  United States Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Navy is administered by the Department of the Navy, led by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV).
The Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations are responsible for organizing, recruiting, training, and equipping the Navy so the Navy is ready for operation under the command of the Unified Combatant Commanders.
Launched in 2003 as part of the Navy's Sea Power 21 transformation plan, Sea Warrior is intended to link the fleet's personnel processes (recruiting, training, and assigning) with acquisition processes (buying ships, aircraft, etc.) in a way that also improves each individual sailor's ability to guide his or her own career in a satisfying direction.

 The Royal Navy in the 21st Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the beginning of the 1990s, the Royal Navy was a force designed for the Cold War - with its three ASW aircraft carriers and a force of small frigates and destroyers, its purpose was to search for and destroy Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic.
The Navy's surveying service has responsibility for surveying and charting the oceans, the information from which goes into the numerous Admiralty produced charts and publications that are used all over the world.
The E-2 is already in service with the French and US Navies; the problem with the aircraft is its CTOL configuration - although it has been proven that it can launch successfully from a ski-jump, it would still require arrestor wires for landing, which would force CVF to be redesigned to a STOBAR configuration.

 Native Americans in the U.S. Military
In 1866, the U.S. Army established its Indian Scouts to exploit this aptitude.
As the military entered the 20th century, American Indians had already made a substantial contribution through military service and were on the brink of playing an even larger role.
With the 21st century on the horizon, the United States military can be expected to provide continuing opportunity for Native American men and women.

 Officer, The: Shaping the Navy of the 21st century - Naval Reserve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Navy competes for people, and we are engaged on three fronts: recruiting the right people, improving retention and reducing attrition.
The Naval Reserve's primary source of manpower is the Navy: veteran officer and enlisted members, trained and experienced on active duty, who decide to leave active service and continue their Navy careers as Reservists.
Navy leadership understands the consequences of sustained and repeated recalls on our personnel, their families, and employers.

 Disarmament Diplomacy: - Conventionally-Armed UK
Meanwhile, US Navy research has established the feasibility of converting at least four of its nuclear-armed Ohio class submarines to carry a formidable mix of conventional armament capable of proportionate, effective responses while remaining invulnerable, which is clearly what the US feels it requires to protect what it sees as its vital interests worldwide.
At present, there is resistance to such conversion from the surface US Navy, because such relatively invulnerable, inherently stealthy and autonomous "underwater battleships" (with no need to refuel, and using existing hulls) would be a serious competitor for their planned multi-billion dollar surface fleet upgrade, involving 32 new DD-21 destroyers costing $800 million each.
The Royal Navy's leaders must be increasingly disturbed and frustrated by this prospect, and by the reality that the weapon system of four of its most prestigious and costly capital ships is currently impotent in responding to what it sees as the most serious and intractable threats.

 21st Century Battleships
Navy task forces could fire hundreds of harpoon missiles, tomahawk missiles, hellfire missiles and even 5-inch gun projectiles at the target battleship and cause only minor damage.
The Navy claims that battleships are expensive to operate and manpower intensive, ignoring the fact that an aircraft carrier with air wing costs five times more to operate and requires four times more sailors.
I explained that the US Navy's reluctance to devote resources to deal with the mine threat should not reflect badly on the battleships, especially since the battleships still fired 1100 rounds while the Navy fired no 5-inch guns from their billion dollar destroyers and cruisers.

 Multi-Phase Computational Fluid Dynamics
As the US Navy enters the 21st century, its ships are coming under increasingly stringent local and global environmental regulations which place limitations on overboard discharges and may, in fact, limit their operability.
This has spurred the US Navy to evaluate their ships' present environmental performance and then, if necessary, to develop environmentally-friendly shipboard technologies.
While some of the necessary technologies are commercially available, in many cases the US Navy must develop their own, custom, technology.

The CNO said technology is an important asymmetric advantage the U.S. Navy brings to the fight, but, he added, “Our most important asymmetric advantage is the genius of our people.”
To overcome overseas basing issues, Clark said that the Navy must also continue to find new ways to exploit the world’s largest maneuver area: the maritime domain.

The General Dynamics entry won the contest, to go into service as the famous F-16, but the US Navy, which was looking for a fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom and A-7, found the YF-17 better suited to their requirements.
The Hornet is now the main combat jet of the US Navy and Marine Corps, particularly in its improved "F/A-18C/D" form, and has been sold to several nations as a land-based fighter.
It has also evolved into a scaled-up version, the "F/A-18E/F Super Hornet", which is now in service with the US Navy in the 21st century.
