We encourage everyone to check out Upcoming Events of Immediate Interest. This week, for our lead story we are going to highlight the talk scheduled for tomorrow evening by Dr. James C. Rentfrow, director of the Navy Museums Division, Naval History and Heritage Command, that will cover happenings in the Navy museum world, including the proposed National Museum of the United States Navy. It’s easy to join in. Just click on the link below the program overview tomorrow at 8 PM (EST).
We are also pleased to announce the parameters for the CNO’s annual naval history essay contest have been released. Details below. One final reminder: Saturday is the drop-dead date for paper/panel proposals for the NASOH/McMullen/Navy 250 academic conferences. See CFPs below.
For this week’s Naval History Book Review, we feature Capt. Bookie Boland’s review of Reuben Keith Green’s Black Officer, White Navy: A Memoir. In a time when Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs are being banished throughout the government, Green’s memoir is a reminder on why such programs were initiated. Additional books have been received and are waiting in the bin!
Tuesday Tidings has just learned that Professor Jon T. Sumida, a distinguished naval historian at the University of Maryland from 1980 to 2017, passed away last Saturday evening due to complications from Parkinson’s disease.
Professor Sumida was the author of three monographs: In Defence of Naval Supremacy: Finance, Technology, and British Naval Policy, 1889–1914 (1989/pb 1993), Inventing Grand Strategy and Teaching Command: The Classic Works of Alfred Thayer Mahan Reconsidered (1997/pb 1998), and Decoding Clausewitz: A New Approach to On War (2008/pb 2011). He also edited The Pollen Papers: The Privately Circulated Printed Works of Arthur Hungerford Pollen 1901–1916 (1983) and published 25 major articles, four of which won prizes—including three Moncado Prizes from the Society for Military History and the Naval History Author of the Year from the US Naval Institute.
He held fellowships from the Woodrow Wilson Center, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and Churchill College, Cambridge University. He was Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Military Strategy and Operations at the National War College (2000), program chair of the Society for Military History Annual Meeting (2004), chair of the Department of the Army Historical Advisory Committee (2003–2006), the Major General Matthew C. Horner Chair of Military Theory at the US Marine Corps University (2004–2006), and a visiting lecturer at the US Marine Corps School of Advanced Warfighting (2003–2017).
His contributions to military history were recognized with numerous awards, including the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal from the US Army (2007), the Commodore Dudley Knox Award for lifetime achievement from the Naval Historical Foundation (2017), and the Samuel Eliot Morison Prize from the Society for Military History (2020).
Arrangements for his memorial service are currently being made. To quote Dr. David Alan Rosenberg: “It is a huge personal loss and huge professional loss to naval history.”

Retired former Air Force officer Steven Myatt continues to work on creating a miniature version of Brandywine and Tuesday Tidings offers a progress update. He recently fabricated 8 carronades that have been installed on the forecastle. There will be 24 of these in place upon completion. He notes the gun tackle uses silk home-spun rope for the breechings and regular linen line for the running gear. As shown, the spar deck main hatch gratings are removable to enable observers decades from now to view the gun deck by just lifting up the gratings. (Photograph courtesy Steven Myatt)

Anderson Prize 2024 Award
Fourteen books were considered by the committee for the Anderson Prize this year. They represented a broad range of high-quality publications. Most of the discussion revolved around four outstanding contributions to maritime history. The committee finally agreed to recommend that the prize for 2024 should be awarded to:
James Davey, Tempest: The Royal Navy in the Age of Revolutions (Yale University Press, New Haven, 2023)
The Royal Navy in the French Revolutionary War is not a new subject. It has inspired historians from many traditions. From the patriotic and nationalistic, the conservative and the radical, the history of the Royal Navy provides support for multiple views about naval power, hierarchy and social order in that turbulent time. What Davey has done to put the naval history firmly into the social and political context of the time. He has done so by sensitively navigating his narrative through the passionately argued disputes of many decades, acknowledging his own perspective, while tackling complex problems and bringing new research to the subject. It can be confidently read by students, specialists and by the interested public, The presentation of the book is up to the high standard for which Yale University Press are known.
The Anderson Lecture will be held on 1st May 2025.
As in previous years, the committee felt there were other books which deserve to be highly commended.
Bill Lindsay, William Schaw Lindsay – Victorian Entrepreneur. (Amberley Press, Stroud, 2023) This book fills an important gap in the history of merchant marine history. Based on the journals of William Schaw Lindsay in the National Maritime Museum, it follows Lindsay’s life and career to become one of the great shipping magnates of his time and author of the famous History of Merchant Shipping and Ancient Commerce (1874–1876). Lindsay was an active participant in the political and commercial issues of his time, which the author weaves into the narrative, producing a lively case study of a neglected Victorian entrepreneur.
David Kenyon, Arctic Convoys: Bletchley Park and the War for the Seas (Yale University Press, New Haven, 2023) Kenyon provides a history of the Arctic convoys with a focus on the role of signals intelligence (SIGINT). His well-researched chronological history, weaving incidents and actions within the pattern of the intelligence battle, is written in a manner that is accessible to both the general reader and the specialist. It facilitates a clear picture of the evolving role of SIGINT within the campaign and its significance to the passage of the convoys through the restricted Arctic waters. Kenyon’s work balances the well-known heavy losses of PQ17 and PQ18 with the overall success of the convoy campaign.
Lambert Honored with Hattendorf Prize
On December 19, 2024, Professor Andrew Lambert was awarded the US Naval War College's Hattendorf Prize for Distinguished Original Research in Maritime History. Professor John Hattendorf, an oversea corresponding member of the SNR, was in person to hand the award to Professor Lambert. Professor Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History in the Department of War Studies at King's College, London, received his prize at the US Naval War College onboard Naval Station Newport. The US Naval War College stated: “We were incredibly proud to join with the Naval War College Foundation to present this much deserved award to someone whose work in the field of naval history has addressed so many important issues still relevant today. His historical analysis of technology, policy-making, regional security, deterrence, historiography, crisis-management and conflict, has allowed scholars and practitioners alike to apply the lessons of the past to the challenges of the future.”

NAVAL HISTORY BOOK REVIEWS | |

Black Officer White Navy: A Memoir By Reuben Keith Green, University Press of Kentucky: Lexington, (2024)
Reviewed by Capt. Bookie Boland, USN (Ret.)
| |
|
Lt. Cdr. Reuben Keith Green, USN (Ret.) has written a powerful memoir of his journey as a Black sailor in the US Navy during the last three decades of the twentieth century. Although originally self-published by the author, this new edition, with a foreword by retired Navy Capt. John P. Cordle, was published by the University Press of Kentucky. Green delivers an unflinching first-hand perspective on the destructive power and prevalence of discrimination in the post-Vietnam Navy of the 1980s and 1990s.
The chronology of Green’s service begins with him ignoring the adamant advice of his father, a veteran sailor who had experienced crushing bigotry, to not join the Navy, and concludes twenty-three years later with him retiring in disgust after battling an arrogant and abusing commanding officer. Although encouraged by the policies of leaders like Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, and later by Adm. Jeremy Boorda, that his Navy would be different from his father’s Navy, the author quickly experienced the deep hurt that comes from being actively undermined by both superiors and shipmates. There are certainly mentors and colleagues who were supportive of Green’s career and who recognized his abilities and accomplishments. The ugly specter of racial bias, however, seems near constant in this narrative. From boot camp, Officer Candidate School, and in the fleet, a sad assemblage of disrespect, contempt, and threats of violence were in Green’s path. This necessitated a life lived on edge, always measuring those around him based on his own life experiences.
In Black Officer White Navy, Green takes the reader onto the deck plates of a frigate, into the back offices of administrative staffs, and on the bridge of a hydrofoil patrolling the Caribbean. The author projects a swagger of self-confidence that is balanced by his willingness to reveal personal struggles and failures, while his writing style is a blend of candor, humor, and weariness as he deals with bias, subtle discrimination, and indifference across the ranks of the Navy. Green’s story includes searing vignettes of overt bigotry, deliberate manipulation of procedures and regulations to impede his career, and persistent questioning of his competency as an officer, department head, and executive officer, all of which inflicted both a physical and emotional toll that was cumulative. For those who care deeply about our Navy, this is a difficult book that will prompt sadness, anger, and for this reviewer, discomfort.
The author’s decision to retire from the Navy was fueled by one last confrontation with a toxic commanding officer who bullied and abused him, along with other shipmates who chose to endure mistreatment rather than challenge it. However, the narrative does not end with this sad outcome. In his epilogue, we learn that he has continued his service to the Navy as an advocate for continued progress in eliminating racial bias from the fleet. Through his research, professional articles, editorials, speaking engagements and panel discussions, and now with this edition of his memoir, Reuben Green continues to challenge discrimination for the betterment of this nation’s service members. In his foreword to the book, John Cordle describes it as a revelation and that it belongs “on the shelf of every leader who desires to create a more diverse and inclusive team.” I fully agree with those sentiments and with Cordle’s final recommendation that Black Officer White Navy be placed on the Chief of Naval Operations Reading List.
A retired Navy helicopter pilot, Captain Boland completed a master of arts degree in history and in 2010 joined the faculty at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA as an adjunct instructor in the History Department.

Conference: Navigating the Past: Histories of the US Navy and Marine Corps, 1775–2025 | |
|
Call for Proposals
9–11 October 2025 | Philadelphia and Camden
Proposal deadline: 15 February 2025
The US Navy and the Marine Corps were founded in Philadelphia in 1775 and will mark their 250th anniversary in the city of their birth in October 2025 (see www.homecoming250.org). To coincide with the anniversary, this conference will bring together scholars from the whole sweep of US history to discuss the Navy and Marine Corps in their various contexts. While these branches of America’s military forces have primarily served to project national power on and across the seas, their importance to our understanding of the nation’s past goes far beyond naval yards, sailors, or fleets. We welcome proposals from scholars researching any topic related to the US Navy and Marine Corps over their long history.
The inaugural day of this conference will be held at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, University of Pennsylvania, and focus on the era spanning from 1775 to 1850. The second session, including papers concerned with 1850 to the present, will take place at Rutgers University-Camden and on the storied battleship New Jersey (BB-62). An opening reception will be held at the Library Company of Philadelphia on the evening of 9 October.
We invite proposals for papers and roundtables on the following themes:
- Maritime strategy, tactics, logistics, and diplomacy
- Chronologically and thematically comparative analyses of US maritime power
- Leadership and education within the Navy and Marine Corps
- Explorations of the social, medical, and environmental histories of these branches, including with respect to race and gender
- The Navy Department and the US economy
- Science, technology, and maritime power
- The histories of the Navy and Marine Corps in Philadelphia and Camden
Prospective presenters are invited to submit abstracts of 300 words that outline the research question and anticipated contributions to the conference. Submissions should be uploaded here by 15 February 2025. Accepted presenters will be asked to prepare a paper of no more than 9,000 words, which will be pre-circulated to participants, as well as a ten-minute PowerPoint surveying the main contributions of these papers. Roundtable submissions will not require papers or PowerPoints.
This conference will be chaired by Emma Hart, Director of the McNeil Center, and Katherine Epstein, Associate Professor of History at Rutgers-Camden.

2025 Call for Papers
Continental Connections: Inland Waters and the Shaping of Maritime North America
The North American Society for Oceanic History invites you to join us at the Grand Hotel in Natchez, Mississippi, for our 2025 conference from 15–17 May.
For thousands of years, a vast complex of inland waters shaped the lives and cultures of indigenous North Americans. These same waters allowed European states to establish and maintain outposts of empire thousands of miles from the Atlantic Ocean. During the early decades of the nineteenth century, inland waters made it possible for millions of Euro-Americans to move west and establish the cities and farms that became the foundations of North America’s modern agricultural and industrial economies.
This year NASOH is recognizing the complicated historical legacy of North America’s inland waters by meeting at Natchez, Mississippi. Located on the Mississippi River at the western terminus of the Natchez Trace, an overland trail connecting the Mississippi, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers, Natchez was a natural point of exchange and location of important Indigenous ceremonial mounts. The French, recognizing the area’s importance, built Fort Rosalie in 1716. The present city is named after the Natchez Indians, and its subsequent culture and history are the products of Indigenous, French, English, Spanish, African, and American influences. A natural stopping place and base for keelboats and flatboats, and later steamboats, Natchez became the first capital of the Mississippi Territory and the second-largest slave trading market in the United States. Celebrated for its surviving antebellum architecture and southern heritage, Natchez is also a testament to the enduring and pervasive influences of maritime connections and inland waters in North America.
Session and individual paper proposals are encouraged. Sessions should have no more than 4 papers.
Proposals should include: A) title; B) 150-200 word abstract; C) a 150 word (maximum) biographical statement; D) contact information, including phone number, address, affiliation, and email. This information should be submitted as a single Word document (not pdf), single-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font.
Please note that conference registration is required for papers.
PowerPoint presentations are encouraged, and projectors will be provided. Please note that requests for specific audio-visual equipment, special outlets, or accommodation for disabilities should be included in the proposal.
The deadline for proposal submission is 15 February 2025. Please submit proposal packets electronically to NASOHconference25@gmail.com.
For general questions, please contact Dr. Amy Mitchell-Cook, amitchellcook@uwf.edu.
Additional information regarding accommodations and registration will be available on NASOH’s website, https://nasoh.org/.
Student Travel Grants
Students may apply for a Chad Smith Travel Grant to assist in travel to present a paper at the conference. Additionally, each year NASOH bestows the Clark G. Reynolds Student Paper Award to the author of the best graduate student paper delivered at the conference. Please see the awards section of the NASOH website for details. Students wishing to be considered for either award must indicate so as part of their paper proposal. For more information about these grants, please go to: https://nasoh.org/student-awards.

McMullen Naval History Symposium: 18–19 September, 2025
The year 2025 marks many significant milestones for the United States and its navy. Of special note is the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and the founding of the Continental Navy. Many other significant naval events celebrate lesser milestones this year as well, including the end of the First Barbary War and the War of 1812, the end of World War II, and the founding of the US Naval Academy. The History Department of the United States Naval Academy invites proposals for papers to be presented at the 2025 McMullen Naval History Symposium on these and any other topics related to the naval and maritime history of the United States or the world. While we encourage in-person attendance and participation, the 2025 McMullen will be equipped for very limited virtual participation for participants from outside the United States. Proposals should include a one-page curriculum vitae and an abstract of no more than 250 words that summarizes the research and its contribution to historical knowledge. Panel proposals that include three presenters and a chair are highly encouraged, and should include all relevant material on the presenters, as well as a one-page CV for the chair. The chair will function as a moderator for the panel; there will be no separate comment, apart from audience Q&A. When submitting proposals, either individual or panel, please put all materials into a single file.
Email proposals to navalhistorysymposium@gmail.com by midnight, 14 February 2025.
The program committee anticipates announcing a draft program by the end of April 2025. Online registration for the conference will begin in the spring of 2025. A small number of modest travel stipends are available to graduate students and recent PhDs who do not hold a tenure-track position or full-time employment. Support for these grants comes from the generosity of the McMullen Sea Power Fund established in honor of Dr. John McMullen, USNA Class of 1940. Please indicate your desire to apply for a travel stipend with your proposal. The committee will publish a volume of proceedings in the New Interpretations of Naval History Series, containing the best papers presented, at a future date. Further information on the 2025 McMullen Naval History Symposium, including hotel registration, will be available online at www.usna.edu/History/Symposium in early 2025. Specific inquiries may be directed to the director, Captain Stan Fisher, or deputy director, Dr. Abby Mullen, at the email address listed above.
