Summary: "Our Navy in the War" by Lawrence Perry is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work primarily focuses on the United States Navy's significant role during World War I, detailing its operations and contributions against the German U-boat threat. The narrative encapsulates the challenges, triumphs, and evolution of naval warfare, providing insight into the experiences of naval officers and enlisted men alike, as well as integrating notable events that shaped naval history during the conflict. At the start of the book, the author sets the scene during the heightened tensions and eventual declaration of war against Germany. The opening highlights a pivotal moment when President Woodrow Wilson addresses the officers of the Atlantic Fleet, urging them to confront the submarine menace directly. This introduction serves to underscore the urgency and patriotic fervor surrounding the Navy's mission. It also touches on early encounters, such as the visit from the German U-boat U-53 to Newport, which heralded a new phase of maritime conflict just offshore. As the narrative unfolds, it promises to explore the complexity of naval warfare, the dedication of the crews, and the many facets of administration and logistics that enabled the Navy to adapt to the demands of modern warfare.
