BEST RECORD EVER MADE
TARGET PRACTICE OF BATTLE
SHIPS OF ATLANTIC FLEET.

The Navy Department has made pub
lie a synopsis OF the reports OF tho
target practice by the battleshlps OF
the Atlantic fleet. which practice was
had under battle conditions. The re-
suits were the best ever attained In
the navy under similar Conditions. and
1t Is announced that the general effect
has greatly encouraged all officers con-
nected with the firing. They spent
months OF patient hard work in pre-
pairing for this battle practice. The
statement follows:
The older ships alabama and kear-
sarge classes) began firing at about
5000 yards go statute miles,. and
finished about 1000 yards a miles).
The Maine and Virginia classes fired at
from about $500 to 1900 yards, and
the Connecticut class at from about
400 to 5000 yards (5.3 miles). The
ships steamed past the target and
opened fire two minutes after the tar
get was abeam. and continued firing
for eight minutes with all guns.
such target practices are very i'm
pressive, and the ships present fine
spectacle when thus employing all their
gunpowder. The practice was very sat
isfactory, as shown by the percentages
made by the Atlantic fleet These
were surprisingly large, ana may DO
summarized as follows:
"All 12-inch and 13-inch guns aver
aged 3O.7 per cent of hits, S-inch guns
averaged p per cent. and 5-inch. 8-inch
and finch averaged IS per cent. Out
of twelve battleships firing, put three
made low scores, less than Is per cent,
with Pinch and 13-inch guns. the re-
naming nine ships making from 20
to 81 per cent Of hits. With S-inch
guns. three ships made from to ~
per cent. the remainder making from
81 to 81 per cent. All the above per-
centages include the ranging shots used
for determining the distance from the
target. II these shots are eliminated
the percentage OF hits of the remaining
shots, which represent the real battle
efficiency would be much higher.
The smaller guns (6-inch. etc.) were
fired at the same range as the heavy
guns, and the results showed that these
guns are of practically no use as battle
weapons at such ranges.
The target used was rectangular
piece of canvas thirty feet high by
sixty feet wide Had the target been
as large as the profile of battleship
II is estimated that at least twice al
many hits would have been made"
