Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of the Navy, 1896: Being Part of the Message and Documents Communicated to the Two Houses of Congress at the Beginning of the Second Session of the Fifty-Fourth Congress When the above extract was written the work of reconstructing our Navy was in its earliest infancy.
