U.S. Navy Responses to International Incidents and Crises, 1955-1975. Volume I. Survey of Navy Crisis Operations,

Abstract

Over the period 1955-1975, the Navy and Marine Corps played an active role in U.S. crisis management diplomacy, responding to 99 international incidents and crises, exclusive of the Vietnam War. This paper provides a summary history of these operations, focusing upon major trends in the Navy's operations over the 21 year period. Particular emphasis is given to the employment of major projection forces (aircraft carriers and amphibious units) in these responses. Brief descriptions of the 99 incidents and responses are also presented.
