Shores of tripoli
| Морской словарь |
During the first barbary war, u.s. naval agent william eaton determined to seize the fortified city of derna. his force consisted of lieutenant presley o’bannon’s marine detachment of a sergeant and six privates, supplemented by midshipman george mann with four bluejackets, plus ninety arab cavalry, about a hundred nondescript egyptian mercenary infantry, sixty-seven “christian adventurers,” and a few greek “cannoniers” equipped with an ancient field gun. on 26th april 1805, after a grueling 600 mile (960 km) march across the libyan desert, eaton posted the arabs on the shoreward side of the city, called for supporting fire from the usn brigs argus, hornet, and nautilus, and ordered o’bannon to attack. the ancient field gun was put out of action when its over-excited gunners shot away their only ramrod, and, without close fire-support, o’bannon’s attack stalled. eaton rushed forward with the reserves, and together they renewed the assault, but eaton was wounded and had to fall out. then, as he later reported: mr o’bannon, accompanied by mr mann of annapolis, urged forward with his marines (and) greeks ... passed through a shower of musketry ... took possession of the battery, planted the american flag upon its ramparts, and turned its guns upon the enemy.... a little after four o’clock we had compleat possession of the town. for six weeks, eaton’s motley force withstood massive attempts to retake the city. in recognition of this achievement, united states marine officers and ncos were “authorized to carry swords of the mameluke pattern.” they proudly added “the shores of tripoli” to the corps’ colors and, later, to its hymn (see march music). but president thomas jefferson ungraciously disavowed eaton’s contribution, and blocked o’bannon’s captaincy, leading him to resign his commission. later he was honored by having three destroyers named after him—dd-177 (1919), dd-450 (1942) and dd-987 (1978).

Lieutenant, английский
[1] a deputy or substitute (latin locum tenens = in place of ). [2] a junior naval or military officer. [3] used in combination with another military title denotes an officer of the next lower rank (e.g., lieutenant-general). this is one of the oldest military titles, and in naval use can be traced back to the twelfth century when a sailing master had full command of the ship, while the captain was responsible for embarked soldiers, with a non-commissioned lieutenant as his military deputy. by about 1580 the captain had assumed command of the ship, with the master as a subordinate responsible for shiphandling and navigation. the lieutenant was expected to replace the captain in case of death or incapacitation, but was still non-commissioned, being appointed with no official rank. some 50 years later, naval lieutenants had evolved beyond their purely military role to become professional commissioned sea officers. in about 1677, shortly after his appointment as secretary of the admiralty, samuel pepys introduced formal examinations which had to be passed to qualify for a third lieutenant’s commission. thereafter advancement depended entirely on seniority. third and second lieutenants each had specific shipboard duties in addition to their prime responsibilities of standing watch and commanding a division of guns in battle (see separate entry for first lieutenant). in the days of rated warships, a first-rate normally carried seven to nine lieutenants (one first, one or two seconds, and five or six thirds). the complement diminished with the vessel’s rating (for example a third-rate had five lieutenants, while a sixth rate had only two). nowadays, a naval lieutenant is senior to lieutenant (jg) or sublieutenant, and junior to lieutenant commander. at its inception in 1775, the continental navy essentially adopted the then current royal navy rank structure, including that of lieutenant (see table 15). an army or marine lieutenant is senior to second lieutenant and junior to captain. pronunciation is loo-tenant in america. until world war ii all british commonwealth navies said let-enant, but the influx of temporary non-career officers overwhelmed that tradition and substituted the army’s lef-tenant, the former pronunciation being retained only by the canadian armed forces maritime command. lieutenant-at-arms: formerly, a warship’s most junior lieutenant, responsible for assisting the master- at-arms in training seamen to handle small arms.

Midshipman, английский
- 1. during the 17th century, a naval rating for an experienced seaman.
- A naval cadet appointed by the admiralty, with the exception of one in each ship appointed by the captain. no person can be appointed midshipman until he has served one year, and passed his examinations; nor a lieutenant without having previously served six years in the royal navy as midshipman, and having further passed two severe examinations—one in seamanship and one in gunnery. a midshipman is then the station in which a young volunteer is trained in the several exercises necessary to attain a knowledge of steam, machinery, discipline, the general movements and operations of a ship, and qualify him to command.
- Formerly, a senior petty officer belonging to a group from which commissioned officers would be chosen. so-called because they berthed amidships, between the crew who berthed forward and the commissioned officers who lived aft. to be rated midshipman, a candidate had to have served at least two years at sea, either before the mast or as a captain’s servant, the latter position being reserved for “young gentlemen” with patronage connections. after a minimum of six years of sea service a midshipman could take the examination for third lieutenant, but might have to wait many more years before a vacancy arose. thereafter advancement depended entirely on seniority (see also master’s mate). during the napoleonic wars midshipmen tended to fall into three distinct categories: • well-connected teenage “gentlemen,” confidently expecting to pass the lieutenant’s examination and be commissioned. • ambitious but embittered 30–40 year-olds, who had either repeatedly failed that exam or, worse, had passed but lacked the essential patron. • hard-bitten professional seamen, promoted from the lower deck and not expecting to go further. nowadays it is the rank of the most junior british naval officer, equivalent to u.s. ensign but not commissioned and classified as “subordinate officer.” the rank insignia, which originated in 1758, is a white collar patch that some say can be traced all the way back to roman times when a white toga was the badge of aspirants to higher office. in the united states the title refers to members of the naval reserve officer training corps at a u.s. university and to students at the u.s. naval and merchant marine academies. navy regulations give them an ambiguous status, saying “midshipmen are, by law, officers in a qualified sense” (author’s emphasis). see also passed midshipman and aviation midshipman.
