during the world wars of the 20th century the navy's manpower needs were such that the navy reached out to women to serve in a wide variety of support roles. there is irony and i'm afraid obvious sexism in this recruiting poster from 1917, but within months women did indeed join the navy. initialed as secretaries and administrators, but then in a wide variety of posts, though not on combat ships. in world war ii the navy eagerly sought women for what was called the ways, an acronym if you don't know for women accepted for volunteer emergency service. by 1943 were 27,000 women in the navy and this time they served not only as administrative assistants but a wide variety of duties including as pilots and air crews ferrying airplanes from factories to the airfields. the waves disappeared at the end of world war ii. i met people who think women are still in the waves. they are not. they are in the navy. a voluntary emergency service ended with the emergency but women remain in the navy. the force reflects the nation at large today. 20% of navy personnel identify as black, slightly larger pe

during the world wars of the 20th century the navy's manpower needs were such that the navy reached out to women to serve in a variety of roles. there is irony and sexism in this recruiting poster from 1917 but within months women did indeed join the navy. initially as a secretary or administrators. in world war ii they sought women for women accepted for voluntary emergency service. by 1943, there were 27,000 women in the navy. and this time they served not only as administrative assistance, but pilots going from factories to airfields. the waves disappeared after the world war ii. i met women who think they are still in the waves but they are in the navy. 20% of navy personal identify as black. slightly larger percentage than the country as a whole. latinos make up 16% exactly their representation in the general population. 18% are women. and the laws that previously barred them from combat have come down, too. the last barrier in the navy was breached in 2011 when two women reported on board one of the navy's ballistic submarines. you may have seen two arm officers who were women pas

the chinese navy, the people's liberation army navy, is extending their reach around the world. this is great power competition. but importantly russia and china are not the only teams seeking to gain advantages in this emerging environment. others are also pursuing advanced technology, including military technologies, technology that was once really the exclusive purview of great powers. and this trend will only continue. the cost of entry, the proliferation is going down. p proliferation going up, cost of entry going down. coupled with a continuing education to furthering its nuclear weapons program, north korea's provocative actions continue to destabilize the region. teheran's advanced missiles, proxy forces, and other conventional capabilities continue to pose threats to which the navy must remain prepared to respond. finally, there is the international terrorist groups and they have proven to be adaptive and resilient and pose a long-term threat to stability and security around the world. so the competition has sped up. it is moving faster. i will tell you the thing i'm tr

so what is the role of the navy in this changing world? well, i think as always our mission remains, by and large, the same. it's to keep the homeland safe, to protect american interests around the world, to protect our prosperity, that trade on which our prosperity is founded and which so much, 90% of goods still travel over the sea. it's to guarantee and insure our strategic influence around the world through our presence, through our high-end competition and, if necessary, through conflict. but we are going to have to answer the strategic challenges and posture ourselves to effectively compete. so if you think about those four forces that i mentioned, we have laid out, i have laid out a four-vector response, okay? in response to the growing importance of the maritime domain, we are going to challenge ourselves and focus back on high-end operations in blue water, and we will focus on addressing those challenges just below the threshold of conflict, that gray war or, you know, that's been referred to in many ways. in response to the growi

the military, army and the navy came up with the design for flags for these officers and roosevelt saw them and was not at all happy because admirals with five stars and generals with five stars -- my flag only has four stars. his presidential flag would appear to be outranked by military flags anoint him to no end. incidentally, very tiny things could get fdr upset but especially if they affected the navy. he did not like many of the names the navy would choose for ships under construction. he insisted on passing personally himself on the name of every new naval vessel that was to be built during world war ii. a phenomenal waste of time for a commander in chief but he had been assistant secretary to the navy in world war i and always referred to "my" navy. so much so that general marshall at one time said the army is also yours. please do not forget that. >> the human interest stories came our way all the time. >> the presidential flag and seal. fdr told his naval aide to do something about this. and the eight as military naval people are accustomed pass it down to me. i was delighted

navy in bahrain, the headquarters of the u.s. navy's 5th fleet? >> we don't know. what we do know is that the u.s. says they lost communications with these boats, which could send the message that, no, they were not allowed to communicate, and that was the first sign of trouble, in fact, when the u.s. navy lost communication with these boats. let's describe what this encounter would have been like, because we know those u.s. fast boats, they're armed with 50-caliber machine guns. the irgc, the iranian revolutionary guard corps that has responsibility for the waters of the persian gulf, they have many fast attack boats like that as well. they would likely be armed as well. so, you would have an encounter of two armed boats. hard not to call that hostile conditions. now, what we're told by u.s., both administration officials and defense officials, that there was nothing hostile about it, and in fact, they say that at least at the leadership level, that there was a quick reaction at the highest levels, including john kerry, of course, speaking to his iranian counterpa
