ANCIENT SHIPS IN BATTLE.
Methods of Fighting Employed and
Arms and Equipment of the
Roman Fleets.

Lieutenant Commander Roy C.
smith. U. S. N. naval attache to the
United States embassy to France, is
he author of an extremely interest
ng article in the North American Re-
view entitled An Untechnical View of
Warfare In warfare, at all times.
oy land or sea, the eternal principles
are the same. The supreme necessity
to be superior to the enemy at the
point of contest, whether in numbers,
weapons or position, and the purpose
ot the science of war is to effect this
superiority. Commander Smith fol-
ows cut these elementary principles
n their application to land and naval
warfare, furnishing Illuminating illus
rat1ons Of the variation in tactics and
N strategy necessitated by the diff
erent conditions of different ages. In
describing the methods of fighting i'm
posed upon the fleets of ancient Rome
oy the nature of the construction of
<he galleys and the character of the
power by which they were propelled
le says:
The boats, or galleys, carried fight
ng men as we'll as oarsmen. These
we're armed with missile weapons of
Tarlous sorts, as we'll as the usual
sword and shield. In the bows of the
boats were often found war engines,
such as the ballista, or catapult The
boat was also provided with beak
)r ram. Next, as to mass The in
iividual units or boats had to be suf-
fciently large to carry a number Of
lighting men, but they were limited in
size by the method of construction and
he material, wood for the greater part,
As we'll as by the necessities of oar
propulsion. The motion was compare
lively rapid at top speed, for by long
raining the OarSmen we're enabled to
exert tremendous power for hours
at stretch. The resistance of the
Dattle unit, composed of the boat and
ner crew. depended mostly on the life
OF the boat; for the fighting men dill
not differ materially from foot SOL
diers on shore. protected by helmet
and shield. The boat had an excess
of longitudinal strength, but was
weak transversely.
From these considerations it would
seem that the tactics would be 10
fight bows on, and to take the enemy
IN flank. This would permit the devel-
opment of the full offensive power OF
the catapult and ram, would retire it's
own weak flank, and seek eventually
to pierce the enemy's flank AS the
motive power was self-contained. swift
and skillful combinations could be
made to bring about bow to flank
attack, and the enemy's motive power
could be deranged by sweeping along
his side, with suddenly boated oars
and so chopping off the blades of the
opposing oars. Once in contact, pro-
vided neither boat sunk, a hand-t0-
hand battle would ensue, and the bes:
crew would win. But the result would
usually be brought about by ramming
following a surprise attack or skillfuJ
maneuvering. These tactics are de-
/ rived from simple consideration OF
the elements as they were at the
time"
