Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
