It is upon the maintenance of this control that our country s glorious future depends; the United States Navy exists to make it so. WE SERVE WITH HONOR Tradition, valor, and victory are the Navy's heritage from the past. To these may be added dedication, discipline, and vigilance as the watchwords of the present and the future. At home or on distant stations .ye serve with pride, confident in the respect of our country, our shipmates, and our families. Our responsibilities sober us; our adversities strengthen us. Service to God and Country is our special privilege. We serve with honor. THE FUTURE OF THE NAVY The Navy will always employ new weapons, new techniques, and greater power to protect and defend the United States on the sea, under the sea, and in the air. Now and in the future, control of the sea gives the United States her greatest advantage for the maintenance of peace and for victory in war. Mobility, t:urprise, dispersal, and offensive power are the keynotes of the new Navy. The roots of the Navy lie in a strong belief in the future, in continued dedication to our tasks, and in reflection on our heritage from the past. Never have our opportunities and our responsibilities been greater. 4 CONTENTS Page "AIect thc Contruction Electrician 1 2.Sakit: 12 hlu-,Trints, Diagrams, and Seh.2imit1cs 45 4.special iocls 61 Test equipment o.Control and protective equipment 123 7.Shopwork 175 s.Interior wiring 235 9.central stations 270 Ov head ,'uwei distribution 311 11.1.ncicrground power distribution 357 12.Commun1:1!ions systems. .. ......... ... 385 13.
