ut may be said that it is shown that
we may, IL we choose, build battle
ships, with respect to their turrets, in
this manner, but the vital question Is:
Do we want to or is it desirable so to
doP There will always be difference
OF opinion on this point.
THE question, therefore, whether or
not the system OF superimposed tur-
