Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States Navy IN preparing this volume the writer has been animated by a desire to tell, in one convenient volume, that might be sold at a moderate price, the whole story of our navy - to describe all the important naval battles, and to show how the nation has been affected at certain times by the work of its naval ships, and at other times by the want of such a force. All battles that have had any influence upon the wars in which the nation has been engaged, or upon the evolution of ships of war, or upon the character of our naval men, or of the nation, have been deemed important herein. Any con sideration of the facts shows that our sailors were animated, in most of their battles, by the knowledge that they were fighting for the very life of the nation, and it is therefore not too much to say that a description of such a fight must be a hero story, however told. Frankly, it was in the be lief that every history of our navy claims attention first of all as a hero story that this one was written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Navy and the Next War If ever the navy of the United States needed the intelligent support of the American people, it is at the present moment. And it is fortunate that interest is now growing, and that a disposition on the part of our citizens to force action toward the meeting of the needs of the service is beginning to show itself. On one point there seems to be no difference of opinion - that if we are to have a navy at all, it should be as efficient as it possibly can be made. We have to-day individual ships that are the admiration of foreign naval architects. We have officers and men on board of them that we believe are the equal of those in any other service. We have certain materials of war that are as good as those manufactured for other fleets. But what we have not appreciated is that efficient individual ships and efficient crews do not alone make a powerful navy. These units must be welded into an efficient whole by an organization and administration which co-ordinate their capabilities and direct their efforts toward a common end.

Book Synopsis A Short History of the United States Navy (Classic Reprint) by : George R. Clark
Download or read book A Short History of the United States Navy (Classic Reprint) written by George R. Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the United States Navy This history owed its origin to the need of a work suit able in scope and treatment as a text-book for the midship men of the United States Naval Academy. Since, in a tentative form, it has been used by them with gratifying results, there is hope that it may prove of interest and value to others whose time for this subject is limited. It has been written with certain definite aims, the principal of which are the following: First, to present a record of exactly what happened, without personal, sectional, or national prejudice. Second, to regard naval events from the professional rather than the picturesque point of view; for example, to emphasize the maneuvering and gunnery in an action rather than the smoke and blood. Third, to suppress the trivial and bring o'ut the important, not neglecting the services of officers in time of peace. Fourth, to give, whenever possible, the original sources, such as letters from secretaries of the navy, and official reports of officers. These official reports, we feel, are of singular value. The fighter writes as he shoots - straight to the mark. He may be prejudiced in favor of his own flag, but his account is usually more sportsmanlike than are the corresponding accounts of his countrymen who were not there to see, and has a unique interest that no rewriting ever attains. In the following pages will be found reports by both friends and foes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Many-Sided Navy To my friends in the service I trust no apology is needed, except to express a most genuine sense of temerity in treading upon ground so full of pitfalls for the civilian. My only excuse is the ungrudging help, frank criticism, and encourage ment which I have constantly received from them both a oat and ashore. To them belongs the credit for whatever technical merits this work may possess; the errors are assuredly my own.

Download or read book Love Afloat written by F. H. Sheppard and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love Afloat: A Story of the American Navy The period of time at which occurred the events now to be described, was during the years when piracy had been carried so far that the United States government was obliged to keep a considerable naval force constantly cruising among the islands of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea. Our commerce in those waters had become so feeble, and the lives of our sea-faring citizens were exposed to so much danger, that the country undertook an expensive and tedious task of years in order to restore strength to the one and give to the other that security which is the birthright of America's children. The work to be performed was the repression of piracy; and the government could use only its naval arm in the undertaking. The law of nations forbade the employment of the other. This fact, joined to the languor of the higher Spanish authorities, the collusions of Spanish officials, and the sympathy of Spanish people, made the work proceed but slowly; yet from the beginning the end was apparent. That thorough-going practical officer, Commodore David Porter of Essex fame, acted as controlling and directing mind; and the country felt that it was well served.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy as I Have Known It: 1849-1899 In speaking of half a century I am strictly correct, as I entered the Navy 8th May '49, and my last active appointment as commander-in-chief at Plymouth expired on June 1899, though I remained on the active list till 15th June 1901, when I attained the age of sixty five, and in accordance with the Orders in Council, I was placed on the retired list. I was accordingly over fifty two years on the active list. It was a great gratification to me to be able to celebrate my fiftieth anniversary of entry into the Navy while still on active service in high command, an experience which can naturally fall to the lot of few Naval, and of still fewer Military officers.

Later' in the course, he is introduced to the swimming bath, where, if he cannot already breast the ood, yet a second instructor is waiting to teach him the rudiments Of the natatory art, and within a fortnight the new hand is talking quite learnedly of the more com plicated strokes Of swimming, or boasting Of his prowess in life-saving drill, or of the number Of lengths he can now swim. Squad drill, the way to walk and where to put his feet, and various field exercises enter greatly into Young Jack's life at this stage, and so hard does he work, and so keen is he on the new life, that he is usually very tired when the bugle goes for him to pack up instructions at four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the ordinary class he carries on with the education started at his elementary school; in the advanced class he is taught algebra, trigonometry.
