The Bluejacket's Manual is a publication designed to inform new United States Navy recruits on naval procedures and life. [US Naval Institute [http://www.usni.org/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=425] ] Since 1902, it has acted as a 'bible' to sailors, providing information about various topics. [The Bluejacket's Manual (23rd Edition)]

History

The Bluejacket's Manual was first written in 1902 by Lt. Ridley McLean and has been updated over its 100 year life. Written to teach new naval recruits and offer a reference material to active sailors, the publication offered a wealth of knowledge for young and old. Sometime after World War I, however, the title was changed from the singular possessive form to a plural possessive form of "Bluejackets"'. After several decades of updates and revisions, the Manual was given its original title back under the singular possessive "Bluejacket's".

Centennial (23rd) Edition Changes

In the 2002 Centennial Edition, technically the 23rd, several modifications were made, these include the title revert. In addition, a chapter was added covering 'Naval Missions and Heritage'. The periodic updates were included in respect to the changed world as well as the expansion of the 'Navy Education and Training' chapter.
