135k | Rear Adm. Alfred Thayer Mahan, born 27 September 1840 at West Point, NY, graduated from the Naval Academy in 1859 and served with the South Atlantic and western Gulf Blockading Squadrons during the Civil War. Later appointed President of the Naval WarCollege, he served two tours, 1886-89 and 1892-93. His widely admired study, “The Influence of Sea Power Upon History,” and his many other well reasoned and scholarly books and articles have made a major impact upon geopolitical thought and modern theories of world strategy and have established Mahan’s place among history’s great thinkers. Having retired in 1896, he was recalled during the Spanish-American War to serve on the Naval Strategy Board. Among his many activities during the years which followed were service as a delegate to the First Peace Conference at The Hague; as a member of the Board of Visitors, Naval Academy, 1903; with the Senate Commission on Merchant Marine, 1904; as a member of the Commission to Report on the Reorganization of the Navy Department; and as a lecturer at the Naval War College. He died at Washington, D.C. 1 December 1914. Portrait courtesy of the Naval War CollegeMuseum. Donated by the United States Naval Academy. | Bill Gonyo |

| 194k | U.S. Navy Sikorsky SH-3A Sea King (BuNo 148985) helicopter on the fantail of the guided missile frigate USS Mahan (DLG-11) in May 1967. The U.S. Navy stripped several SH-3As of their ASW-equipment and used them for armed search-and-rescue missions in the Gulf of Tonkin and North Vietnam. This helicopter was assigned to Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Two (HS-2) Golden Falcons as part of Carrier Anti-Submarine Air Group 57 (CVSG-57) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CVS-12). However, the SAR-helicopters were often based on guided missile destroyers (then called "frigates"), which had small landing pads with less than one meter clearance to the superstructure. This SH-3A, was lost at sea two weeks after this photograph was taken on 23 May 1967, with the loss of the crew of four. Photograph taken by Capt. Stephen T. Millikin, USN.
