	History of United States Naval Operations in World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The History of United States Naval Operations in World War II is a 15-volume account of the United States Navy in World War II, written by eminent historian Samuel Eliot Morison and published by Little, Brown and Company between 1947 and 1962.
		The result was a normal historical work, not an official history; although meticulously researched and footnoted using primary sources, Morison puts his personal stamp on every page.
		Limitations of the History are mostly due to its time period; some material, especially related to codebreaking, was still classified, and later in-depth research into particular episodes would clarify points that had been passed over lightly.

		Even Beard's fixed belief that war retarded the worker's millennium was a mere hypothesis; future historians may well find that the two world wars that Beard hated, and the Roosevelt administrations that he despised, did more for collective bargaining and for the worker's well-being and security than any previous half-century of peace.

		A historian owes respect to tradition and to folk memory; for "History is corrected and purified tradition, enlarged and analyzed memory." Rosenstock-Huessy, in an address before this Association in 1934 from which this dictum is quoted,18 warned our profession that we were losing our hold on the public through wanton and unnecessary flouting of tradition.

		Before the war was over, the number of such units in the Atlantic defense areas increased to a peak of 5 general hospitals, 45 numbered station hospitals, a handful of unnumbered hospitals of varying sizes, and 10 or more dispensaries equipped to function as small hospitals.
		A primary factor in the upward spurt early in the war was the establishment of antiaircraft batteries in remote jungle areas; and the removal of troops from screened barracks in sanitated zones to tent camps in more distant locations as a precaution against anticipated air raids.
		The main unit meanwhile was redesignated on 1 December 1942 as the 41st General Hospital, and was to have an ultimate capacity of 1,000 beds.

		If the United States, instead of awaiting formal entry into the war, was to undertake immediately the responsibility it had accepted for relieving the British troops in Iceland, then British losses in North Africa and Greece could be to some extent replaced without undue strain on British manpower.
		The shift of units apparently was made with some misgivings, for the 1st Division was the best equipped infantry division in the Army, the only one that approached a state of readiness for combat involving landings on a hostile shore.
		The War Plans Division favored the second course of action on the ground that the alternative would lower the combat efficiency of those units of the division from which the three-year enlisted men were drawn.

		This monumental work is the standard against which all other history of WW II in the Pacific Theater is measured.

		No doubt naval operations are obscure and technical to the average reader.

		In addition, there are the Departmental documents and histories, the official papers of other countries, including those of the defeated nations, the books written by participants and other authors, and the myriad magazine articles, newspaper stories and personal interviews which have added a tremendous amount to the information about Pearl Harbor.
		Every Navy message states its date and time in six digits-the first two represent the day of the month, the second two the hour of the day, and the last two the minute of the hour.
		Speaking of the decoded Japanese messages, the Admiral states: "The recipient, without taking notes, had to read these signals in the presence of the messenger who returned them to Army or Navy Intelligence office, where all copies but one were burned." Actually, of course, there was nothing to prevent these officials from making notes.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: A Critic At Large
		In a twenty-five-cent pamphlet, “History as a Literary Art: An Appeal to Young Historians,” printed in 1946, Morison complained, “American historians, in their eagerness to present facts and their laudable concern to tell the truth, have neglected the literary aspects of their craft.
		He wrote his history, he said, “in a plain style, with singular regard unto the simple truth in all things.” He might have been describing how he lived his life.
		In proportion to population, King Philip’s War was one of the deadliest wars in American history.

		One problem of having a huge industrial base capable of turning out warships at comparatively lightning speed is that sheer numbers produced during a war inhibit further development of those types of warships after the war.
		At the end of both world wars the USN had a glut of new construction that in effect became a millstone for further development.
