THE NAVY's mARKsMANsHIP.
Higher Percentage Of Hits Than For.
merly, Says Secretary 5onaparte.


The criterion OF target practice is
the actual number Of hits per min
ute" says Secretary Bonaparte, in
Harper's Weekly. Many ships now
average between IS and 90 per cent
OF hits with all their main battery
guns. whereas in former days the
percentage was rarely over 40 even
though firing slowly at a target more
than seven times as large as the pres
ent one. Then the target was 100
feet long and 25 feet high; to-day Il
is 81 feet long and - feet high This
increase In hitting ability is due to
the assiduous training in the target
practices which have been carried out
under the new system adopted and
also TO improvement In ordinance,
Going back to 1S9S. when the navy
was using black powder and when
sights and other parts of the equip
ment were poorly developed. our fir
ing was both slow and inaccurate. AT
that time IL was considered satisfac-
tory IL a l2-inch gun fired one shot
in five minutes But with each sub
sequent improvement in ordinance the
rapidity was somewhat increased.
and by carrying out systematic target
practice the present striking efficiency
has been attained. For example. the
heavy turret guns that were but a
few years aso allowed FIVE minutes
in which 70 fire. have recently fired
three shots and made three hits in
one minute"
