Here are some 80+ patents that had an influence on the growth of
the U.S. Navy - be it on, above or below the surface of the water.
Each chapter is focused on important patents that shaped the growth
of the Navy, be it in communications, navigation, surveillance, the
ship's structure itself, weaponry, medical and life-saving,
administration and miscellaneous. When we began researching the
patents, the first few came easy - inventors like Edison, Bell,
Burroughs, Seversky, Marconi, Morse, the Wright Brothers, Curtiss,
Goodyear, Cousteau, Grumman, etc., easily made the first cut. Other
inventors were harder to find yet their contribution to the
advancement of the Navy was nonetheless important. One example
would be the patented process of dive-bombing on enemy vessels
using submarine torpedoes - patented in 1912! Another would be the
catapult for launching aircraft off ships, patented in 1928.
