	Revolt of the Admirals - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The "Revolt of the Admirals" was a late 1940s episode during which several high-ranking officers of the United States Navy publicly disagreed with the United States government's plans for the military forces.
		The debate that caused the "Revolt" had been building for several years, but climaxed in 1949 when many of those officers, including Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan and Chief of Naval Operations Louis E. Denfeld, were either fired or forced to resign.
		The "Revolt of the Admirals" opened the discussion, still on-going, in the American military establishment about the role of nuclear weapons, strategic bombing, and the unification of military command.

		In its impassioned power, the revolt brushed aside the Navy's civilian head, who had blandly assured the House Armed Services Committee that Navy morale was good and that the only dissatisfaction came from a few hotheads in the Navy's air arm.
		Captain John Crommelin (who is eligible to become a rear admiral in December) had charged that the Navy was "being nibbled to death in the Pentagon" by "landlocked" strategists.
		Admiral Bogan had written: "The morale of the Navy is lower today than at any time since I entered the commissioned ranks in 1916.

		Drake took a fleet and fifteen thousand men to help the Portuguese in their revolt against Spain (1598); but the Portuguese hated Protestants more than Spaniards, the English drank themselves drunk on captured wine, and the expedition ended in failure and disgrace.
		Philip and his admirals thought of naval warfare in ancient terms -- to grapple and board the enemy and fight man to man; the English plan was to sink the enemy's ships, with their crowded crews, by broadside fire.
		On July 19 the vanguard of the Armada was sighted in the mouth of the Channel.

		Once more chased out by the Turks, he was again in the Mountain in 1823, allied with Abdallah, on whom Jezzar's mantle had ultimately fallen at Acre, and maintaining friendly relations with the "English Princess," Lady Hester Stanhope.
		The invasion of Syria by Mehemet Ali in 1831 caused Beshir to desert Abdallah and throw in his lot with Ibrahim Pasha; but he was not cordially followed by the Druses in general, and had good excuse for revolt in 1839, and intrigue with the British admiral in 1840.
		Ibrahim, however, by his possession of Druse hostages, restrained the amir, and after the bombardment of Acre, the Turks called him to account for his record of rebellion and treachery.

	PUERTO RICO HERALD: On Condition Of Anonymity
		Admiral Denfeld's testimony directly conflicted with the guidance and desires of Navy Secretary Matthews and Defense Secretary Johnson.
		In its immediate aftermath, the "revolt" appeared to have been for naught because B-36 procurement continued, the CNO was fired, and the decision to cancel the big-deck carrier United States stood.
		Over the 1950s and 1960s, however, the health and strength of naval aviation depended on the congressional support gained by the admirals and the convincing arguments they had made.

	Revolt of the Admirals Information
		The debate that caused the "Revolt" had been building for several years, but climaxed in 1949 when many of those officers, including Chief of Naval Operations Louis E. Denfeld as well as Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan (the civilian head of the Department of the Navy), were either fired or forced to resign.
		The first test of national doctrine came on 25 June 1950 when the Korean War broke out, and the national command authority decided that strategic bombing would not be used to defeat North Korea — rather, the use of ground forces, supported by naval gunfire and amphibious assault, would defeat the invasion.
		The Korean War reinforced the lessons of the Second World War that held carriers to be the primary implement of American foreign policy, and shortly after the North Korean attack began, Secretary Johnson promised the Navy that they would have a new aircraft carrier as soon as they wanted it.

		While some view these calls by retired military officers as a "Revolt of the Generals" and a challenge to civilian control of the military, this episode pales in comparison to the 1949 Revolt of the Admirals.
		The conflict between the Navy and the Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson in 1949 concerned the construction of the supercarrier USS United States.

		In 1948, the Principality of Outer Baldonia was founded on a four-acre rocky island 16 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia by Russell Arundel, self-proclaimed “Prince of Princes” and president of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company.
		With its governmental charter and sixty-nine admirals of the Baldonian Navy (fishermen who harvested tuna in the surrounding ocean), Outer Baldonia bore all the hallmarks of what would become an increasingly common type of micro-nation—the whimsical state.
		Despite having provided financial support to 800 separatists on Vanuatu, his revolt was quickly crushed by the arrival of troops from Australia and Papua New Guinea.

		It was the summer of 1949, a contentious debate that came to be known as "The Revolt of the Admirals."
		The Revolt of the Admirals saw active officers testifying before Congress on matters of national security policy.
		"The Revolt of the Admirals was much more serious [than the current debate around Rumsfeld] because it was active-duty admirals that were doing this," said Kavel Sepp, assistant professor in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey.

		According to Mark Perry, who has written a detailed account of the early years of the Joint Chiefs as an institution, US generals and admirals have long been uncomfortable with backing a foreign and defense policy not of their own at least partial formulation.
		This issue first surfaced publicly in 1949 during Harry Truman's presidency.
		But this so-called "revolt of the admirals" was not clear-cut, for the policy dimension was masked as inter-service rivalry between the air force and navy aviation over control of the US nuclear arsenal.

	James S. Robbins on The Crusader on National Review Online
		You didn't need Nostradamus to see the future belonged to the jets.
		This was the background to a vicious political fight between the Air Force and the Navy in the summer of 1949, known as the "Revolt of the Admirals." President Truman's defense cuts had forced some tough choices, and one of them was to cancel the Navy's planned supercarrier, the U.S.S. United States.
		The Navy saw the B-36 as the main adversary; in their view, it was a soon-to-be outmoded budget buster foisted on the country by the newly independent and influential Air Force at the expense of the other services.
