Description

Lionel D. Wyld (au). Explore the history of one of the Nation’s most prestigious service schools, the U.S. Navy’s pioneer training station & principal grad. college at Newport, RI. In 1883, Comm. Stephen Luce established the Naval Training Station on Coaster’s Harbor Island in Newport, which became the forerunner of the modern recruit stations for enlisted men in the U.S. Navy. The next year, Luce established the Naval War College, the first professional naval educ. center of its kind in the world. It soon became the U.S. Navy’s premier institution for professional studies of warfare, international law, & statesmanship relating to war & peace. Here, over 200 images, combined with informative captions & text, chronicle the history of this institution.
