Established in 1882 primarily to advance the Navy's modernization efforts4 it is the oldest member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and serves as the nation's premier source of maritime intelligence. Since the First World War ONI's mission has broadened to include real-time reporting on the developments and activities of foreign navies; protecting maritime resources and interests; monitoring and countering transnational maritime threats; providing technical operational and tactical support to the U.S. Navy and its partners; and surveying the global maritime environment. ONI employs over 3000 military and civilian personnel worldwide and is headquartered at the National Maritime Intelligence Center in Suitland Maryland. William H. Hunt who served briefly as Secretary of the Navy under President James Garfield formed a Naval Advisory Board tasked with rebuilding the Navy and bringing it up to par to global standards. Largely in response to Mason's recommendations on March 23 1882 Hunt issued General Order No. 292 which read: "An "Office of Intelligence" is hereby established in the Bureau of Navigation for the purpose of collecting and recording such naval information as may be useful to the Department in time of war as well as in peace. To facilitate this work the Department Library will be combined with the "Office of Intelligence" and placed under the direction of the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Commanding and all other officers are directed to avail themselves of all opportunities which may arise to collect and to forward to the "Office of Intelligence" professional matters likely to serve the object in view." The new Office of Naval Intelligence would be headquartered in the State War and Navy Building now the Old Executive Office Building with Mason appointed as its first "Chief Intelligence Office".note 1 As originally conceived ONI assisted in the Navy's advancement by dispatching naval attachés around the world to acquire data and resources related to the latest in naval warfare. These findings would be analyzed interpreted and disseminated to Navy leaders and government officials helping to inform policies and programs related to naval development. The Second World War would see another expansion of ONI's duties and a subsequent increase in its budget and staff. The office established two intelligence schools that trained hundreds of Intelligence officers for the Navy. Its Special Activities Branch offered critical intelligence on German U-boat technology operations and tactics which proved decisive in the Battle of the Atlantic. ONI supplied U.S. forces with ship and aircraft recognition manuals provided photographic specialists for identifying enemy vessels assisted in naval mission planning and was responsible for the translation evaluation and dissemination of intercepted Japanese communications.

Terminology. Technical data. This is part of the ONI 54 series of warship recognition manuals. It includes information on the Fletcher Class Farragut Class Mahan Class Sims Class Benson Class Livermore Class Sumner Class of Destroyers along with information on other Destroyer classes with fewer associated ships. In 1941 the US Navy began building a fleet of large destroyers its first design to rival the Japanese "special type" destroyers that had first entered service more than a decade before. These 175 flush-deck "2100-tonners" became "in retrospect . . . the most successful of all American destroyers: fast roomy capable of absorbing enormous punishment and yet fighting on."2 Thanks to postwar service in the US plus fourteen foreign navies they remained a familiar sight around the world into the 1990s. The fourth of June 1942 was a significant day for the US Navy. In the mid-Pacific its aircraft sank four of Japan's six front-line aircraft carriers while turning back the invasion fleet at the Battle of Midway. Meanwhile at nearly the same hour seven time zones to the east the first of the 2100-ton Fletcher-class destroyers was commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard. Their design was a fine achievement balancing ruggedness and seaworthiness armament speed and protection on a classically-proportioned 376½-foot flush deck hull. Known at first as "US Destroyer No. 445" for the hull number of the lead ship the design incorporated ten torpedo tubes in two quintuple centerline mounts plus five 5-inch/38 caliber dual purpose guns anti-aircraft weapons and depth charges. At 2050 tons standard displacement and approximately 2900 tons fully loaded the Fletchers were significantly larger than any preceding American destroyer classes. Authorized for fiscal year 1941 construction of the first ships was already under way when the United States entered the war. In an emergency program to expand capacity some shipyards were upgraded and other new ones were brought on line. Eventually eleven shipyards launched 175 ships over the next 32 months—the most numerous class of destroyer completed by any navy. They were also the first US destroyers fitted with radar as built.<br /> The pace of US destroyer construction accelerated with the wartime Fletcher class. Laid down beginning in 1941 all 175 Fletchers were completed between June 1942 and February 1945 launched an average of 212 days after keel laying and commissioned after an average of 152 days more or 364 days total—nearly 10 per cent faster than the repeat Bensons and Gleaves that preceded them. The Fletchers are remembered as the signature US Navy destroyer class of the Pacific war. There the earliest ones saw action in the nighttime surface battles in the Solomon Islands many fought at Leyte and all completed in time for fleet screening and shore bombardment assignments and the notorious anti-kamikaze radar picket duty at Okinawa. While 19 were lost and six damaged beyond repair 44 earned ten or more service stars 19 were awarded the Navy Unit Commendation and 16 received the Presidential Unit Citation.
