ly in damage done to men-of-war and
merchant vessels; potentially by their
reputation and menace, governing and
checking dispositions and plans and
exercising an unending nightly strain
on the officers and men of the opposing
fleet
The ordinary range of torpedo boat
work is limited to the distance that can
be steamed during the hours of dark
ness to and from protected limits.
The effective distance for extraordi
nary work depends on the nature of
the base. From a shore base, for an
attack on a harbor, the distance is the
full speed of the boat during the hours
of darkness to the harbor. With Il
protecting cruiser as escort the distance
is the coal endurance at the desired
speed. For a blockade the tire of
blockade is the coal capacity at eco
nomicaI speed, less twice the coal con-
sumption to and from the base.
In conclusion, the method of attack
by a torpedo boat should be considered
