The Royal Navy Officers Jutland Pocket Manual 1916 PDF Download

Excerpt from Watch Officer's Manual: United States Navy, 1917 This volume is the result of an endeavor to collect and put in a compact form those details appertaining to deck duty which will be found necessary or convenient to an officer carrying on a watch. While every line officer in the service is cognizant of most of the details, it is because they are so nearly infinite in number as to be easily forgotten that an attempt to compile them was begun. The regulations, as far as they concern the officer of the deck, are quoted in full; many of the notes were found scattered through various professional publications; and the balance consists of those small practical facts, hints and suggestions, not given elsewhere, which must generally be learned by actual experience on deck. With the generous permission of Lieutenant R: A. R. Plunkett, Royal Navy, and Captain J as. A. Moss, U. S. Army, I have taken a few notes from their respective books. And I am indebted to several officers of the U. S. Navy for many of the notes and for reading. And correcting my manuscript.
