About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...question of speed, which is the gallant Admiral's second element of force, I disagree with him entirely in his rather looking down on speed. In the old days when you fought a ship, the sailor was the man--you thought nothing about the gunner; it was said any fool can fire a gun; but the clever man was the man who put the ship in the best position to fire the gun, by his knowledge of the wind and its effect on the canvas--the man who could keep the weather gauge, and knew how to hold it, was the man who had the best chance of winning the action. Now, what has it come to? Speed is the weather gauge. In other words, speed enables you (if you know how to use it) to put yourself in the best position of advantage for winning the action. Therefore speed is a complete essential to give you a reasonable chance of winning against equally clever and experienced men. With regard also to the question of speed--and it touches the displacement--you cannot get speed without having big engines and big boilers. In the old days, how did we build the ship--when steam began? We did not consult the engineers, but we took a battleship, and said she is to have so much buoyancy, and her displacement is to be so much. Now let us set to work and find out what we shall put in her. First of all, think of the guns. Think of the ammunition, and then of the armour, and then of stowage for the men and all the stores, and then whatever space is over we will give it to the engineer, and tell him to put his boiler and engines in. That is a positive fact. The result was that the engines were always breaking down, they were too small, because the space allowed for them was not big enough. We are now doing exactly the opposite. We are taking a very much larger space, or taking the space requisit...
