Chapter XXII: Appendix: A

ALLOWANCE OF CREWS:

_Embracing Officers and all others to be allowed each Vessel of the Navy, whatever may be her class, kind, or armament._

The number of men assigned in each case will be found adequate to man properly the battery, and also the Powder Division, together with the divisions of the Master and Surgeon.

DIRECTIONS.

1. Take from Table I., columns 3 or 4 (either or both, as the case may happen to require), the number of hands designated for each kind or class of gun the vessel may carry, and multiply these figures respectively by the number of guns of each kind to which they refer. In this way is to be obtained the aggregate number of hands necessary to man properly the battery itself. Call the result A.[1]

2. Then, in order to get at the additional number of hands necessary to man properly the powder division and the divisions of the Master and Surgeon, which additional number is to be called B, multiply A by the decimal--

SAILING VESSELS. .25 for a sailing vessel carrying on 3 decks from 74 to 90 guns. .29 for a sailing vessel carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns. .34 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 or 2 decks from 20 to 26 guns. .36 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 16 to 20 guns medium of calibre. .60 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 14 to 18 guns light of calibre. .34 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 9 to 7 guns heaviest of calibre. .40 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 6 to 5 guns heaviest of calibre. .50 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 4 to 3 guns heaviest of calibre. .70 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 2 to 1 guns heaviest of calibre. STEAMERS. .25 for a steamer carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns, with broadside-guns on upper deck lighter than those on the other. .22 for a steamer carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns, with broadside-guns on upper deck as heavy as those on the other. .34 for all other steamers, including iron-clads.

In the case of a sailing vessel, _about_ one-third of B will be the proportion of hands to be taken for the Master's division, and the rest, less those for the Surgeon's division (which is to be composed of the surgeon's steward and the nurses allowed), will be the number for the powder division.

And, too, in the case of a steamer of any kind, _about_ one-third of B will also be the proportion of hands to be taken for the Master's division; but the rest, less those just mentioned for the Surgeon's division, is to be increased by one-third of the number of firemen and coal-heavers allowed, to constitute the powder division.

It is to be borne in mind that the powder division is always to command a preference over the master's, on the score of being sufficiently manned.

3. Add A and B together, and call their sum C.

4. To ascertain how many of the whole number of C are to be petty officers, &c., consult Table II.

5. One-sixth part of the whole number of C will give the number of seamen.

6. One-fourth part of the whole number of C will give the number of ordinary seamen.

7. One-fortieth part of the whole number of C will give the number of musicians (exclusive of the master of the band), when musicians are allowed, which is to be only to ships-of-the-line, frigates, and flag vessels having a totality of crew amounting to not less than 350 souls.[2]

8. The total number of petty officers, &c., seamen, ordinary seamen, and musicians, deducted from the whole number of C, will give the number of landsmen and boys.

9. The number of hands, in addition to the whole number of C, to serve as firemen and coal-heavers, when these are required, is to be ascertained by the annexed rule relating to the subject.

10. For the number and grades of officers, consult Table III.

11. For the number and grades of marines, consult Table IV.

12. An admiral of any grade, when appointed as the commander-in-chief of a fleet or squadron, is authorized to nominate to the Navy Department an officer not below the grade of a commander to serve as the head of his staff, or as the captain of the fleet, and to be borne on the books of the vessel carrying his flag in addition to her established complement.

13. Every officer appointed to the command of a fleet or squadron is authorized to nominate to the Navy Department an officer not higher in grade than a lieutenant, nor lower than an ensign, to serve as his flag lieutenant, or aid, and to be borne on the books of the vessel carrying his flag or broad pennant in addition to her established complement.

14. An admiral of any grade, appointed the commander-in-chief of a fleet or squadron, is to be allowed two seamen and two ordinary seamen, to be borne on the books of the vessel carrying his flag in addition to her established complement.

15. Every other officer appointed to the command of a fleet or squadron is to be allowed one seaman and two ordinary seamen, to be borne on the books of the vessel carrying his broad pennant in addition to her established complement.

16. The number of men in any rating, as above directed, is not to be exceeded, in any case, without the authority of the Secretary of the Navy, unless it be to make good deficiencies in superior ratings; and vessels, in time of peace, when otherwise ready for sea, are not to be detained on account of deficiencies in their complements, if the whole number of petty officers and persons of inferior rating be equal to nine-tenths of the number allowed as their crews.

17. The total number of a crew, as allowed above, is never to be exceeded without the express direction or sanction of the Secretary of the Navy.

18. Complements will be designated by the Navy Department for receiving vessels, practice vessels, apprentice vessels, store and supply vessels, and for any others intended for special or peculiar service.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] NOTE 1.--Howitzers, when not really essentials of a battery, but intended rather as appendages to it for boat and field service, and for particular occasions, than to be used as commonly as the other guns of the vessel in general exercises, or in an engagement, are _not_ to be included in applying these directions. The marines and available hands of the master's division are to be kept drilled to them, for the purpose of clearing the deck of an enemy.

[2] NOTE 2.--If the number of musicians thus derived be even, one-half of them are to be of the first class, and one-half of the second class; otherwise, the bare majority are to be of the first class, and the rest of the second.
