APPENDIX A.
ALLOWANCE OF CREWS:
Embracing Officers and all others to be allowed each Vessel of the Navy, whatever may be her class, kind, or armament.
The number of men assigned in each case will be found adequate to man properly the battery, and also the Powder Division,
together with the divisions of the Master and Surgeon.
DIRECTIONS.
1. Take from Table I., columns 3 or 4 (either or both, as the case may happen to require), the number of hands designated for each kind or class of gun the vessel may carry, and multiply these figures respectively by the number of guns of each kind to which they refer. In this way is to be obtained the aggregate number of hands necessary to man properly the battery itself. Call the result A.[1]
2. Then, in order to get at the additional number of hands necessary to man properly the powder division and the divisions of the Master and Surgeon, which additional number is to be called B, multiply A by the decimal—
| SAILING VESSELS. | .25 for a sailing vessel carrying on 3 decks from 74 to 90 guns. |
| .29 for a sailing vessel carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns. | |
| .34 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 or 2 decks from 20 to 26 guns. | |
| .36 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 16 to 20 guns medium of calibre. | |
| .60 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 14 to 18 guns light of calibre. | |
| .34 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 9 to 7 guns heaviest of calibre. | |
| .40 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 6 to 5 guns heaviest of calibre. | |
| .50 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 4 to 3 guns heaviest of calibre. | |
| .70 for a sailing vessel carrying on 1 decks from 2 to 1 guns heaviest of calibre. | |
| STEAMERS. | .25 for a steamer carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns, with broadside-guns onupper deck lighter than those on the other. |
| .22 for a steamer carrying on 2 decks from 36 to 60 guns, with broadside-guns onupper deck as heavy as those on the other. | |
| .34 for all other steamers, including iron-clads. | |
In the case of a sailing vessel, about one-third of B will be the proportion of hands to be taken for the Master's division, and the rest, less those for the Surgeon's division (which is to be composed of the surgeon's steward and the nurses allowed), will be the number for the powder division.
