		As a result, we are taking necessary action to ensure elimination of this cancer that has grown inside their country.
		And if we establish the right kind of management prototype, so to speak, countries now sitting on the fence on the issue will be much more likely to take responsibility for activities inside their borders.
		When the United States entered the war in earnest, we looked at the use of force in Vietnam principally as a military tool.

	Attack on Pearl Harbor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States and the United Kingdom reacted to Japanese military actions in China by imposing a scrap metal boycott followed by an oil boycott, a freeze of assets and the closing of the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping.
		The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Winston Churchill, on hearing that the attack on Pearl Harbor had finally drawn the United States into the war, wrote "Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful".
		According to Kurusu, the provocations began with the San Francisco School incident and the United States' racist policies on Japanese immigrants, and culminated in the belligerent scrap metal and oil boycott by the United States and allied countries.

		Naval surface fire support is an important part of the Navy's offensive arsenal, but it is not the only weapon system that might be used.
		Learning to integrate live fire from the air, sea, and other units ashore does not happen by accident, and it is not easy to simulate.
		For naval fire support, being able to place ordnance on targets accurately and consistently with the minimum number of rounds is an incredible achievement.

		The Museum's themes are the history of naval warfare, particularly as studied at the College, and the naval heritage of Narragansett Bay—a tale that begins with the nation's colonial roots.
		Besides permanent exhibits on the College, the genesis of the Navy in the region, and the evolution of permanent naval installations from the late nineteenth century to the present, the Museum features short-term special exhibits relating to College curriculum and to current naval-related topics.
		While the Museum is primarily for the education and the edification of the Naval War College community, it is in a larger sense the corporate memory of the Navy in the region, and it serves as a clearinghouse for naval history information in New England.

	Technology - English Books
		There is almost nothing specific to Japanese naval operations in World War One, but a wealth of material regarding the evolution of the design of Japanese warships of the era.
		Replete with details and references, Layman demonstrates how the naval officers of most countries were very keen to use aircraft, and that contrary to popular opinion, it was the state of technology rather than "battleship admirals" (a legend which Layman demolishes) which led to the supposed ineffectivness of the naval air arm.
		The book has a really interesting section (photographs of Royal Naval Air Service seaplanes included) dealing with the observation flights and bombing raids carried out by RNAS pilots during the period the Koingsberg was hold up in the Rufiji River.

		The Naval Institute Historical Atlas of the U.S. Navy

		In ten chapters, U.S. Naval history is documented in text and maps, beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through the pax Americana, 1980-1994 (including Desert Storm).

		"Without some such stimulus as the Institute, the Navy would be less like a profession and more like a trade; we would be less like artists, and more like artisans; we would have become too practical and narrow; we would have no broad vision of the Navy as a whole.

		At the end of the war the United States government seized about 30,000 volumes of Japanese military reports, summaries and records, handwritten and out of order.
		It is some of these reports, particularly on the Leyte operation (JD 3 and JD 4), that Samuel E. Morison had translated into English and used for his research for his series United States Naval Operations In World War II.
		These translations from Japanese to English are also stored at the Naval Historical Center and form a priceless source in their own right, for many of the translated works are illegible on microfilm or the meaning has been lost.
