SEAMANSHIP T O MEN WHO WILL go down to the sea in ships a knowledge of basic seamanship is fundamental. Although some seamanship skills can be mastered only from long expe- rience 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 ofthe sea and the names and uses ofthe tools ofhis new trade. Among the subjects taught to the recruit are marlinspike seamanship and knot tying, steering and sounding, anchoring and mooring, and the recognition of various types of ships, their characteristics and structures. He learns the principles of shipboard organization and something ofthe role he will later play as a member of his shipls company. He receives practical instruction in the use of the sound-powered telephones by which personnel stationed in various parts of a ship may com- municate with each other. To facilitate practical demonstrations of these subjects the RECRUIT, a scale model of a destroyer escort, was construc- ted on shore for use by recruits. On board this landlocked ship practical exercises are held in stationing personnel for getting underway and anchoring, the handling of mooring lines, the manning of watch and battle stations. By the time he completes recruit training the recruit will have learned many of the fundamentals of seamanship which will stand him in good stead on board ship.
