Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1896, Vol. 22 It is the opinion of the writer, and, I believe, that of many officers, especially those who have recently served on training ships, that the present system of dealing with apprentices, and their disposal after leaving training ships, should be greatly modified or abandoned. The apprentices are often considered of no particular value on board the general service ship, and a good many of the com manding officers consider them a nuisance and bother. They seem to be used principally for messengers and signal boys. After leaving the training ship it appears that, in a practical sense, the apprentices receive but little special instruction or care, and that they are given, at first, too many privileges of men. The regulations, it is true, require instruction, and an examination every quarter. The examinations are often mere forms, as evidenced recently by one officer having, in a day, examined forty apprentices on a new cruiser. No officer on the training ship can examine one.half that number in one branch alone (seamanship or gunnery) in this time. Apprentices transferred to a ship just going into commission, or during the first part of a cruise, are lucky, for they, with the men, will be taught their various duties, as every one is making an endeavor to get the ship and crew in as efficient a state as possible; here the apprentices are taken care of. On the other hand, suppose they join a ship nearing the end of her cruise: those already on board have become well drilled, say, and there is a let-up in the Vigor displayed earlier in the cruise; hence no one takes any special interest in the new apprentice, and he is left to pick up what he can for himself. Now, how much of this will be done on a new cruiser, probably five-sixths her time in port, possibly in navy-yards? The boy's mind turns to lib erty, and the pleasures on shore, and he becomes dissatisfied with the service; and because of this, and also because he sees but little real advancement in the Navy, under present condi tions, he leaves the service in some way or other before he is twenty-one, or at twenty-one, not to re-enlist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1895, Vol. 21 The first steam tactics prepared for the student in the art Of war were mainly drawn from studies Of tactics under sail, the necessary modifications being made to suit the change in motive power. It was evident that many of the Old rules still applied; that the uncertainty produced by being obliged to rely upon the wind having been eliminated, it became possible to be more exact in the performance of manoeuvres and more regular in formations. TO concentrate a large portion Of your force on a small portion Of the enemy's was still the thing for which to strive and more than ever likely to bring success. As sail was partially a source Of reliance, injury to the engines was not entirely fatal; and the knowledge Of how to handle a Vessel under sail was a necessity. The facility with which vessels could be handled under steam and the ease with which concentration could be accomplished gave them such an immense superiority over vessels dependent upon sail alone that it caused sails to fall gradually into disuse. Superiority in speed and in handiness were still elements Of advantage that facilitated the following Of the tactical rule Of concentration. The improvements now came so rapidly, and the differences between the new and the Old weapons became so great that the minds Of naval men were unsettled. It became difficult to draw any analogy between an Old fleet and one of modern times. The tactical relations between the various weapons and between the different types Of Ships were constantly changing, and it was difficult, if not impossible, to estimate the tactical values Of these varying quantities. Each tactician had his favorite weapon and favorite type Of ship, and used a few facts and many suppositions to support his theory. Armor was placed in all positions, guns Of many calibres were carried, vessels were built Of all sizes and carried weapons Of various kinds, and the kinds of powder and projectiles supplied were no less numerous. Some tacticians relied on ramming, some upon torpedoes, and some upon the use Of guns as the principal weapons, putting the others in the background as auxiliaries.
