> A number of new publications/documents now are available as resources
>on the homepage of the Naval Historical Center.
>
> — The text and selected photos from “By Sea, Air, and Land: An
>Illustrated History of the U.S. Navy and the War in Southeast Asia” by
>Dr. Edward J. Marolda can be accessed at
>http://www.history.navy.mil/seairland.
>
> — Dr. Vincent A. Transano’s 1997 history of the Seabees can be
>viewed at http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq67-1.htm. Dr. Transano is
>command historian of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
>
> — “The U.S. Navy in Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm” can be
>accessed at http://www.history.navy.mil/wars/dstorm. Possibly the most
>valuable resource of this section is the day-by-day chronology of the
>campaign. Additionally, one appendix includes a listing of all naval
>units particpating in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. NOTE: The original
>document was published within six week of the cessation of hostilities,
>so there are some “fog of battle” inconsistencies present.
>
> Many other resources, incuding a compact Civil War naval chronology
>can be viewed in the “Wars and Conflicts” section at
>http://www.history.navy.mil/wars.
