“To Read by the Light of the Binnacle”: Charles Hunter On Board USS Potomac
No full textThe midshipmen of the United States Navy were caught in an uncomfortable situation in the antebellum period. The system for their training and education, modeled after Britain’s Royal Navy, had not changed from the American Navy’s reconstitution in 1794. Midshipmen went to sea to receive on-the-job training, working as junior officers integral to the running of their ships. They were supposed to receive an education as well, and many naval ships carried schoolmasters for this reason. Although this system had apparently worked for several decades, by the 1840s many officers and reformers felt that this approach to the education of future naval officers was failing the midshipmen in two respects. First, they maintained that midshipmen were morally and physically endangered by life at sea. Second, they argued that midshipmen were not receiving the education required to become effective officers in the rapidly changing nineteenth century

Beneath the surface: An examination of the characterization of African-Americans in submarine-themed American film
No full textThis research and dissertation examines the inclusion, status, and prominence of African-American characters found in the submarine-themed filmography from 1933 to 2008 and determines whether or not these films accurately represent the contribution of African-American men in the United States Navy submarine force by qualitatively comparing the depiction in film to the historical record. The research is based on primary source demographic metrics to perform a qualitative analysis of the submarine-themed filmography. In order to understand and defend the thesis the work first established the philosophical framework within which the argument is based. Then the process of undertaking the documentation of the previously uncompiled historical record of African-American participation in the United State Submarine Service was performed. Once these foundational bases were in place, a broad analysis of the entire submarine-themed filmography and an in-depth analysis of a subset of benchmark films was performed. The conclusions gleaned from this research determined that the submarine-themed filmography ignored, minimized, and misrepresented the role of the African-American submariner in the United States Navy
The Formulation of a Graphic Language
Get PDFA philosophical study of fundamental concepts in delivering the two-dimensional rendition of basic forms. Starting in the late 1950s, the artist posed himself multiple problems about pictorial perception discovered when rendering form, then created 70 black-and-white plates and 20 figures, each a separate work of art, to illustrate the effort. The accompanying text discusses his reflections on his successes and failures and his philosophy regarding the artistic attempt in general, a personal aesthetics.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/jvg-books/1001/thumbnail.jp
