| Summary/Abstract |
Vince Patton, the eighth Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard and former chairman of the U.S. Naval Institute Editorial Board, recently reminisced on social media about joining the Delayed Entry Program in April 1972 and shipping off to boot camp later that year. In response, Coast Guard Chief Boatswain's Mate Chris Browning elegantly captured Vince's career: "You came in as a kid with a dream and you left as a man with a legacy."

| Summary/Abstract |
In the 1890s, with the first steps toward rebuilding the U.S. Navy under way, the pages of the open forum of the Naval Institute proceeding are a study in constructive, forward-looking thinking about the priority issues to be examined with the coming of the new steam-and-steel era. There is a vital energy in the essay of naval officers writing on the advance in warship design, armor, guns, range-finders, smokeless gun power, explosives and ordnance materials, and the nature and role of new weapons such as the automobile (self-propelled) torpedo, and new power sources such as electricity. Other article capture the greater advances in the British and French Navies, and lament the way the Navy has drifted out of touch from the great body of the American people.
