fleet shot ], 300 heavy shells during the
bombardment yesterday, Several OF
these reports say that there were ten
American armored vessels engaged in
the BON bardment
This latter statement is manlfeStly
incorrect. The armored vessels were
probably the Iowa, Massachusetts, In
diana and Oregon of battleship class,
the cruisers New York and Brooklyn.
and possibly two monitors. These YES
sells are armed with twelve 13-inch
guns in their main batteries, and the
normal supply of ammunition Is fifty
armor- piercing shells to each gun.
Assuming that all the shots fired
were from the big guns of the fleet,
this would have exhausted all of the
armor-piercing shells with the excep-
tion of about hundred. But it is
probab that the six and eight-inch
guns were classed in the reports as
"heavy."
