- Prize Essay—A United States Navy for the Future
Capt. Robert H. Smith. USN
The challenge of Soviet seapower marks the end of decades of luxury upon the seas for the U. S. Navy and presents imperatives for radical change. - Junior Officer Retention, A Lot of Little Things
Lt. Malcolm S. Harris, USNR
Both the young "brown bagger" and the equally young bachelor are leaving the naval service in alarming numbers—but not necessarily for the same reasons. - The Royal Hellenic Navy
Commo. G. Drossinos, RHN (Ret.)
Rich in tradition, but poor in modern men-of-war, Greece's Navy strives to carry out its multiple missions, one of which is assisting in the defense of NATO's southern flank. - The Merchant Marine Act of 1970
Lt. (j.g.) S. W. Emery, Jr., USN
What began as a scries of provisions designed to modernize the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, has mushroomed into a law with a name and a future of its own. - Gun Systems? For Air Defense?
Lt. Cdr. William D. O'Neil, III, USNR (R)
Those who consider guns effective only against targets in the low subsonic speed range obviously are unaware of the great strides made in gun system technology since 1945. - Herndon, Maury, and the Amazon Basin
Lt. Cdr. James P. Reddick. Jr., USN
Until the cousins undertook the exploration, no one had succeeded in awakening the somnolent giant that is the Amazon Basin. They failed, but so has everyone since. - Pictorial—U. S. Navy Medical Corps
