William H. Standley, of Ukiah, California, graduated from
the U.S. Naval Academy in 1895 and earned a commendation for bravery during
the Philippine American War. His career included extensive sea duty, sea
commands, and tours ashore, including Commandant of Midshipmen at the
Naval Academy; head of the War Plans Division; and, in 1928, Assistant
Chief of Naval Operations. Standley eventually attained the post of Commander
Battle Force, U.S. Fleet. As Chief of Naval Operations, he frequently
performed duties for the ailing Secretary of the Navy. Admiral Standley
drafted the Vinson-Trammell Act by which Congress provided the funds for
building the Navy to full strength allowed by the Washington and London
arms limitation treaties. He advocated a regular ship construction schedule
to maintain pace with emerging technologies and sponsored establishment
of the Fleet Marine Force. Having retired in 1937, Standley was recalled
to active duty in 1941 to serve on the Board of the Office of Production
Management. He also served on the Roberts Commission to investigate the
attack on Pearl Harbor. He was Ambassador to the USSR in 1942-1943. |

Aboard USS
Kitty Hawk, At sea (June 23, 2006) - Aircrew from Helicopter Anti-submarine
Squadron (HS) 14 practice operating a Browning .50-caliber machine gun
during a live-fire exercise on the ex-USS Standley (CG 32). The
Browning is used as a point defense weapon against possible small boat
and aircraft attacks. Kitty Hawk, the first of the modern "super
carriers," is currently operating in the Coral Sea off the coast
of Australia's Queensland region as part of Exercise Talisman Saber 2006.
A combined U.S.-Australia command post and field training exercise, Talisman
Saber demonstrates the U.S. and Australian commitment to the military
alliance and regional security. |
