It covers the Navy's fighting men - sailors and Marines - and the correct use of their weapons and firearms. There are chapters on rifle, manual and platoon exercises; the forming up of a shore company and light infantry movements. Their Lordships have even borrowed an extract from the Army's Musketry Instruction manual on target drill and practice. There are additional chapters on cutlass exercises; and on training with the pike, pistol and bayonet. A concluding chapter deals with the use of 12- and 24-pdr howitzers and other field artillery pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e The Admiralty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847348475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847348470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.38d","brand":"The Admiralty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190835114239,"sku":"9781847348470","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e99972bb-9107-4e91-ae83-55c7ed5c9c7a.jpg?v=1690872634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/instructions-for-the-exercise-of-the-admiralty-9781847348470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
