PDF-[READ]-Hellions of the Deep: The Development of American Torpedoes in World War II

Ultimately World War II was the first war won by technology but within only a few weeks after the war began the US Navy realized its torpedo program was a dismal failure Submarine skippers reported that most of their torpedoes were either missing the targets or failing to explode if they did hit The United States had to work fast if it expected to compete with the Japanese Long Lance the biggest and fastest torpedo in the world and Germanys electric and sonar models Hellions of the Deep tells the dramatic story of how Navy planners threw aside the careful procedures of peacetime science and initiated radical research gathering together the nations best scientists and engineers in huge research centers and giving them freedom of experimentation to create sophisticated weaponry with a single goalwinning the warThe largest center for torpedo work was a requisitioned gymnasium at Harvard University where the most famous names in science worked with the best graduate students from all around the country at the business of war They had to produce tangible weapons to consider production and supply tactics to take orders from the military and in many cases also to teach the military how to use the weapons they developed World War II grew into a chess match played by scientists and physicists and it became the only war in history to be won by weapons invented during the conflictFor this book Robert Gannon conducted numerous interviews over a twentyyear period with scientists engineers physicists submarine skippers and Navy bureaucrats all involved in the development of the advanced weapons technology that won the war While the search for new weapons was deadly serious stretching imagination and resourcefulness to the limit each day the need was obvious American ships were being blown up daily just outside the Boston harbor These oral histories reveal that in retrospect surprising even to those who went through it the search for the hellions of the deep was for many the most exciting period of their lives.

The Tenets of Deep Ecology While I am aware that the term deep ecology was coined by the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess, this article refers specifically to the American variant.2 Adherents of Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials secretly manipulate or direct national policy in the United States. President Trump blames the deep state for his impeachment. But what is the American deep state and does it really exist?To conservatives, the “deep state” is an ever-growing government bureaucracy, an administrative state that relentlessly encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals fear the military-industrial complex—a cabal of generals and defense contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. Every modern American president—from Carter to Trump—has engaged in power struggles with Congress, the CIA, and the FBI. Every CIA and FBI director has suspected White House aides of members of Congress of leaking secrets for political gain. Frustrated Americans increasingly distrust the politicians, unelected officials, and journalists who they believe unilaterally set the country’s political agenda. American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a half century.This sweeping exploration examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past fifty years, from the Church Committee’s exposure of Cold War abuses, to Abscam, to false intelligence about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy theories online and on-air. While Trump says he is the victim of the deep state, Democrats accuse the president and his allies of running a de facto deep state of their own that operates outside official government channels and smears rivals, both real and perceived.The feverish debate over the deep state raises core questions about the future of American democracy. Is it possible for career government officials to be politically neutral? Was Congress’s impeachment of Donald Trump conducted properly? How vast should the power of a president be? Based on dozens of interviews with career CIA operatives and FBI agents, In Deep answers whether the FBI, CIA, or politicians are protecting or abusing the public’s trust. Ultimately, World War II was the first war won by technology, but within only a few weeks after the war began, the U.S. Navy realized its torpedo program was a dismal failure. Submarine skippers reported that most of their torpedoes were either missing the targets or failing to explode if they did hit. The United States had to work fast if it expected to compete with the Japanese Long Lance, the biggest and fastest torpedo in the world, and Germany\'s electric and sonar models. Hellions of the Deep tells the dramatic story of how Navy planners threw aside the careful procedures of peacetime science and initiated radical research: gathering together the nation\'s best scientists and engineers in huge research centers and giving them freedom of experimentation to create sophisticated weaponry with a single goal--winning the war.The largest center for torpedo work was a requisitioned gymnasium at Harvard University, where the most famous names in science worked with the best graduate students from all around the country at the business of war. They had to produce tangible weapons, to consider production and supply tactics, to take orders from the military, and, in many cases, also to teach the military how to use the weapons they developed. World War II grew into a chess match played by scientists and physicists, and it became the only war in history to be won by weapons invented during the conflict.For this book, Robert Gannon conducted numerous interviews over a twenty-year period with scientists, engineers, physicists, submarine skippers, and Navy bureaucrats, all involved in the development of the advanced weapons technology that won the war. While the search for new weapons was deadly serious, stretching imagination and resourcefulness to the limit each day, the need was obvious: American ships were being blown up daily just outside the Boston harbor. These oral histories reveal that, in retrospect, surprising even to those who went through it, the search for the hellions of the deep was, for many, the most exciting period of their lives. The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand From Isolationism to Internationalism. VUS.9. American Expansionism. America wanted to expand its size throughout the 19. th. Century toward the Pacific Ocean. Many leaders in the US felt America should become more imperialistic.
