Abstract
The 200-year plus history of the U.S. Navy is a proud story of battles fought and won, of outstanding leaders afloat and ashore, and of selfless service to our Nation. Equally important, it is a story of the continuing application of new technology to the advancement of Naval capabilities. Perhaps at no other period in the Navy's history has the adoption of new technology in the Navy been as pronounced and effective as during the Cold War throughout the fifty or so years following the end of World War II. Why was the Navy able to make such advances? What were the circumstances that led to such remarkable achievements? How were the resources of the Navy brought to bear on the operational and technical problems of the day? One way to assess any aspect of Navy history is to seek out those were a part of that history and to solicit their views and experiences. This approach represents the basis for the present report.
