Book Description

Navy Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery to the Secretary of the Navy: For the Fiscal Year 1910 It is gratifying to report that the department's plan of assigning a hospital steward to each of the large destroyers has been a success, and the experience so far indicates that these men are doing good work and have demonstrated their usefulness as a art of the com plement. It is believed that a hospital apprentice, rst class, should be assigned to each of the smaller torpedo crafts, which opinion seems to be generally shared by the commanding officers of these vessels.
