Summary/Abstract |
Today's U.S. Navy was born (or perhaps reborn) in the War of 1812. Though the Fleet was founded during the first year of the American Revolution, by 1812 it was still a small coastal navy with a limited ability to project power, protect ports, or control the sea. Those shortfalls hurt the United States in the War of 1812 and showed Americans very clearly the importance of a capable navy to protect the nation's security and economic prosperity. At the same time, the characteristics that eventually carried the small U.S. Fleet to victories against the British-tactical proficiency, forward operations, and warfighting readiness-became hallmarks of our Navy that endure to this day.

Summary/Abstract |
With the protracted campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan either already complete or winding down, 25 years of sustained, high-tempo military activity will soon come to a close. Frankly, our all-volunteer joint force, which has given so much to the nation, is tired. The force-its platforms, equipment, and personnel, including families-needs time to recover, reset, reconstitute, and prepare for future challenges.
This period of reconstitution and transition will be made more challenging due to the fiscal circumstances in which we now find ourselves. President Barack Obama has developed a ten-year plan to bring our growing deficits under control and to renew our economy. In preparing and outlining this plan, the President has emphasized the inextricable connection between our national security and our economy, and the fact that our economic prosperity provides the foundation for all elements of our national power-including the military. The President's plan therefore calls for spending cuts across all national programs, and the Department of Defense must and will contribute its fair share.

Summary/Abstract |
The article comments on "Charge of Command" memo issued by former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Gary Roughead in June 2011, to remind his commanding officers (COs) of the responsibilities of command and repeat his expectation of professional behavior. According to the author, the surface Navy exercises a sound command screening process; and the command training pipeline is constantly improved, with an emphasis over the past few years on the Fleet-Up program.

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 |
The global maritime sector could have done without the year 2009. Such is the view of those associated with the business of shipping. I and many other analysts had forecast considerable chaos last year, and the markets lived up to that sad prediction, especially in container shipping and car carriers, two sectors that cater primarily to the transportation of manufactured goods. Shipping journals were rife with stories of bankruptcies and buyouts, some of which were true, others wild speculation. The carriers in deepest trouble included revered names such as Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, and Zim - even DP World, the parent company of Dubai Ports, the global-terminal operator that during the past decade grew meteorically.

Summary/Abstract |
Naval aviation went through a transitional period in 2012 as it struggled with the specter of upcoming budget cuts and fiscal uncertainty brought on by congressional dysfunction. The year started off on a high note as the F-35B program was released from its Secretary of Defense-imposed two-year probation period a year early. But reality began to sink in as the year ended, and one after another fiscal milestone was passed without a budget in place for procurement and operational necessities. Almost every program was faced with monetary cuts, and some were either merged with others or shuttered altogether.
