Although the linen behind the guns
showed such remarkable proficiency dur
ing the recent hostilities with Spain, the
Navy Department is determined to do all
in its power to make American seamen
as nearly perfect in craftsmanship as is
possible. With this in view, Secretary
Long has issued general order designed
to encourage the men to do their best in
hitting the targets with great guns.
This order, prepared by Captain Crownin-
shield, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
is in line with the policy of the depart
ment TO make American men-of-warsmen
as proficient in gunnery as possible, the
Importance of good craftsmanship having
been demonstrated at the battle of Manila
Bay and Santiago. 1t has been learned
that the British navy has recently devoted
more attention TO gunnery than ever be-
fore, and, in view of the necessity OF haV-
ing trained gunners, the department is de-
termined to do what il can TO make Amer
ican seamen equal TO the marksmen of any
navy afioat.
Prior to the war with Spain Captain
Crowninshield succeeded in having the
monitor Amphitrite and the cruiser Lam
easter set aside as gunnery training ships,
and seamen have been trained in gunnery
since that time. The order just issued
prescribes that no seamen shall be detailed
for instruction as gun captain who is not
a citizen of the United States, and only
those shall be selected who have attained
special proficiency as marksmen with great
guns or small arms, or whose superior in
telligence fits them TO acquire such prof.
cheney and who, by force of character and
ability to command, are suitable to fill the
ratings of gun captains. Details for in
struction are to be made from apprentices
of the first class in the last year of their
eIlistments and from seamen and men
holding either acting or permanent ap-
poinIments as coXswains or quartermas-
tiers, third class.
There will be three classes of gun cap
tains, the first class consisting of those
who have, while undergoing training, at
tanned a proficiency of 80 per cent; the
second of men who have attained a pro-
ticiency OF 70 per cent and the third of
men who have attained a proficiency of
from 60 TO 75.per cent. Certificates Will
not be issued al men whose proficiency is
less than go per cent. To encourage the
men, the department has determined TO
award gunnery prizes of So per month to
gun captains of the first class, 50 per
month TO gun captains of the second class,
and 81 per month to gun captains of the
third class
