What country was most powerful at the beginning and end of World War I?
Answer
Not perhaps as clear cut as it may first appear. Economically, I suspect that in 1914 Britain may still have just been the strongest though it had been losing ground for some time to the United States and to a lesser degree Germany. It was financing the war that would virtually bankrupt Britain and put it heavily in debt to America and its own empire.
In terms of military power its even harder to judge. One of the main causes of the war had been the relentless arms race between the great powers of Europe and in particular a naval power struggle between Britain and Germany. In fact the alliance system that would tip Europe headlong into war had been developed partly because the main powers were so evenly matched - allies were essential to tip the balance. This parity of power can be seen in the way that when war did break out it immediately became a stalemate that neither side could break for four years.
By the war's end Germany was in economic ruin, France industrially devastated and with Britain heavily in debt to just about everyone. America became the most powerful nation in terms of economic strength, industrial might, manpower, and military.
Answer
Britain was the most powerful country at the beginning of world war 1 in terms of military might, Imperial colonies and 3nd largest economy (behind US and Germany), at the end of the war Britain was deminished but still considered one of the most powerful countries with an even larger empire navy as one of the victors of WW1, but was financially wounded, at the end of the Second world war is officially the end of British superpower and the Rise of Russia and the US, the United States became the only remaining superpower in the early 1990s with the dismantling of the USSR.
So your answer is Britain/Germany/ before WW1 and US/Britian after WW1

What ship has the record for the highest death toll of any single warship lost in US Naval history?
That would be USS Indianapolis(cruiser)sunk by a Japanese submarine(I-58)on 30 July, 1945. From what I have read and seen on TV the sinking was not noticed by the Navy as the ship didn't get off an SOS and was traveling by itself and its whereabouts got lost in the shuffle. I wonder why nobody noticed the lack of transmissions which ships, planes and communications stations ALWAYS make. Anyway the ship sank in about 12 minutes and of the approx 1,200 crew about 900 made it into the water and that was when their nightmare started. Very few life rafts launched and many just had their May Wests and that was it. Very little or no water, food or medicine. These sailors spent about 3 1/2 days in the water before being spotted by a patrol plane and rescued but the sun, sea and sharks took about 2/3rds of them. Some claim this was the greatest shark attack and devouring in history but while the number must have been huge nobody really knows. 316 sailors were pulled from the water. The captain was tried for dereliction of duty and convicted; he committed suicide in 1968. Johnnie

The British navy was not defeated during the war of 1812. To begin with, a few small, unprepared vessels were attacked and sunk by vessels of superior individual power belonging to the US navy. The US navy had only 16 ships at the start of the war, the British navy had 175 ships of the line and 600 ships of all kinds during the Napoleonic Wars.
The British were often successful in conflicts between individual ships. On 1 June 1813, HMS Shannon beat the Chesapeake off Boston in a battle fought at close range in which a lack of preparedness on the part of the American commander was a key factor. On 14 August 1813, the USS Argus was captured off Wales by the similarly gunned Pelican after the British gunners proved superior. The next year, the British frigate Le Rhin captured the largest privateer to sail from Charleston, the Decatur , which had boarded and seized the British sloop Dominica in August 1813.
What countries had the most powerful navy in the world in the early 1900s?

These Sailors will be advanced at the three percent increment (by seniority) for the first eleven months of the cycle, with the remaining 67 percent advancing in the final month. This aligns with the recently announced officer phasing plans.
Does sonar uses sound waves to measure water depth?
Yes.
Active sonar generates a pulse, the echo is heard some time later. The time it takes for sound to travel from the generator to the reflector and back to the sensor discloses the distance from the sonar equipment to the object reflecting the sound waves.
Passive sonar just listens and does not generate any sound pulses itself but through various analysis algorithms certain information about the distance to an object that does make sound can be obtained. Passive sonar is not used for finding the depth of water but for listening to ships.
