Book Description
Excerpt from The Evolution of Naval Armament The notes on which these essays are based were collected in the course of two commissions spent under the lee of the Admiralty library, close to the Royal United Service Institution, and in touch with the Reading Room of the British Museum and other public sources of information. The lack of a hook describing in popular language the materialistic side of naval history is, I think, generally admitted. Historians as a rule have devoted small space to consideration of material; in particular, the story of the revolutionary changes in naval material which took place during the nineteenth century has never been placed before the public in convenient form. In the attempt to supply such a description I have taken the liberty, as an engineer, of treating of naval material as a whole; tracing, as well as my technical knowledge permits, the progress of all the three principal elements - ship, gun, engine - and their interdependence. The result, faulty and incomplete as it is, may nevertheless he of considerable service, it is hoped, in clarifying the work of the historians and bridging the gap which divides the classic histories from our modern text-books. I have considered our modern navy to begin with the "Admiral" class of battleship, about the year 1880. My respectful thanks are due to the heads of three Admiralty departments: Captain R. H. Crooke, C.B., lately Director of Naval Ordnance; Engineer Vice-Admiral Sir George Goodwin, K.C.B., LL.D., Engineer-in-Chief of the Fleet; and Sir Eustace T. D'Eyncourt, K.C.B., Director of Naval Construction; for their unofficial approval. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Boat Armament of the U. S. Navy (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Boat Armament of the U. S. Navy It is now four years since the Memorandum was printed by order of the Bureau of Ordnance, for the use of the officers of the Navy, in order to explain the System of Boat Armament then recently adopted. The number printed has been nearly exhausted, and other occupation has alone prevented me from preparing a second edition, some time since, with such corrections and additions as the tests of service or farther investigation should have rendered proper. It is gratifying to me that, on the whole, the plan and its details have proved efficient, and have encountered fewer difficulties than usually attend the first practical initiation of a new project. And that its general utility has been recognized in several instances, where light artillery has been needed in boats or in landing detachments of seamen.
