This organization was taken over by the Government in the winter Of 1916-17 and re named the Naval Reserve. It comprises four classes, the first of which contains former officers and men of the navy who enlist to serve With the ?eet, and is called the Fleet Naval Reserve. In the second the men enlist to serve in any capacity on naval vessels which are not of the ?eet, and it consists of the former naval militia and certain other categories. The third class is called the Naval Auxiliary Reserve, and serves on transports, supply ships, colliers, cargo ships, etc. The fourth class formerly consisted of a coast patrol.
