No. 208. |
[1st Session. |
NAVAL STORES AND MUNITIONS.
COMMUNICATED TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MARCH 4, 1822.
Mr. McLane, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, to whom was referred the subject of naval stores and munitions of war appertaining to the Naval Department, by a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 10th of December last, reported:
That they have instituted an inquiry into the state and condition of the navy ordnance and ordnance stores, and herewith submit a schedule, marked A, embracing a full statement thereof.
The whole of the ordnance embraced in this paper is reported to be in good condition, excepting only such as is noted to be otherwise; but it is represented to the committee that but few if any of these guns, excepting those procured under the act for the gradual increase of the navy, are of the most approved kind for ships of war, and many of them would be rejected for sea service by any experienced officer.
