But Perry couldn't help but lectured Vanderbilt, blaming Vanderbilt for not rashly taking members of the Qing Dynasty's mission to the United States on a voyage.

Baltimore is the closest and most important large naval base to Washington, the capital of the United States.

Baltimore is to the United States what Port Arthur and Weihaiwei are to the Qing Dynasty.

After the Second War of Independence, the United States learned its lesson and spent huge sums of money to expand the Baltimore Military Port to ensure the security of its capital, Washington.

In the Baltimore military port, there are five large ships of over 1,000 tons parked. These ships are the main battleships of the U.S. Navy. Perry's ship, the USS Mississippi, is also among them.

In addition to five large ships of over 1,000 tons, there are also several small ships ranging from four to five hundred tons to seven or eight hundred tons in the port.

The U.S. Navy is well-trained, at least the U.S. Navy in Baltimore Naval Port is like this.

The sailors wearing straw hats to protect themselves from the sun looked curiously at the Polaris that had just been towed into the Baltimore Naval Port. However, they were quickly reprimanded by the officers and returned to their respective posts honestly.

Those who scrubbed the deck continued to rub the deck with stones, those who cleaned the guns continued to clean the guns, those who replaced the sails continued to replace the sails, and those who inspected the steam turbine continued to inspect the steam turbine. Everyone performed their duties.

Everything in the military port was very orderly. Even the sailors who were not on duty and on shore leave with their collars open did not cause trouble in the port.

Perry is in charge of the Baltimore Naval Port. It is expected that Perry is very good at running the military and can make these sailors and naval officers obedient.

At this time, the U.S. Navy had not yet expanded its force. Although it was small in size, it was superior in quality and they were all professional soldiers.

These U.S. Navy soldiers and officers in the Baltimore Naval Port must be the cream of the U.S. Navy.

Due to the small size of the navy and the small number of people, the uniforms of the American navy before the Civil War were still very exquisite. Even ordinary soldiers could wear well-sewn dark blue sailor uniforms, beautiful dark blue trousers, and a pair of leather shoes.

.

The uniforms of naval officers above petty officers are the same as those of ordinary sailors, except that there are golden piping at the seam of the trousers. The thicker the piping, the higher the military rank.

This is just their casual clothes. Liang Yao heard that ordinary navy officers wear expensive tuxedos as military uniforms.

This alone is enough to make his colleagues in the Army envious.
