	Benham class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ten Benham-class destroyers were commissioned into United States Navy during years 1938 and 1939.
		Much of their design is based upon the previously built versions of Gridley-class and Bagley-class destroyers.
		Two of the ships were lost during World War II, three of them would be scrapped in 1947, while the remaining five ships would be sunk after being contaminated from the atomic bomb tests in the Pacific.

	Enlisted Ratings and Jobs in the U.S. Navy
		Navy regulations of 1870 refer to the rating as Bayman (possibly sick-bay-man), and in 1898 it became Hospital Steward, in turn becoming Pharmacist's Mate in 1917 and to the present rating of Hospital Corpsman in 1948.
		The number of Navy bands fluctuated but gradually increased in succeeding years through the Civil War until the turn of the century, although it appears that no particular method of procurement or training of musicians was practiced.
		The Navy School of Music remained at the Naval Receiving Station, Anacostia, Washington, D.C. until 1964 when the school was redesignated as the School of Music, with a Commanding Officer, and moved to its present quarters on the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia.

	AD-41 Yellowstone
		The Gompers and Yellowstone classes are the first of post-World War II design; however, more than 15 years elapsed between the launching of the second of the Gompers class, Puget Sound (AD 38), and Yellowstone (AD 41).
		The mission of AD-41 Yellowstone class is to provide mobile, intermediate level maintenance support facilities, primarily for DD-963 class destroyers, CGN class cruisers and FFG-7 frigates and also for other frigates, destroyers and cruisers.
		As the Navy approached a reduced level of tenders to service ships and submarines of all types, policy-makers were studying the continued feasibility of routinely deploying CONUS-based tenders at rotating, back-to-back intervals.

		The Navy's plan is to take the job currently being performed by the P-3 Orion maritime patrol craft and split it between a follow-on Multimission Maritime Aircraft and a BAMS UAV.
		In December 2001, the Navy and Marine Corps re-examined their requirements for a Pioneer follow-on and decided to halt Fire Scout production at five aircraft, which will be used for testing and evaluating UAV technologies only.
		The introduction of the Pioneer was a quantum leap forward for the Navy, but electromagnetic interference from the ship, and the fact that a net was required to catch the Pioneer when it returned to the ship, contributed to many crashes.

	USS Newcomb (DD-586), Fletcher-class destroyer in World War II
		USS Newcomb (DD-586), Fletcher-class destroyer in World War II “Nelson’s accolade to his sailors, ‘They fought as one man, and that man a hero,’ could well be applied to her crew,” wrote historian Samuel Eliot Morison of USS Newcomb, DD 586—“superbly handled” in the decisive Pacific campaigns of World War II.
		Laid down and launched at Boston Navy Yard side-by-side with Bennion and commissioned 10 November 1943, the 125th ship of the 2100-ton Fletcher class, Newcomb was named for the commander of revenue cutter Hudson in the Spanish-American War.

		The destroyers were part of the at least 36 United States destroyers that reached European waters in 1917-18, many of them based at Queenstown, Ireland, and St Nazaire and Brest, France.
		Some of the 'K' class submarines were based in the Azores and 'L' class at Berehaven, Bantry Bay, Ireland on anti-U-boat patrols 1917-18.
		In 1917 the programme of large ship construction was suspended to concentrate on destroyers (including the large 'flush decker' classes, 50 of which ended up in the Royal Navy in 1940), submarine-chasers, submarines, and merchantmen to help replace the tremendous losses due to unrestricted U-boat attacks.

	Naming Ships - Navy Ships (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		While the Navy has attempted to be systematic in naming its ships, in recent years it seems there has been a complete breakdown in any attempt to sustain a systematic practice in the name categories for ship types.
		But as the 600-ship Navy has evolved into the 300-ship Navy, it would seem that a presumption has arisen that one should be on a first-name basis with each ship of the fleet, and that no further introductions should be required.
		Fortunately, the Lord looks out for fools and the United States of America, and the present situation may at least be on the road to rectification, even if the journey has been vastly lengthened by recent irresponsibility.
