Army Within the Navy Rallyes Seamen and Marines
Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder notes each ship division carries four to five seamen battalions and one marine company with signal, pioneer, ammunition, ambulance and other detachments. A fleet of sixteen to twenty heavy ships fields a brigade of 6,000 to 7,000 trained men, including sharpshooters, plus gunboats with landing parties. Some units form field artillery with three inch guns. Vera Cruz campaigns show the value of eight weeks of camp life and rifle practice at Guantanamo. An Indianapolis News anecdote recalls Lake Manitou fishing, claiming thousands of pike and aggressive bites requiring concealment behind trees to land them.
