The American Turtle Submarine

American Major General Robert Howe and his paltry force of between 650 and 900 men were severely outnumbered. Campbell also outflanked the Continental forces by locating a path through the swamp to the right of the American position. Howe ordered a retreat during the process, the Georgia took heavy losses when it was cut off from other forces. The Patriots lost 83 men and 483 were captured, while the British lost only 3 soldiers and another 10 soldiers were wounded.

This week I decided to tackle the Battle of Moultrie that occurred n June 28th, 1776. This battle is also named the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, which occurred between the British and American Continentals and militia.1 The British were led by General Sir Henry Clinton and the Americans were under the overall command of General Lee and his subordinate, General William Moultrie.2 The British began make preparations for their southern operations during the war in January 1776 and assigned General Clinton as overall commander.3

In Paul Revere’s Ride, by David Hackett Fischer, Mr. Fischer describes the challenges of the early American Revolution from both sides. Thomas Gage, a British General, was trying to resist the colonies, but was unsuccessful. Gage was not able to succeed because the British were lacking numbers, and Gage was lacking the mental strength needed to fight. The colonies, led mainly by Paul Revere, were not only strong in numbers and leaders, but were also united in the fact that they were determined to gain their freedom and a democracy.

This report was commissioned to review the Collins Class Submarine Project “Deep trouble”. The primary objective of this report is to analyses the dimensions of risk that need continuous management due to inter-relationships of all elements within Project Management and the importance of stakeholders. The topic was researched through extensive sources, including government bodies, course materials and other sources to provide the relevant information.

The USS MIdway was built in 1947 in the United States. The majority of workers who worked on the midway were women, the reason is because most of the men were out in war at the time. They used two different types of process to build the midway. They first type is that they used rivets. The process of using a type of bolt through both pieces of metal to keep it intact and keep it together. The second type of process is GMAW also known as mig welding. This type of welding is used by a machine that uses a roll of steel wire and melts it to fill or combined metal. They used this type of welding and use layers to make the bond more strong for it to last longer.

General William Howe (G.W.H) sent 2,500 soldiers to walk in the water to make a costly attack. The third time the British decided to attack they were in luck because the ammunition from the Americans decided to not work causing them to retreat. The most expensive of them all was the Battle of Bunker Hill which is were the British ended up winning. Not being bothered by the American army that retreated, they instead prepared for another attack on the country side. Lingering in Boston helped with the fact that they fought about nine months later (THAT'S HOW LONG IT TAKE A BABY TO BE BORN :0) In Boston as the army was there was the epidemic of smallpox and Howe was able to protect

When Thomas Worthington lost his father at a very young age and would be raised by his older brothers. At eighteen he spent two years with a merchant marine. The merchant Marines at this time were battling pirates who were trying to take American’s hostage because we had no way of protecting our merchant fleet after the revolutionary war. Before this the British had

In the thirty-eight years of the United States Naval Submarine Service no United States submarine had ever sunk an enemy vessel. With the ignition of the Second World War the poorly equipped and poorly trained Silent Service, nicknamed for the limited access of the media to the actions and achievements of the submarines, would be thrust into the position American submariners had longed for. The attack on Pearl Harbor left the United States Navy with few options for retribution. The three remaining aircraft carriers were to be “the last line of defense.” Commander Stuart S. Murray made the precarious situation clear to his skippers, captains, upon sending them on their first war patrol. He stressed the importance of smart sailing by

Howe fought in many battles that impacted British and destroyed the colonists throughout the course of his lifetime. General Howe fought in a major battle... the battle of New York! In June, Howe ordered his army to sail towards New York. They arrived at New York on June 25, 1776. The first landed on Staten Island, east of Manhattan. More ships came to New York everyday for about a month after Howe's arrival. Then on July 12, William's brother, Admiral Richard Howe, arrived in New York. With him were about 150 warships, carrying 10,000 British and 1,000 German soldiers, plus guns, ammunition, and other supplies. William Howe is now commanding an army of about 32,000 soldiers and is ready for the attack on New York. Then on August 25, the British started mowing down the Colonists who started to retreat. The British have won this battle and are one step closer to whiping out the

In 1791 the United States government assigned Major General Arthur St. Clair with the task of forcing the Native Americans to honor the Treaty of Fort Harmar. In order to accomplish this feat, St. Clair had to march his group from what is now known as Cincinnati, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Indiana (Buffenbarger). Neither the United States Army nor St. Clair could have ever guessed what the end result of this mission would be. Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami tribe, led a confederacy onto St. Clair’s camp and proceeded to commit the greatest defeat the United States Army would ever see by the Native Americans (“St. Clair’s Defeat”). There were many events that gave Little Turtle and his

One of the main reasons why the French even helped America in the first place was because of the charm of Benjamin Franklin, who successfully convinced the French to help them in the Revolutionary War. This continues the common theme of public knowledge of the Revolutionary War not always being the complete truth. 3. Benjamin Franklin, who was in favor of the use of privateering, said that “We expect to make their merchants sick of a contest in which so much is risked and nothing gained.” (50) This next example is shown through the use of privateers for the American Navy. While the average American would assume that the American Navy during the Revolutionary War succeeded with the help of John Paul Jones and other richer, more well-known heroes, this was far more the entire truth. Privateers played a huge role in the success of the American Navy. A privateer is a legalized pirate who was allowed to plunder enemy commercial ships. They, in reality, did far more damage to British

1812: July 16 - 18 -- The war was hardly a month old when CONSTITUTION, on the way from Chesapeake Bay to New York, met up with a squadron of five British ships. Immediately after recognizing she was surrounded by the enemy, the wind died. Her escape is now legendary. With both sides becalmed and just out of gunnery range, there ensued what amounted to a 36 hour, slow-speed chase. CONSTITUTION's crew kept her ahead of the English by rowing (known to Sailors as the "white ash breeze"), by attempting to tow her with the ship's boats. Then her First Lieutenant (XO), Lt. Charles Morris, suggested a procedure known as "kedging," in which an anchor is carried out ahead of the ship, dropped, and the ship drawn up to it. This back-breaking task was carried out and when a breeze sprang up at dawn on July 18, CONSTITUTION was far enough ahead of her pursuers to escape by sail.

At midnight Britain's General Gage came up with a secret plan. He would send 650 to 900 British soldiers to cross over the Charles River, and into Lexington. Lucky for the Patriots Paul Revere was going out for a ride, and saw the British soldiers marching their way into Lexington. It’s a myth that Paul Revere, and the other riders shouted “The British are coming!” In fact the reason why Paul Revere didn’t warn the townspeople was because many of the Americans that still considered them as British, would not understand this warning.

In battling the British in the Revolutionary War, the American rebels did just as the great French military and political leader, Napoleon Bonaparte advised, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”. Though there were a great deal of missed opportunities and misguided actions taken by both sides of this war, none were as great as those by the ministers in London and British Generals Howe and Burgoyne. However, of these three, one held a great deal of responsibility for Britain’s failure to suppress the American rebels by 1777. This person was indeed, General Howe.

American literature has evolved greatly from the Native Americans to 1870’s. American literature has changed, it teaches us how we have become more independent ourselves. The World on a Turtle’s Back, a myth, The Scarlet Letter, a book in a puritan setting, and A Rose for Emily is a southern gothic story. American literature would not be the same today without these forms of writing. The teachings from these are passed down generation to generation.
