海军卫生是卫生学的一个特殊部分。它是研究军舰上生活和战斗工作的条件,对於舰员的影响,研究制定为军舰和海军部队人员造成良好条件的标准和要求的科学。海军卫生的发展是和航海-海军学和造船的发展密切关联着的。在发明罗盘之前所造的船只都不大并且不能远离海岸。在刮大风的天气不能出海。船员不能住在船上,因为船上没有住宿的设备。所以在船上也没有什麽卫生问题。由於在十八世纪发明了罗盘,船只能够长时期离岸入海,并且开始建造大的海船。这种船不但是舰员的固定住所,而且还要储备大量的粮食、淡水和 Naval health is a special part of hygiene. It is a study of the conditions of life and combat work on warships, the effects on the crew, and the development of science that sets the standards and requirements for good conditions for warships and naval forces. The development of naval health is closely linked with the development of naval-naval science and shipbuilding. Before the compass was invented, the vessels were small and could not be far away from the coast. In the windy weather can not go to the sea.
