General, commanding the Department. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. NAVY DEPARTMENT, July 4, 1861. SIR: When the change of administration took place, in March last, the Navy Department was organized on a peace establishment. Such vessels as were in condition for service were chiefly on distant stations, and those which constituted the home squadron were most of them in the Gulf of Mexico. Congress had adjourned without making provision for any extraordinary emergency, and the appropriations for naval purposes indicated that only ordinary current expenses were anticipated. Extraordinary events which have since transpired have called for extraordinary action on the part of the government, demanding a large augmentation of the naval force, and the recall of almost the whole of our foreign squadrons for service on our own coasts. The total number of vessels in the navy, of all classes, on the 4th of March was ninety, carrying, or designed to carry, about 2,415 guns. Excluding vessels on the stocks, those unfinished, those used as stationary storeships and receiving ships, and those considered inexpedient to repair, the available force was: Of this force the following were in commission, the remainder being in ordinary, dismantled, &c. 2 frigates 11 sloops - 100 guns. - 232 do. |
