Military Role In Ocean Discovery

1950- Oceanographic vessels provided data on features of the ocean basin with lead to the discovery of mid-ocean ridges.

Thesis: The creation of submarines that were used to win Civil wars and control countries were a part of a rapidly growing aspect of technology.

To begin with, if I was currently an advocate for the environment and animals I would first focus on the Orcas, or killer whales, at theme parks, specifically Sea World. First of all, Sea World is inhumane. Five of the Orcas currently at sea world were “whale-napped” from the oceans they called home. For example, Tilikum, one of the most know whales in the Sea World franchise, is now thirty-two years old. He was captured at the age of two by, which means he has been in captivity for thirty years. And, before anyone says Tilikum was injured so they “rescued” him I want to say that it is fact that Tilikum was not injured. He was taken from his family and confined to a tiny tank just so people could make a hefty profit. Also, if the Orcas are

All vessels and ports are vulnerable to bombings or WMD attacks. Because of their locations and volume of business ports, cruise ship and ferry terminals are challenging to protect from security threats. They are usually in areas that consist of a lot of people, which makes them a target for terrorism. Additionally, often times these areas also have liquefied natural gas facilities which will make them more vulnerable and attract terrorists. The bombing of the Navy Destroyer, the USS Cole illustrates that any vessel can be attacked. Terrorists utilized a small boat to serve as an improvised explosive device as they navigated it into the ship while it was refueling.

The United States Navy has not always been the navy we see sailing the oceans and flying the skies in the 21st century. In 1900, they were the sixth largest, ranking behind England, France, Russia, Germany, and Italy. They existed, “For the purpose of defending our nation against attacks from any nation on earth, we confidently believe that our Navy is amply sufficient and fully adequate, and for any other purpose we need no Navy at all.” Pre-World War One, the U.S. Navy only attempted to patrol their own Atlantic coast, assume responsibility for the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the waters off of Canada and South America. Stated by the House Naval Committee in February 1913, it is obvious

The English, French, and Dutch all sent sailors to explore the coast of North America in the late 1500's and the early 1600's. They were told to find a Northwest Passage and report it back and the passage was a direct water route between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean through North America. All the explorers could not find it but they had other outcomes and long lasting effects. For example, John Cabot was the first explorer sent to look for the passage and he came for England. He did not find anything but he mapped the coast. The same thing happened to the French hired sailor, Giovanni de Verrazano. He was only able to explore the coast of North America from Nova Scotia to North and South Carolina. The real effects started in 1535 when Jacques Carter started his journey.

In the 1400’s, Europeans were finally able to explore across the Atlantic Ocean b/c if the astrolabe (finds latitude – from ancient Greece) and the compass (invented by Chinese): Also used triangular sails (developed by Arabs), which allowed ships to zigzag into the wind.

When people go on cruise trips, one of the reasons they intend to enjoy their time off is to experience the sights and sounds of the open sea. In Annie Dillard’s Mornings Like This, she includes in her collection of found poems a poem that instills a similar vivid sense of imagery that one would experience by the ocean. Her found poem, called “The Pathfinder of the Seas,” includes a variety of words and sentences that relate to sailing in the sea. They were extracted from other books related to scientific research of the sky and the sea. The author brings together these distinct elements and structures them in a poem. This gives them a new home and, subsequently, gives the work a new meaning. Her goal for the reader is to question their previous knowledge and find a new perspective on life through the interactions with the sea in her poem.

The Navy’s mission revolves around not only the sea, but also the air and the land. It secures and protects the oceans around the world to create peace and stability, making the seas safe for travel and trade.

The Age of Discovery is the European historical period from around the 15th century to the end of the 18th century, during which extensive overseas exploration came to be an important factor in the expansion of European culture. It was the Portuguese discovery of the Atlantic Archipelago of the Azores, the discovery of a once unknown ocean route to the East in 1498, and the ultimate discovery of the western coast of Africa, and the trans-Atlantic discovery of the Americas on behalf of Spanish Crown in 1492 that led to the numerous global expeditions that would change history. These first small expeditions led to several more naval expeditions in Asia, Africa, Australia, and all the way to the Americas. These trips continued into the late 19th

The movie was about how the Navy Seals started and how it changed the whole world today, by changing us Americans way to fight for our country’s freedom. It starts from the beginning by telling you who were the first to become Navy Seals were called by their nickname “Frog Men”. They got their nickname from their new equipment “flippers” and by the way they looked in their newly fashioned swimsuits. They first fought against the Japanese with a cay bar, and bag of explosives. The Seals name is an acronym Sea, Air, and Land. They began their first things by blowing up obstacles to make amphibious landings possible in the pacific and had to do the same on the Atlantic to blow open the gate way for D-day. They were born in WWII. The U.S. Navy

Also breaks through ice with specialized ships and keeps track of icebergs to help direct commercial vessels.8) Marine Safety - Sets safety standards and inspects commercial vessels to ensure those standards are being maintained. 9)Marine Environmental Protection - Prevents and responds to oil and chemical spills, stops illegal dumping in U.S. waters and works prevent an invasive plant and animal species.10)Illegal Drug Interdiction - Uses sea vessels and aircraft to intercept illegal drug shipments and collect intelligence.11)Fish Stock Protection - Ensures foreigners don’t raid U.S. fish stocks.

In conclusion, due to ROVs capability to go into places that are too small, or put people in danger. And how they can go all the way to the bottom of the ocean with no problem. And lastly, how they can find missing ships and treasures that have been lost for both a very long time, or a short period of time. ROVs are absolutely valuable for underwater research. The future is full of many different things and many positive changes and differences and hopefully ROVs will be a part of that positive difference from the world today. Don’t put lives in
