Navy has had but four Fleet actions, and in each one has captured or destroyed every enemy ship. 2. No U. S. Naval ship has ever been in the hands of mutineers, while in other Navies, whole squadrons and fleets have been in the hands of mu tineers. 3. The U. S.

Navy did not lose during the entire war, 1,100 officers, sailors, and marine prisoners. 8. The U. S. Navy possesses in the Constitution frigate the greatest man-1 of-war that ever sailed the seas. She did five unprecedented things: (a) She knocked down the stone forest of Tripoli. (b) She escaped from Admiral Blake’s squadron of seven ships, after a four days’ chase without losing a gun, a boat or an anchor. (c) She defeated the Guerriere, a crack British Frigate, in seventeen minutes after firing the first broad side wrecking the Guerriers, which lost 179 men. (d) She shot every spar out of the “Java” frigate in a running fight, without taking in her royals, that is to say, licked her enemy without tak ing off her coat. () She captured the “Cyane” and “Levant” at the same time without being raked once, while every broad side she fired was a raking broadside. In addition, she ran the blockade of British ships seven times. She never lost her Commanding Officer, she never went aground, the largest number of men she ever lost in a fight was eight. She was in commission more than pight years. 9. The chest measurement of re cruits in the U. S. Navy is the largest of any Navy in the world. 10.
