will later be brought To Chesapeake
bay To conduct firings against the san
Marcos, formerly the Texas, which

vious target practice.
The main object of these expert
ments will De to ascertain just at how
long ranges the main batteries of our
ships can be fired and make a rea-
sonable number OF hits-ln other
words. at what distance from an enc
my's ship 1t would be worth while to
open fire. The tweave-inch guns have
a range from $4,000 to $4,000 yards,

have influence on the direction OF
movement of the proJectile which can
not be allowed for by the gunners.
In target practice. effective flrings
have been conducted at ranges up to
1880 yards. The Delaware will fire
at ranges between this and $4,000
yards and during some of the work all
ten of the 12-inch guns will be fired
in broadside. The Delaware will also
conduct practice at night with the sec
ondary battery Stimulating repulse Of
torpedo craft, both with and without
the employment of searchlights. Each
vessel has been ordered to make two
such targets. A special mount for
thirteen-inch guns on some of the
ships has been provided, i'm order that
the guns may be sufficiently elevated
for training against an object high in
the air. These guns will be fired dur
ing the experiments. and squads of
men using the small arm will also fire.
