most probable enemies have in their

calls for building some ships of all
classes and designing and constructing
them little swifter. stauncher and
more powerful than those which they
may be called upon to engage.
Then with the proper proportion of
such ships at hand. if fully manned by
well disciplined men and officers of
suitable training and experience, the
fleet will be efficient, and its power
will be limited only by it's numbers.
But it is plain that while paper ships
