tensive knowledge of naval affairs,
says the great battle ships of England
look more formidable than they are,
and that their crews are insufficient in
numbers and training. If this is true,

memory of Trafalgar and Nelson will
serve France a wiser purpose than any
paragement of the enormous fleets

untried for many years.
