Royal Australian Navy’s Post

Retired Navy CAPT Steve Deal discusses how investments in education programs such as those at the U.S. Naval Community College could help develop long-term talent for the naval services, including at shipyards. "It is well past time to reimagine our education and training capacities for national security. A positive recent outcome of such nascent thinking is the creation of the U.S. Naval Community College (USNCC), where sailors and Marines now earn associate degrees in fields that matter for their futures and the nation. The modern-day shipyard bus could be training like the USNCC provides, but at a much larger scale — for government and uniformed servants alike. First-term enlistments could be converted into decades-long careers at our shipyards and other defense-related technical production centers. Continued service in the reserves can be further incentivized, concurrently providing an augmented civilian pension along with a military retirement as other federal workers earn today." https://lnkd.in/eEPk5XWR

Final Numbers By war’s end, 619,636 men and women (nurses) had enlisted in Canada during the war. Another 8,826 Canadians sailed with the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy. Several thousands more enlisted directly in England with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Yet, of the roughly 630,000 Canadians who served overall in the CEF, only 425,000 went overseas. They paid a high price for their service, with the total number of dead and wounded numbering 234,741, and with several thousand more dying of their wounds in the war’s immediate aftermath.

#OTD in Maritime History: July 19, 1940 On this day in 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Second Naval Expansion Act, also referred to as the Two-Ocean Navy Act, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. naval history. Amidst rising global tensions and the onset of World War II, this act authorized the construction of additional ships and expanded naval facilities to enhance our national defense. The Act significantly increased the size of the U.S. Navy. This legislation underscored the nation's commitment to ensuring maritime security during a critical period in history. #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #NavyLeague
