SUPREMACY of the offensive power as rep
resented by gunfire. Therefore II would
seem that a comparison Of gun power
offers a fair basis upon which to estimate
the power of the several navies. and Is
accordingly made the foundation OF the
accompanying table.
The English navy boasts 30 battleships,
80 armored cruisers. 81 protected cruisers,
mounting 10 13.o-inch guns. 1866 l2-inch
guns, 20 10-inch guns, l1i 9.2-inch guns
50 7.5-inch guns. 1,5l0 6-inch guns and ''26

given calibers are practically uniform. In
the French and German ornaments it has
been found difficult to prove the totals,
as guns Of the same caliber carry many
different weights Of projectiles. This ex-
perimenting leads to conr1s1on in a gen
eral table. as a ship carrying more guns
OF a given caliber. on account Of lighter
aggregate weight of Its fire. may be rated
lower than similar ship carrying fewer
guns of a different type but OF the same
caliber. but using heavier projectile.
1t Is noticeable that the practice in the
French and German navies is to use
lighter projectiles than is the rule in the
other navies for approximately the same
calibers.
This is especially true in the case OF
French guns. but the lighter projectiles
are given slightly higher initial velocities.

the American practice with 265 pounds
weight OF projectile from the S-inch gun
However, as the air resistance varies as
the cube Of the velocity of the projectile,
the heavier shot retains greater per
centage of Its initial energy, and at 5000
to 5000 yards range the effective striking
force of the American gun is fully equal to
that of the French or German artillery.
The maximum length of guns on the
American men-of-war is 80 calibers-that
IS. the length of the rif!ed portion of the
gun :s fifty times its diameter. or, say
G-irch gun. the length Of the bore would
| be twenty-five feet, and the velocity of
| the shot slightly under 1900 feet per
second. Some of the French guns. how
ever, run up to 90 calibers in length, or
| thirty feet for G-inch gun, and have the
enormous initial velocity of nearly 1000
| feet per second.
These extremely high velocties have
| been found excessively destructive to
the guns. The intense heat of the powder
| gases at the high pressure necessary to
obtain these velocities seems to soften the
steal walls OF the rihed portion. and, rush
| ing by the projectile. the gas cuts away
ana destroys llle steer III ALMOST tUs same

So destructive il Ills erosion that the life
of gun fired at these hlgi; aressures is

endurance, probably because of the

the blast and less leakage past the pro-

| On this account the Navy Department

believes the life of the guns will be pro-

and at longer ranges the effective striking
power of shells fired from American guns
will be overcome and exceed the shells
fired at a higher initial velocity.
However as it is sometimes to ai
