DJ worn & stained: wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations. Tables. Appendix A: Commandants of the Navy Yard Since Its Organization in 1799. Appendix B: Vessels Build by the Washington Navy Yard. This volume is an account of 150 years of shipbuilding and ordnance development at the Washington Navy Yard. It is a history of what was once the largest naval ordnance plant in the world. Ordnance makes it possible for the Navy to accomplish its primary mission. Ordnance is, in a sense, the Navy's reason for being. The division of function between shipbuilding and the manufacture of naval ordnance existed at the Navy Yard from the very first. Because of the nature of this book, it was deemed appropriate to have forewords written by two outstanding naval officers who have been closely associated with naval ordnance and the Naval Gun Factory throughout their distinguished careers. Admiral Claude C. Block was Commandant of the Navy Yard as well as having served as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet. Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, was Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance during the crucial period immediately preceding the outbreak of World War II and during the first years of the conflict. He also commanded Gunfire Support Forces at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He was in command of Joint Task Force One which conducted the Atomic Bomb Tests in Operation Crossroads at Bikini. More
