During World War II, Schade was Head of the Carrier Desk for the United States Navy's Bureau of Ships. In this capacity he was highly influential in the development of all classes of aircraft carriers commissioned during the war, particularly the ''Essex''-class. Schade added materially in overcoming the shortage of aircraft carriers of all types by overseeing their accelerated construction thereby contributing to the defeat of the German Submarine campaign, the shift from the defensive to the offensive in the Pacific, and the subsequent successful prosecution of the war. Near the end of the war, Schade served as Chief of the United States Naval Technical Mission in Europe. The Mission was charged with the responsibility of exploiting German science and technology for the benefit of the United States Navy's technical Bureaus. ==Early life and education== He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He attended Central High School. He was appointed to the United States Naval Academy by the US Congressman from the Fourth District of Minnesota in 1919. He was called "Packy II" at first, after a more athletic student who had attended six years earlier at the Academy. His own athletic talents led his classmates to drop the "II" later. He was on the Plebe and Junior Varsity crew teams. In 1923, Schade graduated from the Naval Academy with distinction, seventh in his class of 414. On He was commissioned Ensign in the United States Navy and ordered to the battleship . There Schade became Communication Watch Officer. In May 1925, Schade started postgraduate work in Naval Architecture at the Naval Academy's Postgraduate School, Annapolis, Maryland. In 1926, he attended the Construction Corps. He continued his education at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received his Master of Science degree in Naval Architecture in June 1928. Schade's Masters thesis entitled ''Deformation and Stresses in Pipe Bends'' was published later that same year by MIT's Department of Naval Construction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry A.
