In its construction, a ship or vessel, like a building, is started on its foundation and carried through to completion by the fitting and securing of its many parts together to form a designed shape. The Design Division of the Bureau of Ships assisted in compiling and revising the material. The materials developed in the courses of instruction for "in-service" training at the Navy Yards, Mare Island, Philadelphia, and Boston, have been used in the preparation of this book. It is believed, however, that it will be found useful for reference purposes by engineers, draftsmen, inspectors, and others interested in the construction of naval vessels. "Nomenclature of Naval Vessels" has been prepared primarily for use in the apprentice schools at the various navy yards and stations. However, in reprinting this pamphlet it has been revised to make it more complete, and to include the charts of ships' section which were developed at the Navy Yard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The requirements of navy yards and stations, private shipbuilding plants and vocational defense training schools for NOMENCLATURE OF NAVAL VESSELS, in connection with their training programs, have exhausted the first edition.
