the japanese navy's traditional mission is to fight a battle against the american navy. i think you have to keep this historical fact there the traditional aspect in mind when you think about the army and navy of japan because these factors really determine the four structures, equipment, training and the focus on their planning, really everything and also as a result of the tension, all militaries are bureaucratic institutions. in japan's case you had many examples where the institutional interest drove the staff against each other and what they are emphasizing at any particular moment. you do have to keep those historical factors in mind and they were fighting a ground war on the plains of manchuria. in the case of the navy it is the pacific ocean and it is the american navy and the decisive sleep that way. now, with these in mind, if you look at the war, you have to think was the navy's strategy? the traditional strategy was to fight a clean battle against the americans. in order to do that, the navy builds up their fleet and if i could have the first map, i guess i'm

this is the state secretary of navy for the imperial german navy. this is the father that takes to the seas and fights with the british grand fleet. this is a guy who says i build ships. i do not care about politics. germany is looking for what it calls its place in the soviet empire after it unifies in the 1870s and starts thinking about catching up with great britain as a global empire. germany quite clearly has those political aspirations. for example, even here in the western hemisphere they think of the various places in south america as its india. the jewel in the crown of a potential german empire. that will rival the british empire. there's very much an aspect of catching up with established empires. but this guy he designs a navy that is heavily battleship centric and has very short range combatants that can be only operate in the north sea. better contain hears these geopolitical aspirations but at the same time it sees what germany is building and germany is building a navy that is clearly designed to go after the british isles to take ou

the french navy was not gonna defeat the royal navy. they make a lot of trouble for british commerce. learned a hard lesson and it forgot by the first world war and was determined to forget the lessons about convoy and as you pointed out had to relearn at great cost in british merchant traffic. the story is right. in fact, this is where i would bring it up to the president. it was about two weeks ago, the united states merchant or excuse me, maritime command came out and reported being told by the senior navy leadership that we are not going to do convoys and get into a scrap with russia. we are basically saying our fleet is to lean in numbers.. now, for our last question . >> if you would humor me, dr. holmes, could you bring up a picture of nelson? >> you never have trouble getting a naval list to do that.

the navy is in a very similar place. we were able to make mission this year in a much more demanding market. our goals were at 40,000 plus. typical year for us is about 33,000. we made goal by may. so our recruiters are doing a great job. we have shifted our approach in how we do recruiting to go where the market is which is more on the social media lane than the more traditional advertising campaigns we have done in the past. recruiting force is doing a fabulous job. we are starting to see some stresses similar to what was said in terms of when we are meeting the goals. the stressors are clear. anytime you have an unemployment rate below 4.1% historically trouble looms on the horizon for recruiting and retention. it is 3.8% now. we are expecting this market to get more difficult than easier. that said, we had the best retention year in zone a, b and c this past year than we have had in a decade. there are good things going on. it's hard to put our fingers on exactly what is generating those kinds of results in an econom

endopacific command say that we need a bigger navy. and he said that the chinese fleet continues to grow. and i quote, the capacity concern is going to become grayer in years to come. so given that the 355-ship navy was the result of a study in 2014, are we still comfortable that that number of ships is adequate to address the growing threat from china and russia for that matter, the great power competition that we are now facing? >> yes, ma'am. i will take that one. so the 2016 fsa was a composite of the old plans, the threat, the threat vectors, and then what are the phases of warfare we have to deal with across those threat vectors. no matter what study you looked at, they all said we need to be bigger. and we endeavored on a path to get bigger. 355 i think is a minimum. year -- we have started the process on the next structure assessment. it is typically about a year-long process, when we get the new combatant commanders in place, adjustment to o plans and how that affects the navy component commands. then we put together a structu

the british navy, the most powerful navy in the world had so far had a stranglehold on the american coast. and that meant that any victory washington might have on land would be quickly negated by the fact that there were these fleets of powerful warships and i think it's hard for us to understand what a ship of the line is known as. a typical ship of the line was a 74, which meant it had 74 cans, took 2000 oak trees to construct a 74. 57 acres of forest. 500 Ã750 men. they didn't use any fossil fuels, they used feed to transport themselves and of just one of these showed up they had more artillery fire power then just about all of washington's army. so these were very powerful sophisticated technological entities. and if washington could use the french navy to negate the stranglehold that the british had on the coast and create naval superiority just for a moment, that would create the window by which he might deliver the blow at by land that would win this war. as early as 1778 is desperately trying to get the french navy to cooperate. admiral disdain arrives at summer. unfortunately i

i'm navy. what do you think it's like for those of us in the military and the families to participate not just in a football game but in america's game? >> good and healthy friendly rivalry between the two but at the end of the day, it's one team, one fight. and that's all that matters. >> what do you think it's like to have the commander-in-chief here today? have you been to a game when the president of the united states has been here? >> i have not. it's great to have the commander-in-chief with us, leading us. our job is to inspire americans to support, to trust, to join the armed forces. and we can have leadership here. that's great. >> speaking of commanders in chief. actually at this game today we will be honoring president george h.w. bush who, of course, just passed away. but you all, the golden knights, have a special connection with him because he actually jumped with you, i believe at least once, maybe twice. >> he jumped with us three different times on three different occasions whe

i spent a little time in the navy and so did my father. father enlisted in the navy before world war ii broke out. george herbert walker bush i think was 18. on his 18th birthday he was just out of high school and enlisted in the navy as a seaman second class. about a year later he was off to corpus christi naval air station where he earned my wings as a flight officer a long time ago. and i think he became a ensign at the

he's like 21, an old guy in the navy and a year or so later discharged in september of 45 from the navy, 58 dom bat missions during year-old war 2 in which he was awarded. the distinguished flying cross. you don't get much better than three flying medals. the president union station was awarded to the ship where she was a member of a number of years. that's one heck of a record for a guy who signed up as a seaman second class at the able of 18 and three years later he finishes up after flying all those issues and 21. i was thinking what i was doing at 21. i wasn't doing this and looking forward to going into the navy in active duty on which mcobtain, can off or officers presiding was the wing man and the senator from arizona many numbers of years. i never met george bush when he was active duty or the navy. i wasn't born. my dad served with him with the same kind of duty and they spent a lot of times in airplanes. dad was deleef split steady officer. starting at the age of 18 the navy took over and provided him with exceptional leadership thraining. i'd like to thank some others of us i

he was an old guy in the navy. a year or so later, discharged in september of 1945 from the navy. 58 combat missions during world war ii for which he was awarded the distinguished flying cross. you don't get much better than the distinguished flying cross. three air medals. i had one. this guy had three. and the president received a citation awarded to his ship which he was a member for a number of years. that is one heck of a record for a guy who signed up as a seaman second class at the age of 18. three years later, he finishes up after flying all those missions, and he's 21, 21. i'm still thinking what i was doing when i was 21. i wasn't doing this. i was looking forward to going into the navy on active duty and ended up in southeast asia where john mccain, one of our colleagues who the presiding officer was a wingman in the senate from arizona for a number of years. but i never met george bush when he was on active duty in the navy. i was not yet born. my dad served with him at about the same time. they both sp

either the air force or the navy. the army air corps the navy guy below tailgunner guy in the turret 30 caliber popgun back there. the beautiful thing about the airplane their landing talks more than big cds. so that airplane down not worry much about spinning inlet like you would from a corsair. something like that nature. remember landing in the water my plane having been disabled engine trouble. take me on board i had to land in the water. two men on the plane for the 500 pound depth charges. a little bit of see, not much. but i never got wet. climbed out on the wing from inclined after the tour. they didn't get wet. plane stay there floating for a while. gradually sank to the depths of the pacific. that stability, dependability. >> if you have no objections. >> hopefully you did it better than i did. divan on the wing. supposed to put the right-hand turn emphasis on the door in the back. put it in that thread so i could get up. i pulled the ripcord too early. my head struck the tail of the plane so much so i thoug

so they don't involve the navy. the reason why we did this was to have a fresh start for lack of a better term to test from the beginning starting from july 27. this is what we committed to testing. and we were going to do the testing through the department of public health to make sure our people are safe and they feel safe. all the test results that i spoke about today which are hard copies in the bind rer posted on the commission's website. they are available for everybody to see. the actual testing parameters, i can't -- not the person to really speak to that. i would have to turn to my colleagues at the department of public health to speak a little bit more about kind of how the testing parameters came about. but as i had mentioned, especially with the soil, that those levels were below levels at current standards set by the e.p.a. and set by the california department of public health. and set forth by the navy under current standards. could i ask you to come up, mark, and kevin, and maybe speak a little bit mo

we are seeing the navy -- why is the navy leading the way? how is that working out because that's a good thing. >> because the navy is a technically oriented service with submarines and service warfare and the aircraft, not as many -- the marine corps you have infantry and the army, you tend to have higher percentage of women in the technical skill sets in the navy. i would have to check my facts but i think the marine corps is the army9% and i think hovers around that as well. the navy tends to have a higher percentage. >> i'm curious to know about your background with this issue as well with combat. one ofll start by saying my classmates at west point was one of the first female graduates of the ranger school. i went to ranger school and pass the first time. grace was the first female graduate but she was also in micah debt summer leadership company so we were company mates. -- she isanger school a quiet professional and her actions in terms of help that she was -- she wasn't arrogant about the fact that she could do more push-ups than her

so i'm going now to the army-navy game. i think we are going to flip a coin and i know both teams are going to do great. general mark milly as you know was just appointed the head of the joint chiefs of staff to be determined date, little bit later in the year, they usually give quite a bit of notice for a lot of listens, mark, great gentleman, great patriot, great soldier and i look forward to that. on the mueller situation, we are very happy with what we are reading because there was no collusion whatsoever. there never has been, the last thing i want is help from russia on a campaign. you should ask hillary clinton about russia because reports that we see according to everybody i have spoken to, i have not read it, there's absolutely no collusion which is very important. [inaudible] >> no, no. say it john kelly will be leaving, i don't know if i can say retiring. he's a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year, we will be announcing who will be taking john's place. it might be on interim basis. i woul

it's always a treat to be with the navy league. we are truly appreciative of all the united states navy league does across the country for the men and women of the coast guard. we enjoy terrific relation and i would say generally given the proportional size of the coast guard and the other sea services, we are probably disproportionately supported by the navy league. we're okay with that. keep it coming. it's a privilege to be here today. alan, adam said he wanted three hours of prepared comments. i will take one question at the end. ready to go? here we go. you know, it's 15 years ago today that president bush number 43 announced the capture of saddam hussein. just to put a little historical timeline here. it's interesting when we look at where we are today in the 21st century about the complex and dynamic operating environment we find ourselves. we got the new national security strategy focused on competing rising great powers, not so sure those of us in uniform thought we would be at this point again in 2018 but that's why we fi

navy at the age of 18 as a combat pilot, the youngest navy combat pilot shot down. after the war, he went to yale, rushed through yale, started a family, but rather than join his father at brown brothers harriman in new york, their prestigious financial firm, instead, he struck out for the oil flats, living first in bakersfield, california, and then odessa, and then midland, texas, learning the oil business from the ground up, selling tools, you know, learning the oil patch from the bottom up because he wanted to start his own enterprise. he started an oil company, independent oil company, named after a character he saw in a movie. he named it and made it, you think about that he left the comfort of the east in order to strike out, and we early '50s, he wanted to build something of his own. when he ran for office in texas, literally, they hunted republicans with dogs when he ran for the u.s. senate. he was elected to congress, i think he was 1 of 2 republican members of the congress from texas, and even then he was demonstrated in norma's courage. in 1966 i think it

i just wrote as proud dad of a marine aviator to a former navy pilot. i asked him to sign a picture of the flight deck that i could give to my son. we were told by the staff the president had long since ended practice of signing autographs and we understood that. but little to my surprise, just in time for my son's winging there came not only a signed photograph but, of course a letter letter, hand signed as well. august 2018. in it letter president bush wrote to my son in his words congratulations on receiver your wings of gold. i know how proud you and your family at this moment. then in words that assured us that the letter came directly to him he wrote quote though we have not met i share the pride your father has for you during this momentous occasion and i wish you many c-a-v-u days ahead all the best, g bush. i would come to learn that that being a rowacronym acronym, cavu is a term navy pilots have used since world war ii. it stands for feeling in invisibility unlimited. president bush described it in his words as the kind of weather we navy pil

he enlisted in the united states navy on his 18th birthday. he became the nation's youngest naval aviator and was sent to the south pacific, where his story almost ended. september 1944, on a bombing raid, his aircraft was hit, his engine caught fire, but he managed to hit his target before bailing out and being rescued by american forces after four hours at sea. he flew 58 combat missions, and earned the distinguished flying cross, which would have been enough honor for any american life. george herbert walker bush was just getting started. after he came home, he staked his claim to a booming postwar america by making a name for himself in the oil business. for four years, he walked to these halls as a congressman. president nixon asked him to be our ambassador to the united nations. he led the party during a tumult time for the presidency. he did the work as a diplomat as the first united states envoy to china and lead the cia. for eight years, he served as the 43rd vice president of the united states. i was told that, as he was preparing, h

he was an old guy in the navy. a year or so later, discharged in september of 1945 from the navy. 58 combat missions during world war ii for which he was awarded the distinguished flying cross. you don't get much better than the distinguished flying cross. three air medals. i had one. this guy had three. and the president received a citation awarded to his ship which he was a member for a number of years. that is one heck of a record for a guy who signed up as a seaman second class at the age of 18. three years later, he finishes up after flying all those missions, and he's 21, 21. i'm still thinking what i was doing when i was 21. i wasn't doing this. i was looking forward to going into the navy on active duty and ended up in southeast asia where john mccain, one of our colleagues who the presiding officer was a wingman in the senate from arizona for a number of years. but i never met george bush when he was on active duty in the navy. i was not yet born. my dad served with him at about the same time. they both sp

sovereign presence interest your what the united states navy sting. if you look at relationships, look at what china is doing to put liaisons in different parts, this will be an important mission. we partner really well. the coast guard cutter has lemoore accessibility than necessary are great whole navy counterparts. what admiral davis does with the platform will be his. once we turned a platform over to the tactical control but we've had very robust conversation but what of those unique capabilities the coast guard cutter brings to the part of the theater. we're all about a free and open indo pacom open sea lines of communication. it's a little sporty. we see the chinese postcard to use be under civilian authority is now under the pla, under the place rather, federal police and we see this chinese militia which is a very interesting nonmilitary group bechtler seems to have ties back to the central chinese military authority, military commission doing some pretty aggressive thinks. we hope the coast guard will set the bar on appropriate international

navy. how did the u.s. navy, how did navy midshipmen and officers view this president? >> i remember when he was president, i was a young officer at the time. and i remember his re-election campaign. i remember the desert storm timeframe. he was very highly respected in the navy. he was highly respected in the military, having been obviously a military officer during world war ii. in the navy, there was something special about president bush having fought off aircraft carriers in world war ii, having lost ship mates in combat and having to deal with that. he knew what we were all about and how important our mission was, and he knew firsthand. that gave him a special bond with the united states navy that perhaps we haven't had with every commander in chief. and i don't mean this in a political way, not at all. the navy is not a political organization, but obviously, he has a special place, i think, in every sailor's heart. i think, jim, you may have seen the pictures today of the socks they're going to bury him in are socks that depict naval aviation wings and navy aircr
