Abstract
Military personnel are always ready, through their rigorous training, to defend our nation's honor on the battlefield. Like law enforcement officers, they never know when they will be needed for such action. This naturally creates stress for military people and their families, which is one reason the Navy has a special division called Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). We will now look at it and see the benefits it provides for Navy personnel and their families.

Abstract
The paper states that the British Navy was unrivaled by anyone else in the entire world from the 1500s until the end of World War II. The writer explains that the British Navy helped guide England to global dominance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The paper details the history of and victories by the British Navy. In conclusion, the writer states that the basis of Britain's power stemmed from its superior navy and that its fleets won as a result of superior organization, leadership and strategy.
From the Paper
"The first test of the English fleet came in 1588 when the Spanish Empire, which at the time was Europe's greatest superpower, threatened England with the invasion of their Spanish Armada. They set sail to enforce the Spanish dominance of the English Channel. They not only sent the Spanish armada but also transported troops from the Spanish Netherlands to England to engage in warfare. However, the greatest victory in naval history, when the English with its vastly inferior numbers and technology defeated the Spanish Armada due to many different errors and ill fortunes for the Spanish. The armada first suffered bad weather and did not reach the English Channel on time. It also transpired that the supposed surprise of their fleet's approach did not work because of a clever set of beacons that were used throughout the English coastline so that the English had plenty of time to devise strategies for the Spanish's defeat. The combination of these elements were important in the victory. The English were able to set several of the Armada's ships alight at Calais, and through the damage there scattered the fleet and used it as a distraction to combat the fleet individually with their quicker and more organized fleet. The strategic victory at the channel was Great Britain's first major victory over any significant naval force. It allowed the English full access to the port and the channel and showed that it was now a major player in the naval forces of the world. It continued to assert its dominance over the Spanish in a series of victories during the era of Elizabeth I. The navy raided Spanish ports and ships traveling across the Atlantic Ocean but it also suffered numerous defeats to the reformed Spanish navy."

Abstract
This paper explains that, even though there were no major naval wars during the Victorian era, the Navy was still involved in many social issues, such as navigational surveys and patrolling against the Atlantic slave trade. The author points out that the Navy?s success was mainly due to the leadership of its admirals, lords, and officers who came from wealthy classes. The paper states that the British Navy was viewed as the pinnacle of society; nonetheless, there still was a myriad of problems in regards to the way the typical sailors were strictly disciplined and horribly treated.
From the Paper
"Treatment of the soldiers was brutal as well. A common practice of discipline given to many seamen prior to 1871, when it was abolished, was harsh beatings with a whip or rod, also known as flogging. Most seamen were flogged due to crimes that they committed on board the ship. Crimes that required disciplinary action were drunkenness, sleeping on their watch, fighting, and neglect. Oliver Warner states, ?John Welsh, was four times punished within this brief space of time: 10 January with 12 lashes; 5 March with 36 lashes; 5 April with 48 lashes; and 24 May with 48 lashes? (103). Even though John Welsh was found guilty of theft and drunkenness, by today?s standards the punishment seems way too severe for the crime and shows that the British Navy was not a place for illicit acts."

Abstract
This paper explores the use of animals in the U.S. armed forces. Making reference to the dolphins used in the Navy and the chimps used by the army, the paper shows how using these animals has helped advance the efforts of the two bodies. The chimps were specifically used in space and air travel to explore the effects of short-term and long-term flights on the body, while dolphins in the Navy were useful in search and rescue, as well as for their sonar abilities.
From the Paper
"Man?s countless endeavors in the improvement of human civilization has encouraged him to further his research and studies about fields of study that are yet to be confronted by society. The United States government, in its attempt to increase its power and knowledge in different realms of life, has developed various programs geared towards the promotion of easier space flight and travel and improved ?weaponry? for its war efforts as an example. These programs have been specifically formulated and implemented by the US government in its efforts to achieve enough knowledge about space travel and flight and an increased advantage over its enemies during times of war."

The British Navy in World War I, 2007.

Abstract
The paper explains that Great Britain did not use the Royal Navy to its full abilities during World War I, mainly out of fear that a defeat of a costly victory at sea would lose them the war by lowering morale of the British populace. The paper discusses the unsuccessful sea battle at Jutland that caused low soldier and citizen morale. The paper shows how Great Britain would have lost all chances of winning the war if another battle signaled defeat at sea. The paper explains that this was why Great Britain minimized their presence in the water and only remained the strongest navy in the world through inaction and a refocusing of military efforts elsewhere.
From the Paper
"As World War I began, Great Britain was considered the supreme power in terms of naval force. Yet, the German Navy had been upgrading enough to make it of significant British concern during the war. In particular, the use of German U-boats as a threat to both military and merchant vessels complicated Great Britain's naval choices. Though many history texts take it for granted that Britain was the stronger of the two navies, the only major naval battle (at Jutland) between the two forces resulted in heavy British losses. While the Royal Navy had both experience and opportunity to strike more forcefully at Germany by sea, they instead spent most of the war only blockading."

Abstract
The paper describes the overall reflection of the power of the British Empire in its naval forces. There are various descriptions of the many ways the Royal Navy actually contributed to the rise, reign and eventual fall of the British Empire.
From the Paper
"The extraordinary power, strength, and size that made the British Empire one of the greatest the world had ever seen, was mainly due to the success of its maritime forces. From the start, Britain had three major choices in its foreign policy: immersing herself in domestic issues and the power struggle in the continental Europe, remaining away from it by isolating itself (like Japan), or turning to the rest of the world for newer opportunities. The first would leave Britain in the midst of a huge turmoil over land and religion, while the second would strip them of their keen interest in trading as a primary means of accumulating wealth. Logically, this left the third, and the navy was used to explore this option (1). To stay ahead of rivals for the sake of the Empire, the navy was at the forefront of innovations in warfare and maritime technology, which was further encouraged and financed by the Empire. These innovations helped the navy occupy a key position in the success of the British Empire that used the Royal Navy to maintain and strengthen its imperial power. The navy was instrumental not only in policing and opening trade routes, but also in protecting the Empire. All in all, the Royal Navy?s innovations in ship building technology, combined with the government?s willingness to use the navy for defense and expansion, were the major contributors to the rise and success of the British Empire, economically and territorially."

"Derivation and Use of Seals in China
This research reviews the derivation and use of seals in China. Included in this review are the historical development and use of seals, materials used in making seals, seal design, the function of seals, and techniques required in the application of seals.
The Historical Development of Seals
Until the decade of the 1920s, "it was archaeological heresy to suggest that China had borrowed anything from the west …" (Sutherland, 1965, p. 60). In 1923, however, a stamp seal was found in an archaeological dig in Elam in the mountains of northeast Sumer (Eisen, 1940). This seal dated to the fourth-millennium-BC. Prior to this find, stamp seals of this type had never been found outside of China. From 1928 through 1937..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay is written from the point of view of a senior Navy Admiral concerned about how to implement a new policy that calls for further gender integration during ship's sea deployments. The paper discusses his problem's solution, which lies in leveraging the informal organizational culture of the Navy to get the policy implemented.
From the Paper
"Paper Title Furthering Gender Integration At Sea: An Exercise in Changing Organizational Behavior Body of paper... As Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, my single most important consideration is maintaining the highest level of combat readiness and effectiveness among the ships and stations under my operational jurisdiction. As a Naval Officer, what's more, I am accustomed to following the orders I'm given from superiors without fail and without exception. Organizationally, the Armed Forces are unlike any other institution in this respect. The command structure is unwaveringly hierarchical for a reason. In combat, individual lives depend upon unit cohesion and unit cohesion is maintained only when there is a readily identifiable chain-of-command."
