The SURCOUF submarine met disaster on the night of Feb. 18, 1942.
As a result, 130 people died. At the time, it was the worst
submarine disaster ever. But decades later, people continue to
argue about what happened to the mammoth submarine, which belonged
to the free French. Written by Capt. Julius Grigore Jr., the
foremost expert on the disaster, this scholarly work examines
details about how $245 million in gold may have played a role in
the disaster; questions about a possible double agent who may have
plotted to block the Panama Canal and blow up SURCOUF; events that
led President Roosevelt to threaten to deploy a battleship against
SURCOUF; roles that women played before and after the disaster.
Learn the real story behind one of the most misunderstood submarine
disasters in history. Written for history buffs, servicemen and
servicewomen, and anyone interested in a good mystery, "The SURCOUF
Conspiracy" examines one of the strangest submarine stories of all
time.
The United States Navy's guide to bugling remains a useful text for
aspiring players of the instrument, and for musicians considering
naval service - this edition includes every illustration and piece
of musical notation. Bugles have been an important feature in
military tradition for centuries: on the battlefield as a method of
signalling a charge or withdrawal; in the training of soldiers in
sounding the times in barracks; and as a ceremonial instrument
during military parades, celebrations, funerals and other such
events. It was the Navy's hope that many Americans - enlisted or
otherwise - would learn the bugle through this guidebook. Over 150
musical notations are printed in this book. Generally speaking,
they become more advanced in terms of phrasing and notation as the
reader proceeds through the pages. The program lays out a time
frame upon which the player should advance his abilities and
teaches the basics of musical theory such as the staves, reading
notation, and the timing of play.

1. This Motor Torpedo Boat Manual (short title--Motorprons Two)
is approved and issued to the service for use. This manual is
RESTRICTED, may be issued to officers and petty officers of the
Navy, and for instruction of naval personnel. It shall not be
carried in aircraft for use therein.
2. Although motor torpedo boats are a relatively new weapon,
considerable operating experience has been accumulated. Peacetime
operation promoted valuable experimental work and the development
of tactical, administrative, and operative procedures. Wartime
operation against the enemy in the Pacific, to date, has already
greatly added to the total experience gained. As new squadrons are
commissioned and sent to outlying bases, the importance of passing
on the benefits of operating experience to new personnel needs no
elaboration..
3. Each commanding officer shall keep a record of issue of this
manual within his command. When no longer required or when its
destruction is ordered, it shall be destroyed by burning. No report
of destruction is required.

This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual
service members. Because medical personnel will not always be
readily available, the nonmedical service members must rely heavily
on their own skills and knowledge of life-sustaining methods to
survive on the integrated battlefield. This publication outlines
both self-aid and aid to other service members (buddy aid). More
importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in
sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and
disability. First aid is the emergency care given to the sick,
injured, or wounded before being treated by medical personnel. The
term first aid can be defined as "urgent and immediate lifesaving
and other measures, which can be performed for casualties by
nonmedical personnel when medical personnel are not immediately
available." Nonmedical service members have received basic first
aid training and should remain skilled in the correct procedures
for giving first aid. This manual is directed to all service
members. The procedures discussed apply to all types of casualties
and the measures described are for use by both male and female
service members. This publication is in consonance with the
following North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) International
Standardization Agreements (STANAGs) and American, British,
Canadian, and Australian Quadripartite Standardization Agreements
(QSTAGs).
The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) was
developed for use by personnel in many electrical and
electronic-related Navy ratings. Written by, and with the advice
of, senior technicians in these ratings, this series provides
beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic concepts
through self-study. The presentation of this series is not oriented
to any specific rating structure, but is divided into modules
containing related information organized into traditional paths of
instruction. The series is designed to give small amounts of
information that can be easily digested before advancing further
into the more complex material. For a student just becoming
acquainted with electricity or electronics, it is highly
recommended that the modules be studied in their suggested
sequence.
