    The words ``vessels of the Navy'' are substituted for the words ``of 
the public armed vessels''. The words ``actual'', ``in his opinion'', 
and ``by the nature of the service'' are omitted as surplusage. The 
words ``in reserve'' are substituted for the words ``to be laid up in 
ordinary in convenient ports'' to conform to modern terminology.
