The United States Navy has evolved in the last century and a half
from humble and often frustrating beginnings during and after the
Revolutionary War to become the strongest navy in the world with
responsibilities that span the globe. The story of the Navy from
its birth through the Civil War and other 19th century conflicts
through its victories of World War I and World War II and down to
the current efforts in the Middle East to maintain the peace not
only for the United States but also for other nations as the
world's primary peace-keeper has been one of responding to the call
of duty, as captured by its unofficial motto Non sibi sed patriae
("Not self but country"). No other nation's navy past or present
can match its successes and history. The second edition of
Historical Dictionary of the United States Navy covers U.S. Naval
developments, personnel, and engagements from the colonial times to
the present day. This is done through a chronology, an introductory
essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced
dictionary entries on people, places, events and other terminology
of the Navy. This book is an excellent access point for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the United
States Navy.
