AbstractThe mission of the United States Navy expanded significantly because of the presence of the institution of racial slavery on American soil. Most important, both proslavery and antislavery forces favored, for very different reasons, a substantial naval buildup in the late 1850s. The navy had, however, long been engaged in securing the nation’s borders against slave smuggling, an activity that also seemed to have broad support at the time. Finally, somewhat more controversially, the navy had been associated with the American Colonization Society’s Liberian enterprise from its very inception, deciding to deploy vessels to Africa in an otherwise unimaginable time frame. The relationship between the presence of slavery and the pre–Civil War activities of the navy is a largely untold—or, at best, half-told—story of American state development.

Abstract In the introduction to their recent book Sport and the Military: The British Armed Forces, 1880-1960 (2010) Tony Mason and Eliza Riedi state that sport has been “poorly served in histories of the British armed forces.” This is followed by the assertion: “The study of the roles played by sport in the United States military is somewhat more developed” (pp. 1-3). Given the extensive growth that has occurred since the 1970s/1980s in studying “the history of sport” this lack of attention in both countries seems rather surprising. Although histories of sports and physical fitness programs conducted by the United States Navy during World War II have received at least a modicum of attention, those involving the United States Army barely exist.

From the beginnings of the Cold War until the present the Canadian Navy has been a one ocean fleet, postured primarily to supply anti-submarine warfare (ASW) forces to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the Atlantic. Various plans, including the 1987 White Paper on defence, to give the Navy more balance in terms of its areas of operation, mix of forces and missions, have been largely unsuccessful. The main reason for this is that the NATO maritime role has been directly related to the long-standing Canadian foreign policy objective of participating in this multilateral Alliance. In addition, forces earmarked for NATO's Atlantic Command (ACLANT) could also be used for North American maritime roles in cooperation with the United States Navy (USN) and for non-military sovereignty protection tasks. Recent dramatic changes in the international security environment combined with domestic budgetary pressures are likely to result in a continuation of this Atlantic orientation in Canadian naval policy.

When Commodore David Porter resigned from the US Navy to accept the post of commander-in-chief of Mexico’s nascent naval forces, he began a tradition of US involvement with Latin American armed forces that has endured to the present day. Porter’s decision was supported by President John Quincy Adams, who hoped that it would both strengthen the US influence in Mexico and act as a curb on possible Mexican efforts to seize Cuba, a prize which the president coveted himself (for details, see Long, 1970). These objectives signaled another enduring heritage: efforts by the United States to use ties with Latin American military institutions to promote agendas that were frequently unrelated to, or even at variance with, national interests in Latin America. This would be especially true whenever the United States perceived itself as competing with other nations for influence in the region. In 1826, the rival was Great Britain; in this century, it was first Germany and then the Soviet Union, but, in all cases, the bottom line was the same: a determination to make Washington’s influence paramount.

The analysis of the existing methods of determining the effectiveness of the maintenance and repair system of new and newest types of weapons and military equipment entering service in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed that each of the existing approaches has its advantages and disadvantages. The article considers the application of adequate models for determining changes in the technical condition indicator in the form of a normalized residual resource of samples of weapons and military equipment. The proposed method of extrapolation makes it possible to determine the trend of changes in the technical condition of samples of military equipment of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or its development by the time of operation. This approach to modeling the processes of changes in the technical state of samples of weapons and military equipment contributes to the quantitative analysis and forecast of the dynamics of changes over time in their important parameters, namely, the characteristics of quality, condition and prospects for updating their fleet. The use of the proposed methods of assessing changes in the technical condition of a sample of weapons and military equipment during its operation will allow timely forecasting of the process of development of changes in the technical condition of a sample of weapons and military equipment and will allow to increase the readiness of samples of weapons and military equipment to perform tasks as intended. at a given level of reliability of these samples. The presented proposed method makes it possible to determine the moment in time at which the indicator of the technical condition of a sample of weapons and military equipment reaches a given or critical level and is a real step in the research of issues of quantitative determination of the level of the indicator of the residual normalized resource of new and newest samples of weapons and military equipment and in solving the task high-quality (sustainable) between-repair functioning of such samples. Keywords: sample of military equipment, technical condition, indicator of technical condition, residual normalized resource, model. extrapolation method, trend assessment.

AbstractThe management of cultural resources by federal land-managing agencies in the United States is moving in the direction of programmatic approaches that consider archaeological resources on a regional or landscape level. In 2014, the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), in response to meetings with federal agencies, established three task forces on issues related to landscape-scale cultural resource management (CRM). The task forces focused on: (1) survey data quality, durability, and use; (2) incorporating archaeological resources in regional land-use plans; and (3) valuing archaeological resources. Revised reports of the task forces are being published in this issue of Advances in Archaeological Practice. This paper provides the context and history of the task forces, particularly the CRM challenges facing federal land-managing agencies leading to the selection of topics that are subjects of the published articles.

Abstract Introduction Approximately 18% of US Navy sailors are females. Research has shown gender-related differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders in active duty personnel (Foster et al., 2017). Specifically, insomnia, depression, and anxiety are more prevalent in females, while obstructive sleep apnea is more prevalent in males. We have studied the sleep patterns and fatigue levels of crew members on more than 30 US Navy ships. The current study focuses on gender differences in well-being, sleep-related behaviors, and psychomotor vigilance performance of sailors in the US Navy. Methods Using a longitudinal, naturalistic observation paradigm, data were collected from crewmembers on nine USN ships while performing their normal underway duties. Participants (N=1,056) tended to be young (on average 27 years of age), predominantly male (80.6%), and enlisted (84.8%). We assessed average daytime alertness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index), mood (Profile of Mood States), and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). Sleep was assessed with actigraphy and logbooks. Sailors performed a 3-minute version of the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), which was built into their wrist-worn actigraph. Results Compared to males, female sailors reported more depressive symptoms (p=0.042) and less vigor (p<0.001). Females slept more (daily sleep duration: p<0.001) but their sleep was split into more episodes than their male counterparts (p=0.029). Fewer females reported a regular exercise routine (p=0.033). In addition, females report consuming fewer energy drinks (p=0.007), and using fewer nicotine products (p=0.013). Lastly, consistent with findings from civilian populations, female sailors had slower reaction times on the PVT (p<0.001) and experienced more lapses combined with false starts (p<0.001) than their male counterparts. Conclusion Compared to their male peers, female sailors tend to report higher levels of depression and lower levels of vigor. They experience more pronounced split sleep, are less likely to report having an exercise routine, and have poorer performance on the PVT. Fewer females report using energy drinks and nicotine products. Support This research was supported by the Naval Medical Research Center’s Advanced Medical Development Program, the US Navy 21st Century Sailor Office, and the US Navy OPNAV N1.

The objective of this study is to assess the growing role of Special Forces in modern warfare, with specific reference to the United States of America. The main question that the study seeks to address is what are the implications of the growing role of Special Forces in modern warfare? The study also seeks to ascertain why exactly this growth is occurring and whether or not this will have a bearing on the future of not only the manner in which the US conducts conflict but also global conflict as a whole. In order to address these issues the study will look at conventional and unconventional warfare and forces; the roles and missions of Special Forces and the composition of US Special Forces; the role of US Special Forces in modern warfare prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks; and the role of the US Special Forces in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. An analysis of conventional and unconventional warfare as concepts, as well as the forces that constitute conventional and unconventional forces was first done in order to provide some perspective into what these concepts and forces are and more specifically, what differentiates them. Specific reference was made here to the United States’ approach to warfare from the days of the American Revolution up to and including the end of the Cold War. Emphasis is placed on the growing role of US Special Forces throughout the study and this is achieved through the use of four major case studies, namely the 1991 Gulf War; Somalia (1992-1993); the Balkans (1995-2001); and the 2001 ‘Special Forces war’ in Afghanistan. The case studies that dealt with the 1991 Gulf War, Somalia and the Balkans elucidated the growing role of both unconventional warfare and specifically US Special Forces and Special Mission Units since the end of the Cold War. The case study of the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan provided the culmination of the shift from conventional to unconventional warfare and the execution of the campaign as a ‘Special Forces war.’ The study demonstrates that since the end of the Cold War in the 1990’s, unconventional warfare has increasingly become more ubiquitous and can be said to be replacing, or at least equalling in stature, conventional warfare. This has the possibility of dramatically affecting how warfare is executed both currently and more importantly, in the future. The study went on to show that unconventional warfare is not akin to conventional warfare, especially with regard to the forces needed to respond to such conflicts and that Special Forces are the forces most applicable and most effective in dealing with unconventional warfare. The study confirms that Special Forces are the solution to the growing prominence of unconventional warfare and that countries, and specifically the United States can more effectively counter the threat of unconventional warfare and unconventional forces by shifting Special Forces from a supporting component to conventional forces to a supported component. This would require a massive shift in alignment both for the United States as well as other major states’ militaries but as the study has shown, this is pertinent given that unconventional warfare and forces will most likely remain the primary threat that states and militaries will now face

The need for a well thought out, planned, and rehearsed command and control organization to conduct special operations in the US Northern Command Area of Responsibility is vital to success in defending the Homeland. Currently, USNORTHCOM does not have an apportioned or assigned command and control structure for the conduct of special operations. This thesis analyzes three courses of action to fulfill this requirement: use the current USNORTHCOM battle staff command structure including the integration of the Standing Joint Force Headquarters-North; rely on the newly formed US Special Operations Command's Joint Task Force Structures; and establish a Theater Special Operations Command North assigned to USNORTHCOM. Through the conduct of analysis and research this thesis recommends that The Joint Staff direct the reorganization required to establish a Theater Special Operations Command North to exercise command and control of special operations forces conducting operations in the USNORTHCOM AOR.

Through the Freedom of Navigation Program, established in 1979, the United States exercises diplomatic and military options for disputing maritime claims it judges to be inconsistent with customary international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Yet, despite the United States’ universal commitment to freedom of navigation and the law of the sea, it has behaved inconsistently from 1979-2013. This dissertation examines the variation and asks under what conditions the United States demonstrates its refusal to acquiesce to maritime claims—either by issuing a diplomatic protest or driving a warship through the disputed waters. This dissertation introduces a new dataset of every coastal state in the world over this 34-year period, coding each type of maritime claim made by every coastal state in the world, whether the United States disputes that particular claim, and whether the United States takes some kind of diplomatic or operational action to dispute it. The mixed-method analysis proceeds with a large-n quantitative analysis that sets up a qualitative case study on the Strait of Hormuz. The dissertation begins and concludes with a discussion of current conditions in the South China Sea and the United States activity in this disputed region. This study finds that territorial and usage claims are twice as strongly correlated with operational assertions as a response than diplomatic protests. More specifically, coastal states that require foreign ships to obtain permission prior to entering their territorial sea are most highly correlated with operational assertions. When the United States disputes a maritime claim, military powers and wealthy states are no more likely to receive Freedom of Navigation operations (FONOPS) than others. Moreover, bilateral trade relationships and polity type hardly seem to matter. Similarly, neither the number of ships nor diplomatic representation increases the likelihood of FONOPS. Rather, a coastal state’s possession of nuclear weapons significantly increases the likelihood of receiving an operational assertion—especially if that states has made a declaration upon ratification of UNCLOS.

‘An ad hoc navy: the Revolutionary War (1775–1783)’ describes the Patriots’ response to the British Royal Navy strongholds in Boston and New York and the role of armed vessels during the Revolutionary War. It begins with George Washington’s attempts to threaten the British supply line using boats. The Continental Navy was founded on October 13, 1775, but the new program could hardly challenge the Royal Navy. With the exception of John Paul Jones, the Continental Navy proved mostly disappointing. The United States won its independence largely because the determination of the Patriot forces outlasted the British willingness to fight—and to pay for—a war three thousand miles away.

This chapter provides an overview of recent scholarship on the Royal Navy’s economic blockade of the United States between 1812 and 1815. The article shows how the combination of British naval forces and privateers slowly strangled the American economy and nearly immobilized the U.S. Navy. Despite the Royal Navy’s very successful application of economic warfare, it was not decisive. Due to financial exhaustion following the Napoleonic wars, Parliament would not support the naval and military funding necessary to impose the harsh peace terms for which economic warfare had laid the foundation.

Since the 1970s, the United States has struggled to accept that its economic and military powers are finite. The Conclusion looks at ways the American military might make progress while acknowledging these limitations. The American military could be reinvigorated by better communication between politicians and military leaders, a return to traditional values of prudence and circumspection, and greater support during wartime. Technology may have transformed warfare, but enemies often find low-cost means of reducing their impact. The United States possesses the world’s most sophisticated military force, but sometimes the task is greater than it can fulfill, or the results are not worth the price.

Abstract When America’s Civil War broke out in April 1861, the newly created Confederate States of America embarked on an almost impossible task. Far outmatched by the Northern states in all materiels of war, the Confederacy’s only hope was to trade her one advantage, cotton, for weaponry and support from overseas. This proved a daunting task as well, for although a large percentage of the soldiers of the United States Army resigned their positions and joined the Southern cause, virtually none of the United States Navy did. This disparity in shipping was immediately put to good use when Abraham Lincoln ordered a blockade of Southern ports. Early in the conflict, the senior commander in the United States Army, Major General Winfield Scott, developed a grand strategy to defeat the Confederacy. The Anaconda Plan, as its name implies, was designed to squeeze the South to death. The first phase of that plan was to cut them off from the rest of the world, and Lincoln’s blockade did that within a matter of weeks. The United States Navy was stationed off every Southern port to keep cotton in and foreign aid out. To counter this, Confederate agents in Europe (primarily in England) purchased or commissioned the construction of fast ships to run the blockade. These ships had some success, but unfortunately for the Confederate cause, many cargoes were full of scarce trade goods instead of scarce weaponry.

The Pacific War was particularly difficult for the media to cover. The long distances, the terrible weather, the tendency of Douglas MacArthur and Ernest King to prioritize operational security, especially during the defeats of 1941 and 1942, and media bosses in the United States who focused more on Europe than Asia all meant that the fighting in the Pacific was often shrouded from the American public. The situation did not start to improve until 1943 and 1944, as US forces took the offensive, and the army and navy engaged in a dynamic rivalry to grab the biggest share of the headlines. But while the war continued in Europe, even major battles like those fought on Saipan and Okinawa were often buried on the inside pages.

Abstract This chapter surveys the emergence and growth of the Anglican Communion in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the interactions, orientation, and widely touted mission of this Anglophone (and, for many Anglican apologists, emphatically Anglo-Saxon) Communion around the turn of the twentieth century. In light of the ‘Anglo’ and imperial identity of Anglicanism, it examines its close association with the British Army and the Royal Navy, illustrating the historic (even growing) ascendancy of Anglican influence, the vigour of Anglican pastoral work among soldiers and sailors, and the increasing significance of Anglican links with the armed forces at a local level, in the garrison towns of Great Britain and in the missionary context of British India. It examines the gathering strength of ‘Christian militarism’ in the late Victorian period and expressions of military culture within the Church of England and Church of Ireland on the eve of the First World War, reflected in the rise of the Church Army, the St John Ambulance movement, the Church Lads’ Brigade, and the Ulster Volunteer Force. It also discusses how the English Church came to dominate the fledgling military forces of the settler colonies (or Dominions) and elucidates how the Protestant Episcopal Church established its pre-eminent position in the armed forces of the United States. Finally, it draws attention to the importance of Britain’s armed forces as a site for Anglican party conflict, the solutions that were found for this problem, and their consequences following the outbreak of the First World War.

High-speed planing craft continue to increase in popularity. These craft experience high accelerations when operating at high speeds, even in relatively minor wave conditions. In the United States Navy, planing craft often operate at high speeds to accommodate mission needs, such as insertion of Special Forces into hostile areas. Passenger safety and structural integrity are affected by the accelerations experienced. Seakeeping towing tank tests measuring accelerations are generally motivated by structural design considerations or concern for passenger safety. Traditional seakeeping tests tow the model at constant speed, regardless of oscillating slamming loads, and allow the model to move only in heave and pitch. Typically in a planing hull seakeeping test the model is fixed in surge, i.e. restrained from moving backwards and forwards relative to the towing carriage. By contrast, planing boats operating in open water are propelled by constant thrust and forward speed is known to oscillate slightly with each wave slam. A concern for the accelerations measured in planing model tests is whether the vertical accelerations measured are accurate when the freedom to move in surge is restricted. To produce more accurate acceleration data for planing models, a test was completed at the United States Naval Academy examining the effects of surge on planing hull wave slam accelerations. These tests were completed in the 380-foot USNA Hydromechanics Laboratory using a model with a 4-foot length. The model was tested at a length-based Froude number of 1.85 in regular waves with a 1.1-second period and a wave height of 2.4-inches. The testing compared a self-propelled model, which was allowed freedom in surge, to a traditional test. The self-propelled model was outfitted with a motor and propeller that ran on a manual feedback system. Velocity, drag, pitch, heave, surge, and vertical and longitudinal accelerations were recorded. Statistical analysis of the acceleration data will be presented. Acceleration time histories of the impacts with and without freedom in surge will be compared. Preliminary data shows that using a self-propelled towing apparatus produces an increase in the vertical accelerations. Longitudinal accelerations appear to be smaller using the self-propelled rig than from using the locked-in-surge towing method. Suggestions for future testing, including lessons learned, will also be presented.

Following the successful development of aircraft jet engines during World War II (WWII), the United States Navy began exploring the advantages of gas turbine engines for ship and boat propulsion. Early development soon focused on aircraft derivative (aero derivative) gas turbines for use in the United States Navy (USN) Fleet rather than engines developed specifically for marine and industrial applications due to poor results from a few of the early marine and industrial developments. Some of the new commercial jet engine powered aircraft that had emerged at the time were the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8. It was from these early aircraft engine successes (both commercial and military) that engine cores such as the JT4-FT4 and others became available for USN ship and boat programs. The task of adapting the jet engine to the marine environment turned out to be a substantial task because USN ships were operated in a completely different environment than that of aircraft which caused different forms of turbine corrosion than that seen in aircraft jet engines. Furthermore, shipboard engines were expected to perform tens of thousands of hours before overhaul compared with a few thousand hours mean time between overhaul usually experienced in aircraft applications. To address the concerns of shipboard applications, standards were created for marine gas turbine shipboard qualification and installation. One of those standards was the development of a USN Standard Day for gas turbines. This paper addresses the topic of a Navy Standard Day as it relates to the introduction of marine gas turbines into the United States Navy Fleet and why it differs from other rating approaches. Lastly, this paper will address examples of issues encountered with early requirements and whether current requirements for the Navy Standard Day should be changed. Concerning other rating approaches, the paper will also address the issue of using an International Organization for Standardization, that is, an International Standard Day. It is important to address an ISO STD DAY because many original equipment manufacturers and commercial operators prefer to rate their aero derivative gas turbines based on an ISO STD DAY with no losses. The argument is that the ISO approach fully utilizes the power capability of the engine. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the ISO STD DAY approach and how the USN STD DAY approach has benefitted the USN. For the future, with the advance of engine controllers and electronics, utilizing some of the features of an ISO STD DAY approach may be possible while maintaining the advantages of the USN STD DAY.

With a renewed global focus on anti-submarine warfare (ASW), the United States Navy will increasingly rely on unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) technology to serve as a cost-effective force multiplier. Modern UUV development necessitates a uniquely constrained, iterative approach to the traditional submarine design spiral. Considering a broad spectrum of customer-generated requirements, the UUV conceptual design process applies the best practices of naval architecture, marine engineering, ocean engineering, systems engineering, and submersible design. This paper provides an assessment of the traditional approach to the UUV design and development process. Specifically, this paper analyzes the design philosophy for modern UUVs, provides a design framework for the UUV conceptual design process, and details specific recommendations to encourage innovation in the subsea realm.

Over 120,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur annually in the United States, mainly affecting the young athletic population. Non-contact injuries are reported to be the predominant mechanism of ACL injury (>70% of ACL injuries), which often occur during landing with high ground reaction forces, muscle forces and segmental inertia. An improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying non-contact ACL injury and inciting events can be used to improve current prevention strategies and decrease the risk of early-onset osteoarthritis. Previous biomechanical and video analysis studies have demonstrated that anterior tibial translation (ATT), knee valgus and internal tibial rotation (ITR) are associated with non-contact ACL injuries [1–3]. While the effects of these factors on ACL injury risk have been extensively studied, there is still controversy and debate about the timing in which these motions occur and reach maximum values during a jump landing task. The current study aimed to investigate interactions between tibio-femoral joint kinematics and ACL strain through a detailed cadaveric simulation of the knee biomechanical response during landing from a jump. For this purpose, instrumented cadaveric limbs were used to simulate bi-pedal landing following a jump utilizing a novel testing apparatus.

Abstract Total knee arthroplasty is one of the most common orthopedic procedures performed in the United States. Though the success rate of the procedure is considerably high, a number of patients report some level of post-operative pain. A lack of an in vivo method for tracking forces and alignment presents the challenge of non-invasive, early diagnosis of potential failure mechanisms in total knee replacements (TKR). Our research group seeks to solve this problem by developing an in vivo sensing system which includes piezoelectric transducers to measure the location and magnitude of compartmental forces in a TKR. A challenge presented by this task is identifying transducer locations that minimize error in the sensed compartmental force locations over the duration of the total gait cycle. This study presents a parametric analysis to evaluate the performance of six piezoelectric transducers embedded in the polyethylene component of a TKR. The main phases of the gait cycle are the stance phase, in which the foot is in contact with the ground, and the swing phase, in which the foot has broken contact with the ground. We seek to simulate the behavior of a relevant point during the stance phase of the gait cycle, so the proposed parametric analysis simulates an axial force applied to the femoral component rotated at 14° which corresponds to the point of max load. The applied load is determined by a biomechanics model previously developed by our research group in OpenSim. The analysis computes the forces transmitted to each transducer which are used to calculate the location of compartmental forces applied through the femoral component to the polyethylene component. The parametric analysis aided in determining a transducer arrangement that minimized the deviation between “sensed” contact point location and true location with simulation number 26 demonstrating a minimum deviation of less than half a millimeter.

In 2008, Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) took the initiative to identify the main causes of reportable incidents in compressor and pump stations. Data was gathered from several sources including the United States� Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Canada�s National Energy Board, and PRCI member companies. More than 1600 incidents were reviewed over an 18 year period (1990 to 2008). The incidents were evaluated based on their frequency of occurrence and the consequences of the incidents (injury, ignition, environmental impact, etc�). In pump stations, pump seals, valves out of sequence due to operator error, and gasket and bolting were identified as the highest impact incidents types. In compressor stations, the three highest impact incident types were found to be pipe components, natural forces (hurricanes and lightning strikes), and gaskets and bolting. During the 2008 project, research roadmaps were developed based on the results of the incident data review. In the process of defining the research projects, a brief review into the available technology for the incidents types was conducted. It was quickly found that a more detailed state-of-the-art review was needed to accurately identify the research required for several of the incident areas. Therefore, a state-of-the-art review of the three highest impact incidents in pump and compressor stations was proposed. The work documented in this paper is the state-of-the-art review of these incidents. In the PRCI CPS 9-1 (2008) project, it was found that more information was needed on several of the incidents in order to fully define the root cause. Therefore, the first task of the PRCI CPS 9-1 (2009) effort was to attempt to gather more information on the top three impact incident types. Thirty-two pipeline companies were contacted and additional information was provided for approximately 25% of the incidents. From the review of this additional and past data, several focus areas were identified for the state-of-the-art reviews. The state-of-the-art studies included a survey of the current technology, identification of common failure mechanisms, and review of strategies to reduce incident occurrences. These studies are reviewed in detail in the appendices of this document. From the state-of-the-art studies and the incident review, technology gaps were identified. Technology gaps are areas where new innovative technologies or applications are required to address current inspection/maintenance strategies for a particular piece of equipment or task. Technology gaps were only identified for pump seals. These gaps included the inability for pump seals to survive process upset conditions, inability to correctly identify and model expected loads and operating conditions for pump seal selection, and lack of installed seal inspection or life prediction methods except through leakage detection. All other incident types (valves out of sequence due to operator error, gaskets and bolting, pipe components, and natural forces) have adequate technology to address the incident occurrences. In the majority of the incidents, even though the technologies exist, it may not be used or applied correctly. Several recommendations were made for future work. These included work that a company may consider conducting internally to reduce the occurrence of incidents and future research. The recommendations for future work for operators and research for industry are summarized in a list below. Research items included on the research roadmaps are indicated with an asterisk.
