| merchant marine officers handbook: American Merchant Seaman's Manual William B. Hayler, 2009-07-06 The Merchant Marine is composed of all the commercial ships of a country and the personnel that man them. The American Merchant Seaman's Manual has been the primary seamanship text and reference book for the American Merchant Marine for more than sixty years. Merchant mariners going to sea for the first time need to know as much about their new job, their ship, the sea, and the Merchant Marine as they can. This manual is designed to provide the knowledge that these new seamen need to embark upon their careers at sea. Since the sixth edition was published in 1981, many changes have been made in each new printing. Changes in this new edition include: - A new chapter on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers - Data on merchant fleets throughout the world - A revised chapter on wire rope - A bibliography for sources of additional reading |
| merchant marine officers handbook: Shiphandling for the Mariner Daniel H. MacElrevey, 1995 MacElrevey's Shiphandling for the Mariner, first published in 1983, is addressed primarily to the practicing mariner who already possesses some degree of professional knowledge, experience, and training. In a nontechnical style, and with illustrations, the author stresses maneuvers routinely used by working pilots and masters, with special attention to directional stability, shallow water effects, squat, and aids such as variable pitch propulsion, electronic reference instrumentation, and tractor tugs. All maneuvers used in docking, undocking, and shiphandling in restricted waters are covered, as well as less common maneuvers: docking at single point and multiple buoy moorings, use of anchors in shiphandling, offshore lightering, and transiting of locks and canals. |

Hooyer has handled ships of all sizes through all kinds of situations. Now he shares his technical expertise in this detailed and authoritative manual. Captain Hooyer covers the various dynamics of ships moving through water, demonstrating how the forces acting on the ship will determine your approach to steering, speed, stopping, anchoring, and berthing. Chapters include The Peripatetic Pivot Point, Rudder and Propeller, Wind, Current, Narrow Channels, and more. |

| merchant marine officers handbook: Modern Marine Engineer's Manual Everett C. Hunt, Gus Bourneuf, 1999 This book is designed to serve as a textbook for students and a reference for today's engineering officers, port engineers, superintendent engineers, and other maritime professionals.

| merchant marine officers handbook: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer Department of Defense, National Defense University Press, 2020-02-10 The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9. |

| merchant marine officers handbook: Formulae for the Mariner Richard M. Plant, 2009-06-30 This book is a compilation of all the formulae that a mariner is commonly called upon to use but the exact workings of which he has perhaps forgotten. For each subject category, the author states the basic parameters in narrative form, often including a figure, graph, chart, diagram, or table, and then provides accompanying equations and their amplifications. Although some formulae that are simpler in format are propounded in other texts, many of those formulae lead to confusion in that “special rules†must be applied to them in order to obtain a correct answer. However, the rules applied to the formulae in this book work for all problems. In a great circle sailing situation, for example, the fact of whether the vertex is ahead of you or behind you does not matter—if you apply the rule(s) given in this book, you will get the correct answer. Another important feature of the book is its devotion of over ten pages of material to the international system of units (S.I.) |

The new edition has been revised throughout to take account of the latest developments up to 2000, and will be valid for many years to come. |
| merchant marine officers handbook: Ship Stabilizers W. Burger, A. G. Corbet, 2014-06-28 Ship Stabilizers: The Design and Operation in Correcting the Rolling of Ships presents the working principles and operation of various types of gyrocompasses and automatic pilots. This book discusses the fundamental principles of synchro systems and servomechanisms. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the problem of the reduction of rolling. This text then explores the means of resisting rolling, which have been used or are still being used, including bilge keels, oscillating weights, anti-rolling tanks, gyroscopic stabilizers, and tilting fin systems. Other chapters consider the anti-rolling tanks that are divided into three types, including diversified tanks, free surface tanks, and U-tube tanks. This book discusses as well the small oscillations of a vessel in still water, which are simple harmonic in character. The final chapter deals with the stabilizing gear for smaller ships. This book is a valuable resource for marine engineers and naval architects. |
