US Navy

The actual ships, ship types, and numbers deployed at any given time to any fleet is classified at least For Official Use Only, and some information is Confidential. The fleet's makeup is continually rotated, so there's no "official list" of ships since they change regularly.

At the time of the American Revolution, several North African states (Tripoli, Morocco etc - the Barbary Coast) were pirating hotspots. With its independence, America lost its protection from this pirating - protection provided by England before the war and France during. As Presdent in 1801, Thomas Jefferson refused to pay protection (the usual method to avoid confrontation) and Tripoli declared war on the US. Jefferson sent naval vessels to the Mediteranean in response. Subseqent wartime action led to the "shores of Tripoli" line in the US Marine Corps Hymn.

"Not for self but for country."

It was called "Rocks and Shoals" or more properly "Articles for the Government of the United States Navy."

After the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, the battle cry through the ensuing Spanish American War was, "Remember the Maine!"

He rode a magnificent white stallion. And he rode it on the front lines of battle, with no fear. He was never hit with a bullet, although many passed through his clothing in near misses.

Also, they did not have "cars" in the 1780,s in the event you may be confused about your history.

In terms of an absolute always, no. In fact, battleships no longer exist in active use as part of any world navy.

Is it sound naval doctrine to escort aircraft carriers? Absolutely. Aircraft carriers are primarily engaged in strike warfare--long-range assaults on enemy formations and land targets. However, they face significant threats from enemy ships, submarines, and cruise missiles.

Destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and other escorts form part of the protective 'shield' around fleet carriers, because with their planes carriers are basically floating targets, lightly armed and easily damaged.

Prior to World War Two, it was assumed by most tacticians that battleships would figure significantly into a decisive "Mahanian" fleet engagement. However, engagements such as the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the sinking of the Bismarck proved that Battleships were becoming obsolete as independent units. The age of the carrier had come.

Battleships, then, were reassigned for Naval Gunfire Support and as carrier escorts, primarily in an antiair role.

Destroyers have always provided a primarily escorting role. The name 'destroyer' is actually a shortened version of Torpedo Boat Destroyer, a ship designed specifically to counter fast, torpedo-armed combatants that attacked larger ships in packs.

Destroyers have become uniquely adapted to hunting enemy submarines (a huge threat to carriers during and since WWII) and, in the modern age, defending against cruise missile/air attack.

The modern Carrier Battle Group acts as both protection for the carrier and its invaluable aircraft and as added firepower in the strike role. Carriers are worth so much, in both literal cost and military importance, that they must be protected.

There were five ships named "Serapis", none were ever sunk in battle.

HMS Serapis (Frigate) Launched 1779, and captured a few month later by the Continental Navy, and then sold to France. Sank of the coast of Madigascar due to an accidental fire.

HMS Serapis (Frigate) Launched in 1782, converted to a store ship in 1795 and sold to a civilian merchant in 1826

HMS Serapis (Iron Screw Troopship) Launched 1866, served until 1894 when it was scrapped.

HMS Serapis (Destroyer) Launched in 1918 and sold to Argentina in 1934

HMS Serapis (Destroyer) Launched 1943 and sold to Netherlands in 1945

USS Arizona

No because aircraft carriers are so huge and it can handle lots of punishments. Aircraft carriers are incredibly strong. If you fire one missile at it, it still could float and move even up to twelve missiles and the aircraft carrier will take damages and still can move. If you fire several missiles or more, the whole aircraft carrier will sink.

The federal bureaucracy is made up of the departments and agencies that do the work of the federal government. Most of these departments and agencies are in the Executive Branch, but the Judicial and Legislative branches also have agencies and departments. The people who work in these agencies and departments are known as "civil servants" or (with negative connotations) "bureaucrats". It is also informally known as the "4th Branch" because tenured employees are hard to remove under Civil Service, and these individuals may not suscribe to the policies set by the current administration.

Planes that divide the body into superior and inferior portions, and that are at right angles to both the sagittal and coronal planes are termed transverse planes.

Bearing is a direction. The bearings are typically based upon the ship's navigational gyroscope, though if the gyros are not working, the magnetic compass can be used. The ship's course is given as a bearing that is to be steered. Contact information is based on a bearing from the ship. By tracking the bearing of a contact and the range, you can determine the contact's course and speed. Something that is at a 'Constant Bearing' is going to be very close, if not hit, the ship. "CBDR" was something you hated to hear, Constant Bearing Decreasing Range meant that you were going to have to work out course and speed and make recommendations to the Captain as to how to avoid based on Rules of the Road, etc.

Don't know about the WW2 Operation Dufflebag. Could you possibly mean the one that we ran in Vietnam?

In 1970, the USASF A432 Thuong Thoi detachment (among others) guided USN electronic techs into Mekong Delta border areas to implant electronic listening devices along the various enemy resupply corridors. We also hosted some of the USN techs who sat in a bunker and listened in for heavy footsteps.

This was the Vietnam version: Army Special Forces for tactical entry/egress, USN volunteer detachment for equipment operation, and Marine Corps Force Recon for damage assessment. I've never found any record of it myself, but that could be for many reasons. Since nobody debriefed me, I don't believe it was secrecy. Either the operation was too tiny to mention, or got canceled because it didn't pan out. Who knows? I left in the middle of it and returned home to take a breath.

Personally, I believe it was too small to matter (sorry CPO Fred Z., and most importantly, RIP CO3 Tommy S.). My only clue for the smallness issue is the fact that these guys got to design their own patch & write their own unit motto. Patch was Snoopy on top of his shot-up doghouse with headphones on his ears. Motto was, "Only God Knows More."

I don't know, that makes it sound pretty small to me. But the Navy is different. Since they could only sport the patch & motto in-country (just not in the boonies), maybe uncertain outcome got this puppy lost to history. Check some USN and USMC records (I only pinged Army SF).
