U.S. Navy Aviation History: Celebrating 100 Years
The history of aviation in the Navy is actually quite recent. Beginning in 1910, the Navy has really driven its aeronautical program to new heights. From its modest beginnings before World War I, aviation in the Navy has come a long way. It was not until World War II that the Navy really understood just how important aviation capabilities were and the investment in aircraft carriers helped win the war in the Pacific against a heavily fortified Japanese navy with landing strips on a variety of islands throughout the region. Innovation seemed to stall until new threats in the Cold War once again demanded the Navy to invest in innovation to protect the nation's waters. The height of the Cold War saw the introduction of jet planes and nuclear capabilities on aircraft carriers. In the years after, the Navy has continued to play a…...

An Historical Account of the United States Navy, 1775-Present

The history of the United States Navy should be divided into two parts: the first part consists of (roughly) the Navy's first 100 years; the second (and modern) part follows. It is the difference between the Old and the New, the days of sailing ships and the days of industrial and technological advancement so astounding that the "Old Navy" must now surely seem quaint. This paper will detail the history of the U.S. Navy and describe its transformation from a small force of six frigates in 1794 to the naval superpower of the world that it is today.

In October of 1775, the Continental Congress knew it ought to have some sort of American sea power, and it "passed a resolution urging each colony to fit out armed vessels for its individual defense."

Rhode Island had been the first to propose and Samuel Chase…...

Navy Yard Shooting
Suspect and circumstances surrounding the recent Washington, DC Navy yard shooting

Characteristics of workplace violence and categories of workplace violence

The "red flags" that existed with the Navy Yard shooter

What could have been done to prevent the tragedy

How employers can reduce workplace violence

The research is aimed to provide a detailed account of the characteristics and categories of workplace violence. The workers are intimated through various psychological and physical pressures to adopt a violent behavior with the workplace. However it is the responsibility of the management to ensure that the workers are provided with adequate organizational culture and facilities in reducing the mutual friction. The outsiders influence is also a major cause of workplace violence in most of the cases. The Washington, DC Navy yard shooting is also an incident that could be prevented through effective measures at organizational level.

This allowed the British to be able to fight numerous battles inside various theaters of operations around the globe.
At the same time, this was used to ensure that there were adequate protections in place for their different colonies. If the fleet had not been this size, there is a realistic possibility that Great Britain would have lost areas of support and influence in these regions. This gave them an advantage economically by having control over vast amounts of natural resources and wealth. The oyal Navy was a part of protecting these interests. In this aspect, these beliefs helped to ensure that they were capable of dealing with a variety of threats and issues simultaneously. Over the course of time, this allowed Britain to impose its will on others and safeguard its self-interests at all times.

A fourth idea of British naval doctrine was the development of an all professional force.…...

Navy and Heritage
The United States Navy, as with all of the armed forces of the U.S.A., has a rich history. Since its creation, the Navy has been directly responsible for the continued success of the America's war efforts as well as for the continued protection of the country from its enemies. It is because of the many heroic actions performed by the naval forces since its inception that the navy is currently held in such high regard. Only by reflecting upon the past can we appreciate the present. It is only because of veterans of the armed forces that the country still exists and that the citizenry are free. Heroism in any form always earns respect and the military has more heroes than any other organization. By remembering and acknowledging the actions and the sacrifices of those who came before, the current naval forces can prevent making the same…...

Historian Lloyd concludes, "Sixty-four ships were lost and over 10,000 men before the remnant of the Invincible Armada found refuge in the harbours of Northern Spain" (Lloyd 30). This marked the pinnacle of the British Navy's power and prestige. After they beat Spain, they ruled the waves, and that continued until the 18th century.
In conclusion, the rise of the British oyal Navy during the enaissance period is still legendary in naval circles and in history. The British Navy was powerful, formidable, and managed the seas of the globe. Much of the oyal Navy's success is founded in the practice of privateering, and had it not been for men like Sir Francis Drake, the British Empire might not have had the funds to develop their navy, and dominate the world's oceans for so long. The Navy was not initially formed to defend the country, but rather to defend the privateers,…...

Old Navy needs to pick its own niche, perhaps in the over 30 crowd where the competition isn't as entrenched. Old Navy needs to be careful to avoid overlaps with Gap and Banana Republic which are all part of the same company. Once Old Navy hones its target, it can do a better job of determining the product mix and positioning that will appeal to its intended audience.

Despite its advertising attempts, it's questionable if Old Navy has really gotten its message out to consumers. Brand image is hard to change especially since Old Navy catered to a different market for more than a decade. Consumers simply don't change their image of retailers that easily, particularly one that was as well branded as Old Navy had been in the past. it's campaign slogan, "get your fash'on" at Old Navy" is very weak for convincing consumers that Old Navy has made a…...

Old Navy's Mobile Marketing Campaign
Over the last several years, there has been a shift in consumer tastes. This is because the overall demographic is changing with more of a younger audience becoming the largest segment. To reach out to this new audience, requires changing the basic strategy that is being used during this process. This means that traditional approaches are no longer valid. Instead, there must be an emphasis on using alternative tools to reach out to customers. The most effective approach is to concentrate on mobile applications and online tools. ("Digital Marketing Works Better for Millennials than TV," 2012)

In the case of Old Navy, the firm must be able to redefine itself. This is because the parent company, (i.e. Gap) has been facing challenges associated with reaching out to consumers. Moreover, the recession and slow recovery have made this more challenging for the company. As a result, Old Navy…...

Advertising
Old Navy has gone through many evolutions of marketing campaigns in the last decade. The mannequin approach needs to be retired in exchange for something more fresh and exciting; especially for the target demographic of young males. It is recommended that smartphone advertising be utilized as the delivery platform to reach this demographic.

The common idea about men is that they do not like to shop. However, this isn't quite the case. Rather, they just shop differently. Reaching out the men in the twenty-five to thirty-five demographic requires new skills as marketers. The previous generation of Old Navy advertisements used mannequins to try to attract the attention of its target market. The campaign was described like this in the New York Times (Elliot, 2011):

Old Navy is sending its spokes-mannequins back to the sales floors and storerooms. For almost two years, the Old Navy discount-clothing chain has run a campaign centered on…...

Some brands will be stylish, others vintage, still others cheap and some high quality etc. Old Navy needs to find its niche. Why should customers visit their stores and not the rivals? This distinction must be attained and heavily advertised. This must be done with customer's buying behavior in mind. What will lure the customer to Old Navy for its own products?
Seek Joint Promotion

While cross over products are not always a good strategy for waning businesses, it can definitely help if some mutual benefits can be achieved. Instead of inviting and keeping cross over products as KMART did with Martha Stewart, it's better to seek joint promotion or what is known as inter-firm collaboration. For example if Old Navy has some cashmere products to display, find a top-notch firm that sells matching scarves and this would bring in more customers. In such ventures, customers of the other brand are…...

Navies in American Revolution
For hundreds of years, maritime expansion represented the only way to reach distant shores, to attack enemies across channels of water, to explore uncharted territories, to make trade with regional neighbors and to connect the comprised empires. Leading directly into the 20th century, this was the chief mode of making war, maintaining occupations, colonizing lands and conducting the transport of goods acquired by trade or force. Peter Padfield theorized that ultimately, ritish maritime power was decisive in creating breathing space for liberal democracy in the world, as opposed to the autocratic states of continental Europe like Spain, France, Prussia and Russia. The Hapsburgs, the ourbons, Hitler and Stalin all failed to find a strategy that would defeat the maritime empires, which controlled the world's trade routes and raw materials. Successful maritime powers like ritain and, in the 20th Century, the United States, required coastlines with deep harbors…...

Military -- ritish Royal Navy
Great ritain's geography, society, economy and politics are all ideally intimately connected. The interplay of these forces, along with Great ritain's early and continuing recognition of their importance, fostered the strongest navy possible for protecting the nation's economic and military interests. As a result, the Royal Navy eventually grew to become the dominant maritime global force by the 18th Century.

The interplay among Great ritain's geography, society, economy and politics was so organic in the rise of the Royal Navy to a dominant maritime force by the 18th Century that it is difficult to examine one aspect without also speaking of the others. Geographically, Great ritain's financial districts had access to national and international markets through its multiple ports on the sea, which gave even the smallest ports of the nation the advantages and difficulties of international trade.[footnoteRef:1] Unlike France, for example, Great ritain's economic and political…...

The Nordic Apollo vessel radioed for help on Monday, December 19, indicating that it was being fired on by pirates in a small skiff, according to Philip Ewing, writing in www.military.com. The U.S.S. Pinckney responded with a helicopter (an MH-60R Seahawk), saw the pirates' skiff, and hovered over them. The pirates threw their weapons into the sea, along with their ladders. Soon the Pinckney arrived, launched a small boat and basically disarmed the pirates and threw one of their outboard motors overboard, leaving them just enough power and enough gasoline to get back to Somalia (Ewing).
Should the Navy have shot the pirates dead on the spot, sunk their boat and sent a message to other pirates? Probably their orders are not to kill unless the pirates are threatening the lives of innocent civilians. But the point is, the Navy is doing a wonderful job against this threat and it…...

U.S. Navy Leadership Change
There are many operative processes regularly employed in the 21st century that are decidedly at variance with traditional ones. The increasing trend towards globalization is affecting nearly every industry, including the armed forces. As such, it is no longer advantageous to continue conducting operations and managing resources in a manner that does not reflect contemporary organizational practices specifically designed to accommodate the myriad opportunities and challenges of globalization. If managed properly, the boons of diversity, heterogeneity, and the multitude of skills and experiences from various realms of the private sector can enable the armed forces (and the United States Navy in particular) to transform from a static form of leadership to a dynamic, decentralized one that significantly enhances its efficiency and effectiveness as an organization.

The principle obstacle in achieving this objective is also the primary strength of the U.S. Navy. Like all of the armed forces, it…...
