check customs labels for any declarations of lithium batteries or electronic equipment to determine whether lithium batteries are in the shipment," said NAVSUP Navy Postal Subject Matter Expert Tom Rittle. "Upon identification of packages containing lithium batteries, customers will have the option to remove the batteries or not mail the package." The prohibition applies regardless of quantity, size, watt-hours, and whether the

cells or batteries are packed in equipment, with equipment, or without equipment. For more information about the prohibition, see USPS Postal Bulletin 22336 at http://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2012 /pb22336/pdf/pb22336.pdf. The NAVSUP and Navy Supply Corps team share one mission-to deliver sustained global logistics capabilities to the Navy and Joint warfighter. NAVSUP/Navy Supply Corps' diverse team of more than 25,000 civilian and military personnel oversee a diverse portfolio including supply chain management for material support to Navy, Marine Corps, joint and coalition partners, supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, security assistance, and quality of life issues for our naval forces, including food service, postal services, Navy Exchanges, and movement of household goods.

listen to high profile cases, and listen to orations from local politicians. In United States Congress readers will be introduced to some of the most contentious issues of the Gilded Age (1870 to 1893). Reed as Speaker would attempt to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment protecting the voting rights of African-Americans; the bill was defeated by filibuster (a legislative procedure to obstruct the passage of the bill by extending debate). In Reed’s time, the filibuster included having legislators physically present, but refusing to acknowledge their presence when called, therefore a quorum could not even be formed, this disappearing quorum would be addressed by Reed by asking the member if they deny their presence, and then marking them present in the chamber to the objection of the member. A chapter covers the constitutionality of replacing gold coinage with paper money and the legalism of gold’s convertibility with market rates fluctuating. The debate hinged on the constitutional provision in Article 1, Section 8, “Congress shall have the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.” What does coin money mean? Is this literally coin or print? During the Civil War, greenbacks (today’s color of our currency) was developed, printed, and taken off the gold standard as an emergency measure leading to a boom in the economy, can this be extended indefinitely? This was the era before the understanding of modern economics and what we would today call monetary policy. You will gain insights into several Presidential Administrations from Ulysses S. Grant to Theodore Roosevelt, and experience the debate on the appropriate size of the federal government, the rollback of post-Civil War reconstruction policies, and Reed’s final act of resigning in protest in 1899 over the America’s maintenance of colonial possessions in the Philippines, and Puerto Rico acquired in the Spanish-American War. Reed agreed with Mark Twain that the United States should not be a colonial power, when Reed resigned the United States Army was involved in an insurgency war in the Philippines it would last on and off until 1913. Grant’s book is an excellent read for those with a real passion for American political history in two decades after the American Civil War.

NWC hosts 25TH College of Distance Education Dinner By MC2 Kiona Miller NDW Public Affairs The Naval War College hosted its 25th annual College of Distance Education Dinner and Philip A. Crowl Lecture Series at the Catering and Conference Center located on the Washington Navy Yard, May 8. The dinner is part of the college's tradition which began in 1987 with students and faculty on the Washington, D.C. campus celebrating the completion of an academic year. The dinner also honors Professor Philip A. Crowl, chairman of the Strategy Department of the Naval War College from 1972 to 1980, with a memorial lecture presented by a prominent scholar or national figure. According to a proclamation signed in 1995 by then president of the Naval War College, Rear Adm. Joseph C. Strasser, Professor Crowl "...was the driving force of the Strategy Department throughout those years during a time of major change and reinvigoration." This year's lecture was presented by Rhode Island's 46th U.S. Senator, the Honor-

able John Francis Reed. Reed spoke to students and faculty in attendance on social, economic and technological changes throughout the world that will shape the U.S.'s strategic posture as well as immediate problems the U.S. faces today through his experience in Afghanistan. "We are here because we understand the extraordinary role that the NavalWar College plays not just in the life of our military forces, but throughout theworldandhowcriticalyour role will be in the future," said Reed. "Itiswithparticularpride that I salute the students that are here this evening.I am delightedtofindoutthatthisuniversityhereinWashingtonprovides resources and a form of education to so many who are committed to public service here in our nation's capitol." TheCollegeofDistanceEducationsbeganits"offcampus' seminars in 1974 at the Washington Navy Yard.

"It's the future of educa-

tion and we are keeping the quality while adjusting with the reality of people's busy lives and the difficulty of moving individuals and family. It's really making a big difference," said Rear Adm. John N. Christenson, president of the U.S. Naval War College. One of the NavalWar College's key missions is to develop strategic and operational leaders. By providing a host of professional military educational programs to

qualified U.S. officers, Navy enlisted personnel, civilian employees of the U.S. Government and nongovernmental organizations, and international officers the Department of Defense gains a group of leaders who are strategically minded, critical thinkers, proficient in joint matters, and skilled naval and joint warfighters. "[Students] take away a sense of jointness that we all have to work together. As good as we are in the Navy we can't do it alone," said Charles Chadbourn professor of strategy for the Naval War College. "I also think they come away with the idea of the importance of continuing to study and learn throughout their careers and maybe most significantly they learn to take off the blinders." Chadbourn described those blinders as any aspect of the Navy, ranging from strategy to concepts as simple as how human beings treat one another. He also recited a quote heard from a former Secretary of the Navy during a Current Strategy Forum in Newport, RI. "He said your job as students is to figure out what those blinders are and take them off, and it is your job as faculty to help the students

BATTLESHIP Continued from 5 something real felt very special to us." "It was one of the most amazing things watching that crew in action, throwing down, with what they do every day," said Jon Hoeber. "They granted us total access, and it was unbelievable. They were excited to have us there and we were dieing to be there. To be able to tell their stories and watch the United States of America 'Blue Water Navy' and all they do-stunning! People in this country do not know enough about that." "Battleship" was made with the support of the Department of Defense and the Navy. According to Rear Adm. Denny Moynihan, U.S. Navy's Chief of Information, the Navy had to evaluate the idea of the movie and ask some critical questions before deciding to support the film. "First, does the script accurately portray the Navy," said Moynihan. "Second, does it positively represent our service and our Sailors? Third, can we support the film without impacting our operations? And finally, do we believe that it could have a positive impact on recruiting? In the case of 'Battleship,' we felt the answer was 'Yes' to each of those questions." Because filming took place during already scheduled training events, it did not impair operations and there was no cost to the Navy or American taxpayers.

figure out what those blinders are and get them off," said Chadbourn. "Otherwise we aren't as efficient as a fighting force nor do we serve the best interest of the nation unless we get those off." Albert Daniels, a student who recently completed his last year of the three year program, began his studies at the Naval War College as a reserve naval officer and is now completing the program as a Department of the Navy civilian employee with the Navy Criminal Investigative Service. He said that the high standards of both faculty and the students created a learning environment that is different from other academic institutions. "Most people are very interested in the topic and it creates a level of dedication and a depth of discussion that you may not find elsewhere," said Daniels. "So many countries think that if they build up these large armies or navies that somehow that is about power. Power is nothing without an educated mind wielding it." For more information on the Naval War College visit http://www.usnwc.edu/ho me.aspx.

"The end result is a film that provides movie-goers with a realistic look of the Navy and Sailors operating at sea - scenes that I think reflect well on the Navy," said Moynihan. "The reason we do things like this, is because we would love to take everybody out to sea on an aircraft carrier, destroyer, or submarine to see what we do, but we can't." said Moynihan. "But we know that people go to movies, so this is one way we help the American people get get a better understanding of what their Navy does 24 hours a day 7 days a week." Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), in coordination with Universal Studios, will be offering special screenings of Battleship to Sailors and their families prior to the nationwide release of the movie May 18. The film's director, Peter Berg, will be present to kick off the free screenings at Naval Base Coronado and Naval Base San Diego Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island May 11. Special screenings will also take place this weekend at Camp Lejeune, Naval Air StationWhidbey Island, Naval Submarine Base New London and Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story May 12. Berg, director of Battleship, will also attend the Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story screening. Future screenings will take place inWashington, D.C. May 14, at Naval Air Station Jacksonville May 15 and onboard USS Missouri May 16.
