The Secretary of the Navy, in rs

"The following is the least force

and schooner In the Atlantic, in

those stations cannot be employed, l 4

whole, two ships of the line, four

schooners. Many of these vessels
will be on distant stations, i'll going to

must be consumed; and all will re-
quire frequent repair, refitting and cx
charge of crews. Other vessels must
therefore, be kept in commission to
relieve them, and force, equal to
bout one fifth of the whole amount,
win he necessary for this purpose.
"When the vessels now authorised
by law to be built are completed, there
will be besides those on the lakes)

first class, 9 CT the second class, 8

and IL sloops of war. should Congress
order ten more to be built These,
when in commission, together with |
the shore stations, will require the mum.
Der ofot1icers mentioned in the second
section, and which is therefore taken
as the largest which it is at this time
necessary to authorize. The vessels
having been built, and being design
ed for our protection from foreign ag
erosion, we must train officers to /
command and manage them 1t is
worse than useless to have vessels,
which cannot be employed for the
want of officers, and great folly to
entlust them to those whose ignorance
and inexperience will endanger their
safety. The experiment wonld be a
like hazardous and prodlgal."
