Description:Excerpt from Naval Construction: Prepared for the Use of the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy This book has been prepared at the request of the head of the Department of Marine Engineering and Naval Construction at the U.S. Naval Academy, to provide a modem text-book in the course of Naval Architecture for Midshipmen of the first class. It has been prepared with a view to the special requirements of that Institution, and as it presupposes the preliminary training in mensuration and mathematics that a Midshipman of the first class must have, a considerable portion of the matter usually found in elementary works on this subject has been omitted from the part devoted to calculations. The part devoted to practical construction has been prepared with a view to furnishing only such information as would be desirable to a line officer, and is in no sense intended as a complete treatise. Should the student desire to pursue any of the subjects further a number of references are given at the end of each chapter to works and articles treating of the subject of the chapter. In the chapter on Building, Launching, and Docking, no attempt has been made to give other than general knowledge of the methods employed. The entire book, being intended for officers of the U.S. Navy, has been based upon the practice of that service. Several subjects within the province of the naval constructor in the U. S. Naval Service have been omitted in order to prevent duplicating the Midshipmen's course of study, as the author is informed that these subjects are treated in other branches of the Department of Marine Engineering and Naval Construction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
