To men who will go down to the sea in shipsn a knowledge of basic seamanship is fundamental. Al- though some seamanship skills can be mastered only from long experience at sea, the foundations upon which these skills are based form an important part of recruit training. Emphasis here is placed upon teaching the recruit the language of the sea and the names and uses of the tools of his new trade. Among the subjects taught to the recruit are mar- linspike seamanship and knot tying, steering and sounding, anchoring and mooring, and the recogni- tion of various types of ships, their characteristics and structures. He learns the principles of shipboard organization and something of the role he will later play as a member of his ship's company. He receives practical instruction in the use of the sound-powered telephones by means of which personnel stationed in various parts of his ship may communicate with each other. To facilitate practical demonstrations of these sub- jects the USS RECRUIT, an almost full-scale model of a destroyer escort was constructed on shore for use by recruits. On board this land-locked ship practical exercises are held in stationing personnel for getting underway and in anchoring, thehandling of mooring lines, the manning of 'watch-and battle stations. Small boat drills are conducted the year around. Each recruit receives practical experience' in pulling an oar in a whaleboat and learns how these boats are lowered, hoisted and secured on board ship. Inter-company boat racing is an important part of the Recruit Brigade competition, and competition' among the leading boat crews 'during each Satur- day morning,s race is keen. By the time he completes recruit training the re- cruit will have learned many of the fundamentals of seamanship which will stand him in good, stead on board ship. AAA Wt
