Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ensign Ralph Osborn: The Story of His Trials and Triumphs in a Battleship´s Engine Room In this story, the third volume of the "Ralph Osborn" series, the life of the young officer aboard a battleship is graphically described. Ensign Osborn has finished his six years apprenticeship, four at Annapolis, and two aboard a gunboat; and now, as a commissioned officer, serves aboard a battleship. Today our Naval Officers´ time is chiefly devoted to mechanical matters. In naval warfare the coal shovel is of equal importance as the sword. This story deals with the work in a battleship´s engine and firerooms, work similar to that constantly being done by many young officers. It depicts the practical apprenticeship that naval officers undergo. The "Ralph Osborn" series gives a faithful account of the making of a naval officer from the moment he enters the Annapolis Naval Academy to the time important responsibilities have developed upon him aboard a battleship.
