It's a question that is not easily answered,but what truly was the impact of the Battle ofMidway?

If one were to look at the sheer statistics,there's an obvious answer: the U.S. Navy lostone carrier and a destroyer to the ImperialJapanese Navy's (IJN) four carriers and heavycruiser. However, its clear that Midway repre-sented something so much more than just thesunken ships.

In response to a question about what hewould like people to remember about U.S.veterans who fought in the Battle of Midwayretired Marine Corps Maj. Albert Grassellipaused and offered a succinct answer.

“We won,” he said.The Battle of Midway is being commemo-

rated this year for its 70th anniversary. Thebattle, which took place from June 4-8 1942,was a turning point in the Pacific War and ar-guably set the stage for the United States tohelp win the Second World War. A ceremonywill be taking place at the Navy Memorial lo-cated in downtown Washington on June 4.

The battle is noted as being the first deci-sive victory by the U.S. in the war with Japan.The IJN had already made broad strokes in the

Pacific, beginning with the attack on PearlHarbor, the invasion of the Philippines,Malaya and Singapore, the Battle of Wake Is-land and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea.

What had changed at Midway?The Amer-icans had scored a huge victory on the intelli-gence front by the cracking of JN-25, theJapanese navy's cryptography used for high-importance messages such as ship move-ments and commands. Adm. Chester Nimitzand his staff had taken a large gamble andwon. The IJN no longer was seen as the invul-nerable force it once was.

As mentioned before, first and foremostthere was the loss of four aircraft carriers: theAkagi, Kaga, Hiryu, and the Soryu. As the IJNhad begun the Pacific war with 10 carriers, itwas the largest and most developed carrierfleet in the world, and historians believe thatthey had the men and the aircraft to backthem up. Following Midway, there was onlythe Shokaku and Zuikaku left available for of-fensive operations. However, with the loss ofthese carriers at Midway, the Japanese foundthemselves short of fleet carriers, and almostas important: trained aircrews.

The loss of life at Midway was substantial:there were thousands of deaths, but they wereoverwhelmingly Japanese service members

As we move into the summermonths, there are many things thatcome about to enjoy: a day at the beach,a barbeque, even mowing the lawn. Butwith these previously forgotten activi-ties of the summer comes new respon-sibility for all hands to remain safe.

With the newfound warmth comesnew dangers which require everyone'sattention in order for the Navy tomaintain operational readiness and ef-ficiency: after all, a chain is only asstrong as it weakest link. Jim Peake, thesafety installation program director forNaval Support ActivityWashington hasa series of helpful hints for Sailors topay attention to.

"During the summer months, whenwe feel jolly and sometimes us olderpeople want to feel young again, you'regoing out and doing things that youhaven't done in six, seven, eight monthsand you might not use your basic safetypractices," said Peake.

Peake emphasizes the importanceof safety, especially when it comes tochildren, during the summer monthsand beyond. One of the most impor-tant venues to maintain safety aware-ness in is around water: pools, beachesand beyond. Especially when it comesto water safety, a fun day at the pool canturn into a tragedy in the blink of an eye.

"Always watch your kids [around thepool]" said Peake. "It only takes a matterof seconds for something to happen."

When it comes to pool safety, there

are a number of important things tokeep in mind: always swim with a bud-dy, no horseplay, be careful while diving,and maintain proper rescue equipmentat all times. In the same vein is boatingsafety, where the one should be sure tomaintain that rescue gear and proper-ly-fitted life jackets, and an alert and ofcourse, sober, operator.

At the beach, it is important for allchildren to be properly supervised at alltimes, and never swim without a life-guard present. One often ignored pieceof advice is one concerning riptides: al-ways swim parallel to the shore in orderto escape a rip current, and then swimback in. Fighting a riptide will only tireone out and could prove to be danger-

What does Armed Forces Day mean to you?

Around The Yard

“While we have our normal day,there is someone posted on the wallaway from their families and wesometimes take that for granted.”

- Carlos Cardova,Engineer, NAVFAC

“It's honoring the people, past,present and future who serve inthe military.”

- Senior Chief Francis Blindt,IT Support, Field Support Activity

“It's a day that represents not onlythe Navy but the entire military'sstand that they take for our country.”

- SW3 Kevin Singleton,Steelworker, Naval Observatory

“We want to excite students aboutscience as a field of study,” saidCyndi Etsler, Associate Director ofthe Center for Science and Tech-nology Education at Purdue Uni-versity Calumet. “We also strive tomotivate students to select morescience courses than they other-wise might have chosen and toshow students how their classroomscience courses translate to the realworld of work.”

Integrated into the school year,students learn to understand con-cepts like longitude, latitude, den-sity, and buoyancy as well as theskills needed to operate seven dif-ferent stations – officer of the deck,research, propulsion, main ballast,trim/ballast, drive/dive and navi-gation.

The Mission Ocean center inthe Cold War Gallery was recentlyinstalled through the combined ef-

forts of the Naval Historical Foun-dation (NHF), Purdue UniversityCalumet, and the Office of NavalResearch, said Dave Colamaria,Digital Historian, Naval HistoricalFoundation.

“NHF Education Director andretired Navy captain, John Paulson,

former commanding officer of thenuclear attack submarine USSPhiladelphia (SSN 690), as well as aretired school teacher, workedclosely with the team from Purdue-Calumet to ensure that the simula-tion was running smoothly and ledthe students through the program.”

The final exam, held at NHHC’sColdWar Gallery, required studentsto form teams to independentlyengage in a final mission scenario,using science, engineering andmathematics concepts to solve vir-tual deep sea problems from a sim-ulated submarine control room.Teamwork, strategic thinking,problem solving and communica-tion are the skills necessary for stu-dents to be successful. Each stu-dent's success is measured accord-ing to his or her proficiency in spe-cific skill areas and the ability tocollaborate with peers in solvingproblems.

“Each child had a differentrole, and everyone had to playtheir part in order to achieve theirultimate goal in the mission,” saidCeleste Fackrell, a mother of aWestridge student.

Fackrell’s daughter, Hannah,said she had a great time being partof the program. “I like how we aregiven more freedom to experiment,more responsibility to take chargefor ourselves,” she said.

In addition to the lessonslearned in class, Fackrell said shehas noticed a change in her daugh-ter outside of the classroom andbelieves it is because of the MissionOcean program.

“It has gone beyond the scienceclass,” she said. “I have watchedmy daughter and her friends whilethey are together and they delegatemore; everybody is willing to pitchin to make things happen.”

Westridge science teacherArchie Hill, said he also noticed theteamwork the children have devel-oped through the year-long pro-gram. “There are a lot of things thatwe can teach kids about team-work,” said Hill. “But, when theyare put in charge of a submarineand they have to rely on each otherto direct a vessel without being ableto see where they are going – I havenever seen kids their age pull to-gether and do things like this be-fore.”

This Week in Naval History3Thursday, May 17, 2012

Over the past decade, the war in the Mid-dle East has called more than 2 million U.S.service members to duty from across theglobe. Many of these members have seenpain, suffering and death, or have experi-enced their own traumatic incidents.

A U.S. Army Public Health Commandstudy shows an 80 percent increase in therates of suicide among soldiers since 2004.Suicide rates aren't the only numbers on therise, depression, anxiety and other mentalhealth conditions are increasing as well.

The 579th Medical Group mental healthclinic located at JBAB is available to provideservices to active duty members.

The mental health clinic staff providescomprehensive care to support each pa-tient's specific and unique needs. For moreinformation or to make an appointment call202-767-0611.

In addition to providing mental healthservices, the 579th MDG also offers an Alcoholand Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment(ADAPT) program that supports active dutyservice members with drug and alcohol prob-lems. ADAPT staff members provide treat-ment plans and rehabilitation to assist pa-tients on the road to sobriety. Additionally, thestaff works with each patient to ensure theyhave the best chances of success.

The JBAB chapel is another agency avail-able to provide help for those in need.

"It is not unusual to experience a 'dark

night of the soul'," Ch. (Lt. Col) Mark Camp-bell, JBAB senior installation Chaplain said."When the depression persists, get help.Chaplains and chaplain assistants are here tohelp.We will work with issues that affect men-tal, spiritual, and physical aspects of life. Youare guaranteed full confidentiality when youseek a chaplain for counseling. "

Campbell said members do not need tohave a religious affiliation to receive servicesfrom the chapel staff. Campbell said his bestpiece of advice for someone battling depres-sion, suicidal thoughts or post traumaticstress disorder is, "Don't go it alone. Seek aWingman or Shipmate. Hopelessness and afalse sense of needing to bear the weight of aburden alone keep us stuck."

Chaplains are always available and readyto provide one-on-one counseling. Campbelladded that this includes scheduled counsel-ing when the situation permits, and drop-incounseling for urgent matters. Members cancontact chapel staff at 202-767-5900 or call202-439-4243 after duty hours.

Another agency offering help, resourcesand counseling is the National Alliance forMental Illness (NAMI).

"I really believe in education. There is somuch misinformation out there and it canmake mental illness so much worse foreveryone involved," Jill Sheppard Daven-port, NAMI board of director's member,said. "Just like with any other illness, earlyintervention is so important - the outcomesare much better if people start rehabilitatingas soon as possible."

Davenport and a team of volunteers will

introduce "Ending the Silence," an educationprogram for high school students about howto recognize signs and symptoms of mentalillness.The class will be held at the JBABYouthCenter, May 11 at 6:30 p.m.

"Do not be afraid to ask for and receivehelp," Davenport said.

NAMI-DC offers support, education andresources for families, friends and individ-uals affected by mental illness. All classesand resources are offered free of charge. Forfurther information about NAMI resourcesvisit www.namidc.org or call 1-800-950-6864 (NAMI).

Another acronym to remember that couldpossibly save someone's life is ACE. The ACESuicide InterventionTraining Program, devel-oped by the U.S. Army Public Health Com-mand, is listed in the Suicide Prevention Re-source Center and American Foundation BestPractice Registry for Suicide Prevention.

ACE: Ask, Care and EscortAsk your buddy-Ask directly "Are you thinking of killing

yourself?"Care for your buddy- Calmly control the situation, do not use

force, and be safe.-Actively listen to show understanding and

produce relief- Remove any means that could be used

for self-injuryEscort your buddy- Never leave your buddy alone- Escort to chain of command, chaplain,

behavioral health professional, or primarycare provider

- Call the National Suicide Prevention Life-

line by dialing 1-800-273-8255 (TALK)Tech. Sgt. Ami Parrish, JBAB Public Works

Department unit training manager, reachedout for help when she was feeling depressed.

"When I was a training manager for Secu-rity Forces in Germany, I briefed suicide pre-vention, and in the briefing I would share myown struggles with depression," Parrish said."Following my own experiences I would letpeople know who to contact for help."

Parrish recalls after one particular briefing,another Air Force member told her sheshouldn't share that part of her life because itmade her appear weak.

"I disagreed, it showed that I'm human,"Parrish said. "We all sway in the ebb and flowof life, and for some it takes a little longer toget back to normal after hitting a low spot."

Parrish believes that it shows tremendousstrength to recognize that it's taking a little toolong to bounce back and understand that it'sOK to seek help.

"I've become more resilient as the yearshave passed, but I do know there's a helpinghand extended out to me," Parrish said. "I justhave to be strong enough to reach out and ac-cept the help."

There are many avenues and resourcesavailable for those in need. All levels of lead-ership in the Department of Defense arededicated to suicide prevention and takingactions to prevent future U.S. service mem-bers and their dependents from taking theirown lives.

We have entered the ‘peak season’ forHousehold Goods (HHG) moves. Each yearabout 225,000 DOD (and Coast Guard)moves take place in the summer months. Al-most 65 percent of all DOD HHG goodsmoves are performed between May 15th andSeptember 30th. And the “peak of the peakseason” is the end of June to the beginning ofJuly. The large number of summer moves isdue in large part to service members’ justifi-able desire to move at the conclusion andprior to the start of their children’s schoolyears. The sheer volume of moves puts DODand civilian transportation and contractingcapabilities to the test and has proved diffi-cult during the past several years.

The U.S Transportation Command(TRANSCOM) owns the Defense PersonalProperty Program as well as the Defense Per-sonal Property System (DPS). At Navy instal-lations, the command which takes the leadon these matters is Naval Supply SystemsCommand (NAVSUP). TRANSCOM andNAVSUP have implemented corrective ac-tions designed to mitigate last summer’s dif-ficulties and improve the quality of serviceduring the upcoming peak season. However,TRANSCOM and NAVSUP rely heavily oncontracted moving services. Factors outsideDOD control, such as the continuing eco-nomic conditions and an increase in privatesector moves continue to negatively impactthe moving industry’s capacity.

Service members anticipating a PCS movethis summer are encouraged to take a number

of steps to improve the overall process:1. As soon as you receive your change of

station orders you must begin the moveprocess.

2. Plan your move!3. Visit www.move.mil and review the

move planning tools available online.4. Establish an account at DPS, proceed

with self-counseling and immediately pro-vide a copy of your official orders to yoursupporting personal property office.

5. Select your move dates early and en-sure flexibility in packing, pick-up and deliv-ery dates. Your moving dates are not con-firmed until the moving company contactsyou and confirms.

6. Stay in contact with the householdgoods moving company, now called Trans-portation Service Provider (TSP), throughoutthe move process.

7. Immediately notify the local personalproperty office if any unforeseen issues ariseduring the move.

8. Lastly, consider performing a Person-ally Procured Move (PPM). Eligible servicemembers may be paid up to 95 percent ofthe government’s cost for performing a sim-ilar move.

In conclusion, planning, preparation,flexibility and communication are the keysto executing a successful household goodsmove. Contact your local personal propertyoffice for additional information, trainingand guidance!

The Empire of Japan never achieved thelevel of operational readiness that they hadenjoyed prior to the battle, as according to IJNdoctrine it took nearly two years for aircrewto be properly trained. By the Battle of thePhilippine Sea, which was called by Ameri-cans "the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot", pi-

lots were being shot out of the sky en massedue to their relative lack of experience andtraining.

Ultimately, the Battle of Midway repre-sented attrition in its aftermath. It was clearat this point that the Japanese war machinewas not going to be able to make the strokesthat it had previously made in the Pacificwithout grand tactical changes and reinforce-ments that they proved unable to achieve.The Battle of Midway represented somethinggreater than the four carriers and 3,000 lives:it represented the beginning of the end for thePacific War.

The Life of Thomas B. Reed6 Thursday, May 17, 2012

Book review

Reviewed by Commander YoussefAboul-Enein, MSC, USN

Mr.Speaker! The Life and Times of ThomasB. Reed: The Man Who Broke the Filibuster byJames Grant. Published by Simon and Schus-ter, NewYork. 2011, 410 pages.

Understanding America’s history can be ajoyous lifelong endeavor of reading, watch-ing films, seminars, and documentaries, vis-iting national sites, and discussing aspects ofthe history of the United States with otherAmericans. There are occasions when a trueunderstanding of an era of American historycan be acquired through delving into thelives of political leaders who were famous intheir times, but have become less so in cur-rent times. Thomas Brackett Reed (1839-1902) of Maine is such a figure, serving overtwo decades in twelve consecutive congress-es in the House of Representatives and risingto House Speaker twice from 1889 to 1891and again from 1895 to 1899. James Grant isthe author of several books on finance and fi-nancial history, my introduction to him camein two books, the first on the American in-dustrialist Bernard Baruch and the secondwas not on America’s economic history buthis biography of President John Adams. Hislatest book looks at Thomas Reed, his influ-ence on the Republican Party, Congress, andthe nation.

The book discusses Reed’s education as alawyer, and his service in the U.S. Navy dur-ing the last year of the CivilWar as Acting Pay-master aboard the USS Sybil, a riverboat that

plied southern waterways. Reed did not seeaction, and the section on his naval servicereveals the monotony of life patrolling theMississippi River, which by 1864 had beencleared of Confederate threats. Reed re-turned to Portland to practice law, and beganto make his reputation of public service bygetting elected as a state legislator and im-proving Maine’s judicial mechanisms withthe establishment of a superior court to ad-dress backlogs in court cases. The volumecontains interesting court cases Reed servedas a lawyer; one was an adultery case that by1870 drew great interest. In an era before TVand radio, people gathered far and wide to

ous even for very strong swimmers."Especially for Sailors who are trained,

they might think 'oh, I can handle it'," saidPeake. "But it is important to never let yourguard down."

Even at home one must keep that guardup. When working on the lawn, always wearproper footwear and maintain extreme cau-tion when operating power tools and lawn-mowers. Maintain a perimeter around grillsthat young children must adhere to.

Peake also encourages people to thinksafety when it comes to summer vacationsand transportation. He emphasizes the im-portance of only driving when well restedand prepared, keeping one's vehicle properly

maintained, maintaining contact with some-one while travelling, especially alone, and toeat light meals when on the road.

"Always look out for that other person,"said Peake. "You might be being very safe,but he or she is not and you have to be pre-pared for that."

What is the most important thing to re-member while having a fun and safe sum-mer? Peake emphasizes the importance ofhydration, especially when working.

"One of the key things is to always drinkplenty of water," said Peake.

listen to high profile cases, and listen to orationsfrom local politicians.

In United States Congress readers will be intro-duced to some of the most contentious issues of theGilded Age (1870 to 1893). Reed as Speaker wouldattempt to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment pro-tecting the voting rights of African-Americans; thebill was defeated by filibuster (a legislative proce-dure to obstruct the passage of the bill by extendingdebate). In Reed’s time, the filibuster included hav-ing legislators physically present, but refusing to ac-knowledge their presence when called, therefore aquorum could not even be formed, this disappear-ing quorum would be addressed by Reed by askingthe member if they deny their presence, and thenmarking them present in the chamber to the objec-tion of the member.

A chapter covers the constitutionality of replac-ing gold coinage with paper money and the legal-ism of gold’s convertibility with market rates fluc-tuating. The debate hinged on the constitutionalprovision in Article 1, Section 8, “Congress shallhave the power to coin Money, regulate the Valuethereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standardof Weights and Measures.” What does coin moneymean? Is this literally coin or print? During the Civ-il War, greenbacks (today’s color of our currency)was developed, printed, and taken off the goldstandard as an emergency measure leading to aboom in the economy, can this be extended indef-initely? This was the era before the understandingof modern economics and what we would todaycall monetary policy.

You will gain insights into several PresidentialAdministrations from Ulysses S. Grant toTheodore Roosevelt, and experience the debate onthe appropriate size of the federal government, therollback of post-Civil War reconstruction policies,and Reed’s final act of resigning in protest in 1899over the America’s maintenance of colonial pos-sessions in the Philippines, and Puerto Rico ac-quired in the Spanish-American War. Reed agreedwith Mark Twain that the United States should notbe a colonial power, when Reed resigned the Unit-ed States Army was involved in an insurgency warin the Philippines it would last on and off until1913. Grant’s book is an excellent read for thosewith a real passion for American political historyin two decades after the American Civil War.

The Naval War Collegehosted its 25th annual Col-lege of Distance EducationDinner and Philip A. CrowlLecture Series at the Cateringand Conference Center locat-ed on the Washington NavyYard, May 8.

The dinner is part of thecollege's tradition which be-gan in 1987 with studentsand faculty on the Washing-ton, D.C. campus celebratingthe completion of an aca-demic year. The dinner alsohonors Professor Philip A.Crowl, chairman of the Strat-egy Department of the NavalWar College from 1972 to1980, with a memorial lecturepresented by a prominentscholar or national figure.

According to a proclama-tion signed in 1995 by thenpresident of the Naval WarCollege, Rear Adm. Joseph C.Strasser, Professor Crowl"...was the driving force of theStrategy Department thr-oughout those years during atime of major change andreinvigoration."

This year's lecture waspresented by Rhode Island's46th U.S. Senator, the Honor-

able John Francis Reed. Reedspoke to students and facultyin attendance on social, eco-nomic and technologicalchanges throughout theworld that will shape theU.S.'s strategic posture as wellas immediate problems theU.S. faces today through hisexperience in Afghanistan.

"We are here because weunderstand the extraordinaryrole that the NavalWar Collegeplays not just in the life of ourmilitary forces, but throughouttheworldandhowcriticalyourrole will be in the future," saidReed. "Itiswithparticularpridethat I salute the students thatare here this evening.I am de-lightedtofindoutthatthisuni-versityhereinWashingtonpro-vides resources and a form ofeducation to so many who arecommitted to public servicehere in our nation's capitol."

TheCollegeofDistanceEd-ucationsbeganits"offcampus'seminars in 1974 at the Wash-ington Navy Yard. Today theprogram is known as the FleetSeminar Program and has en-rolledmorethan1200studentsat twenty satellite campusesacross the country.

Other academic opportu-nities provided by the NavalWar College include: TheNonresident Seminar Gradu-

ate Degree Program whichenables students to earn aMasters Degree in NationalSecurity and Strategic Stud-ies; a partnership programwith the Naval PostgraduateSchool where 400 studentsare pursuing Naval War Col-lege courses; and Web en-abled and CDROM-basedprograms for students unableto attend a Fleet SeminarProgram.

"It's the future of educa-

tion and we are keeping thequality while adjusting withthe reality of people's busylives and the difficulty ofmoving individuals and fam-ily. It's really making a big dif-ference," said Rear Adm. JohnN. Christenson, president ofthe U.S. Naval War College.

One of the NavalWar Col-lege's key missions is to de-velop strategic and opera-tional leaders. By providing ahost of professional militaryeducational programs to

qualified U.S. officers, Navyenlisted personnel, civilianemployees of the U.S. Gov-ernment and nongovern-mental organizations, and in-ternational officers the De-partment of Defense gains agroup of leaders who arestrategically minded, criticalthinkers, proficient in jointmatters, and skilled navaland joint warfighters.

"[Students] take away asense of jointness that we allhave to work together. Asgood as we are in the Navy wecan't do it alone," saidCharles Chadbourn profes-sor of strategy for the NavalWar College. "I also think theycome away with the idea ofthe importance of continuingto study and learn through-out their careers and maybemost significantly they learnto take off the blinders."

Chadbourn describedthose blinders as any aspectof the Navy, ranging fromstrategy to concepts as sim-ple as how human beingstreat one another. He also re-cited a quote heard from aformer Secretary of the Navyduring a Current Strategy Fo-rum in Newport, RI.

"He said your job as stu-dents is to figure out whatthose blinders are and takethem off, and it is your job asfaculty to help the students

figure out what those blind-ers are and get them off," saidChadbourn. "Otherwise wearen't as efficient as a fightingforce nor do we serve the bestinterest of the nation unlesswe get those off."

Albert Daniels, a studentwho recently completed hislast year of the three year pro-gram, began his studies at theNaval War College as a re-serve naval officer and is nowcompleting the program as aDepartment of the Navy civil-ian employee with the NavyCriminal Investigative Serv-ice. He said that the highstandards of both faculty andthe students created a learn-ing environment that is dif-ferent from other academicinstitutions.

"Most people are very in-terested in the topic and itcreates a level of dedicationand a depth of discussionthat you may not find else-where," said Daniels. "Somany countries think that ifthey build up these largearmies or navies that some-how that is about power.Power is nothing without aneducated mind wielding it."

Rhode Island's 46th United States Senator, theHonorable John Francis Reed, delivers the Philip A.Crowl Lecture Series during the 25th annual NavalWar College Dinner held at the Washington NavyYard's Catering and Conference Center, May 8. Thelecture is delivered each year in memory of Profes-sor Crowl by a prominent scholar or national figure.

something real felt very special to us.""It was one of the most amazing things

watching that crew in action, throwingdown, with what they do every day," said JonHoeber. "They granted us total access, andit was unbelievable. They were excited tohave us there and we were dieing to be there.To be able to tell their stories and watch theUnited States of America 'Blue Water Navy'and all they do-stunning! People in thiscountry do not know enough about that."

"Battleship" was made with the supportof the Department of Defense and the Navy.According to Rear Adm. Denny Moynihan,U.S. Navy's Chief of Information, the Navyhad to evaluate the idea of the movie andask some critical questions before decidingto support the film.

"First, does the script accurately portraythe Navy," said Moynihan. "Second, does itpositively represent our service and ourSailors? Third, can we support the film with-out impacting our operations? And finally,do we believe that it could have a positiveimpact on recruiting? In the case of 'Battle-ship,' we felt the answer was 'Yes' to each ofthose questions."

Because filming took place during al-ready scheduled training events, it did notimpair operations and there was no cost tothe Navy or American taxpayers.

"The end result is a film that providesmovie-goers with a realistic look of theNavy and Sailors operating at sea - scenesthat I think reflect well on the Navy," saidMoynihan.

"The reason we do things like this, is be-cause we would love to take everybody outto sea on an aircraft carrier, destroyer, orsubmarine to see what we do, but we can't."said Moynihan. "But we know that peoplego to movies, so this is one way we help theAmerican people get get a better under-standing of what their Navy does 24 hours aday 7 days a week."

Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation(MWR), in coordination with UniversalStudios, will be offering special screeningsof Battleship to Sailors and their familiesprior to the nationwide release of themovie May 18.

The film's director, Peter Berg, will bepresent to kick off the free screenings atNaval Base Coronado and Naval Base SanDiego Naval Air Station (NAS) North IslandMay 11. Special screenings will also takeplace this weekend at Camp Lejeune, NavalAir StationWhidbey Island, Naval SubmarineBase New London and Joint Base LittleCreek-Fort Story May 12.
