Fleets, FiotilIas, squndrons.

E. NJ f., in New York Sun.
The terms fleet, flotilla and squadron seem
to be regarded as identical by the average
layman.
A fleet is composed of twelve battle ships.
A mosquito fleet is composed of twelve or
more small boats.
squadron is composed of less than
twelve battle ships, and is often part of a
fleet, such as the van, center, or rear squad
ron.
A ffotilla is composed of twelve or more
men-of-war, some or which may be battle
ships
Hence the United States has no fleet; nei-
ther has Spain.
Admiral Dewey commands a squadron.
Almirante Montejo also commands a
squadron.
Acting Admiral Sampson commands 40
tilla.
Almirante Cervera and Almirante Camara
each command squadron.
