McMullen Naval History Symposium
The McMullen Naval History Symposium is a biennial international academic conference held at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland devoted to the history of the world's navies. It has become the "largest regular meeting of naval historians in the world"〔John B. Hattendorf, "Foreword," in Craig C. Felker and Marcus O. Jones, ''New Interpretations in Naval History: Selected Papers from the Sixteenth Naval History Symposium, ... 2009'', (Newport: Naval War College Press, 2012), p. ix.〕 and has been described as the U.S. Navy's "single most important interaction with () academic historical audience"〔John B. Hattendorf, "The Uses of Maritime History in and for the Navy," ''Naval War College Review'', vol. LVI, no. 2 (Spring 2003), p. 30.〕
==History==
This regular biennial series of symposia began as the U.S. Naval Academy Naval History Symposium. The first regular symposium was held in Annapolis on 27–28 April 1973, following a successful 1971 conference that had been conceived as an annual event and on a smaller scale with limited, invited participation. In 1977 for the Third Symposium, the Naval Academy History Department decided to expand the concept and model it along the lines of the academic conferences sponsored by the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians〔William B. Cogar, "Foreword," ''Naval History: The Seventh Symposium of the U.S. Naval Academy'' (Wilmington DE: Scholarly Resources, 1988), p. xi,〕
The conference that had been planned to open on 12 September 2001 was abruptly cancelled by the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001 and left the future of the conference in grave doubt. It took four years for the Naval Academy's leadership to approve the resumption of the conference on a biennial schedule, but with strong support the series resumed with the Fifteenth Conference in 2007. Facilitating this, in 2006 the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Foundation granted funds from the estate of Bill Daniels and the McMullen Seapower Lecture gift funds to support the symposium and to name it the McMullen Naval History Symposium in memory of Dr. John J. McMullen, Naval Academy Class of 1940, a naval architect, engineer, and sports club owner. Dr McMullen is also commemorated through a keynote McMullen Seapower lecture given at the symposium by the holder of the Class of 1957 Distinguished Chair of Naval Heritage.
The symposium has shown strength and growth in recent years. Despite the economic recession, more than two-hundred participants from seventeen countries attended the 2009 symposium.〔C.C. Felker, "Preface", ''New Interpretations in naval History'' ... 10–11 September 2009'', (Newport; Naval War College Press, 2012), p. xi.〕 and the 2011 symposium had over 250 in attendance over 125 papers presented.〔( 2013 Call for Papers )〕
