About this title

Synopsis

The inheritance that the officers and men of the Fleet have received from the past is expressed in many forms. Particularly is it expressed in the ceremony, tradition, nautical, customs, distinctive dress, insignia, and peculiarities of speech that set the Navy man apart from his fellow warriors. A better knowledge of the origin of these traditions and customs is of real value not only to the Navy man but to anyone interested in the naval service. This book is a repository of such knowledge. Both the informative text and the excellent illustrations of Mr. Windas' book provide a wealth of authoritative information in a highly palatable form.
