Articles

  • Command and Control: Changeless—Yet Changing
    Rear Adm. Donald T Poe, USN
    We think we can cope with Vietnam II or even with Nuclear
    War I; but what could be our undoing is a conflict that is bigger than the former and smaller than the latter.
  • V/STOL: Stalled?
    R. M. Braybrook
    Five years after Harrier, there is no indication that those responsible for the Free World's combat aircraft development are doing much thinking about v/STOL.
  • P.W.
    Lt. Cdr. George T. Coker, USN
    Sooner or later, to every P.W. taken in Vietnam, as to every other P.W. throughout history, two questions occurred: What is worth enduring torture for? What is worth dying for?
  • The Military and Politics
    Maj. H. J. Sage, USMC
    In the past, when the President has said "Go!", the military man has gone, unquestioning. He may go again, or he may stop to inquire about his civil liberties or to discuss electoral politics.
  • Navies in War and in Peace
    Admiral of the Fleet S. G. Gorshkov, SN
    Admiral Gorshkov deplores visits by U. S. warships to foreign ports as attempts to coerce and intimidate; but he sees similar visits by Soviet warships as friendly and magnanimous.
  • The Sultan's Submarines
    V. Irnsing Collins
    In 1885, the Greek government purchased a Nordenfelt-built submarine and, with war between Greece and Turkey more imminent than usual, Turkey bought two from Nordenfelt.
  • "Blackbeard!"
    I. Ross
    Teach was his name and "Teaching" was on its way to becoming a very painful process until a Royal Navy lieutenant intervened to teach Teach his last lesson.

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
