Ensuring access in the littoral will be one of the major challenges facing maritime forces very soon. The U.S. Navy has a vested interest in demonstrating that it can gain access in a non-permissive environment; indeed, it must in order to support the forward presence and crisis response missions articulated in the U.S. National Security Strategy and the National Military Strategy. The littoral environment features a host of unique challenges that include compressed space and reaction time, a cluttered environment, unusual oceanographic sound profiles, as well as climate patterns very different from typical open ocean norms. Additionally, a potential adversary can present numerous area denial strategies including coastal defenses, fast patrol boats, small diesel submarines, mines, and integrated littoral defenses. Ensuring access will require U.S. forces to incorporate Operational Maneuver from the Sea in consonance with realistic training and technological development. Building effective littoral warfare methodologies is an evolutionary process and will take time, but ensuring access is not an insurmountable task.

This thesis addresses the current configuration of surface naval vessels for employment in the information domain. It will address how surface assets such as the Aegis Guided Missile Cruiser (CG) and Destroyer (DDG) fit into the modern era of naval information dominance. An evaluation of past experiences and current technology will be used to recommend how to employ current surface assets information operations (IO) capabilities. This thesis also will include an evaluation of current topics regarding information dominance and the cyber domain, focusing on the areas of electronic warfare, cyberwarfare, and military information support operations (MISO).

Americans think of the Korean War as death and hardship in the bitter hills of Korea. It was certainly this, and for those who fought this is what they generally saw. Yet every foot of the struggles forward, every step of the retreats, the overwhelming victories, the withdrawals and last ditch stands had their seagoing support and overtones. The spectacular ones depended wholly on amphibious power -- the capability of the twentieth century scientific Navy to overwhelm land-bound forces at the point of contact. Yet the all pervading influence of the sea was present even when no major landing or retirement or reinforcement highlighted its effect. When navies clash in gigantic battle or hurl troops ashore under irresistible concentration of ship-borne guns and planes, nations understand that sea power is working. It is not so easy to understand that this tremendous force may effect its will silently, steadily, irresistibly even though no battles occur. No clearer example exists of this truth in wars dark record than in Korea. Communist-controlled North Korea had slight power at sea except for Soviet mines. So beyond this strong underwater phase the United States Navy and allies had little opposition on the water. It is, therefore, easy to fail to recognize the decisive role navies played in this war fought without large naval battles.

I have generally taken it for granted that military histories are meticulously recorded in one form or another - naval operations citing deck logs screened for important tidbits of historical value supplemented by expert studies; interviews of important personages; and books and articles written by military academics or the participants themselves about this pivotal period in American military history. However, I was badly let down when I discovered that the naval operations and casualties involving smaller ships during the Vietnam War have been largely ignored. The paucity of recorded histories seemed inexcusable to me. It is a part of our military history that deserves attention because of the lessons that may be learned and the recognition of the courage of those involved regardless of whether the war was popular or not. These are my recollections of the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975. Several historical accounts taken from open-source material are included to provide the context and background of these experiences and those of the other contributors cited during this historical naval war fighting. The main focal point of this book is the surface ship arm of the U.S. Navy, the so-called "small boys," and how they all played a part in the conduct and subsequent closing moments of the Vietnam War. BOOK REVIEW - Haze Grey and Underway: A Memoir of U.S. Navy Surface Operations in the Western Pacific Supporting the Vietnam War, 1965 to 1975 (Vol. 1) Reviewed by Charles H. Bogart Captain Kaye provides an excellent account on his service in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War in the first volume of his memoir. He states that the reason he wrote this self-published book is that almost all of the books and articles about the U.S. Navy's presence in the Vietnam War focus on naval aviation. However, the author contends that the naval air war was only made possible by the direct and indirect support of a variety of non-aviation combat and non-combat ships, the "small boys." Kaye notes with sadness that the U.S. Navy cannot agree on which small boys saw service in the Vietnam War, but can provide detail accounts of the employment of its carriers and attached air units. The author mixes within his autobiographical account of his Vietnam-era service official documents that amplify his story. Included within both books are some excellent photos that enhance and bring to life the story. The heart of the book concerns the author's service on board two ships, as Salvage Office on USS Lipan (ATF 85) and as Weapons Officer and temporary XO on USS Richard D. Anderson (DD 786). Kaye entered the U.S. Navy via Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. Due to a shortage of officers onboard Lipan he qualified as OOD during his first bridge watch. Before reporting on board Anderson, the author received training to be the ship's Operation Officer, but with no background in gunnery, he was instead assigned to be the ship's Weapon Officer. The book is full of accounts about how dysfunctional the Navy became during the 1960s as it sought to fight an unpopular war with obsolete ships, 5-inch ammunition shortages, and a lower deck workforce pool that reflected all the racial turmoil that American society was then undergoing. His tale of a sailor armed with a loaded rifle holding the Captain of Lipan hostage and the Navy's response to this incident shows an institution that had lost its way. In contrast, his stories of Anderson on the gun line off of the coast of Vietnam tells the tale of American sailors giving their all to carry out the missions assigned to them. The author ends this book with an excellent list of YouTube videos showing U.S. Navy operations during the Vietnam War. This book is great. Hopefully, over the next few years, more surface sailors will follow in the footsteps of Captain Kaye and take the time to record in writing their experience in the U.S. Navy.
