The great game Of gunnery brag i
over and the authorities have thrown VI
the sponge. The Victoria's guns are &C
defective that even the British admiralty
dare not send out the ship to carry the
flag of the commander-in-chief on the
Mediterranean station. One Of the liz
ton guns is bent between the trunnion,
and the muzzle more than two and q
half inches out Of the straight line, and
the worst part of the business is that the
Victoria and her sister ship, the Sanspa
reil, will probably be hors de combat 10,
q very long time, as there is no prospec,
Of these monster 40 ton guns being Of
any use, and it will be big job to alter
the turrets TO suit smaller and more ser
viceable weapons.
The Camperdown, which has been ~
lected to take the place Of the Victoria
was supplied for the maneuvers with
three out of four guns which were de
fective. The inner tubes split during
the test, but the authorities decided r
admit it, At the conclusion of the ma
neuvers these three guns were ordered
to be returned to Woolwich, and Admiral
Rodney was requisitioned for three
others to make the Camperdown fit fol
sea. We now have of first class battle
ships ready for sea in all other respectl
the Howe, Rodney, Trafalgar, Victoris
and Sanspareil waiting for guns. IL il
