Kit# 9777 - Petty Officer
| Valiant Miniature Kit# 9777 - Petty Officer, Continental Navy American Revolution 1776. The tiny Continental Navy did not have to resort to the press gangs of her gargantuan British adversary, and her seamen were generally better motivated if not better trained. POs were promoted from the ranks to command gun crews on the deck and the sailing parties aloft. Their dress differed little from that of the seamen, which in turn differed little from that of their civilian counterparts. |
Kit is recommended for ages 8+
