Canney's fourth book on American naval history concentrates on neglected aspects of the Civil War saga: personnel, including training, discipline, and shipboard life; the ships and their acquisition and construction; small arms, uniforms, equipment, and ship's ordnance; supply and logistics; tactics and strategy; administration and logistics; and yards and stations. In the opening chapters, he discusses the history of the service, compares it to the Confederate and other navies, and provides an overview of the associated naval forces of the conflict: the United States Revenue Marine (Revenue Service), the army's Quartermaster Department, and the Coast Survey. 10x12
