The main difference between battle
ships and armored cruisers rests on
their relative power to hold the battle
line, but this does not mean that the
latter are deficient in fighting power
In securing intelligence of a threaten
ing enemy the observing vessels must
have strength enough to overcome hos
tile ships, to disclose the main body,
and when this is sighted to delay it's
progress until their own battleships
can reach the scene of action. 1t is
evident that only less in degree to the
