What were naval men/ officers trained in, as in what manual or treaties did they study. Or was there a set doctrine?

I was a Naval Officer... no sword training for me and my friends in the wardroom. Young Naval officers have to figure out how to cut the wedding cake with the damn thing all on their own!

Instructions for Training a Ship’s Crew to the use of Arms in Attack and Defence by Lieut. William Pringle Green (1812) comes to mind.

Damn, I forgot about Green, I just recently heard of him. All this looks good. I appreciate the advice.
