FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY
Ranuming Another Ship.
By LIEUTENANT FITZHUGH GREEN, L. $. y.

OF thirty-two ships that were
, rammed while they had plenty Of sea
room 10 Side-step IN twenty-six came
through unscathed. only five were
slightly damaged; and but single one
received serious injury. The point was
Of course that good man can almost
always present the side Of his vessel to
the ramming enemy in such a way
that only a glancing blow will be
struck. Of the % ships rammed in
not shift quickly enough nine received
no damage, nine were slightly banged
up, and nine were sunk. The other five
were seriously disabled but not put
entirely out Of action.
We see then that even with every
thing on the side of the Billy Goat
there's a pretty fair chance that the
attacked ship will come through scot
free.
Now have a look at the attacker. In
seventy-six cases. Sc only ScraDed
Off paint Nearly twenty were dam
aged and at least one sunk So the
fellow carrying the balf hasn't
much better chance Of keeping out OF
trouble that the one he's chaging into.
Another bunch of ramming combats
was worked up to show even a more
even break between the two ships.
For instance, out of a hundred cases
where rs per cent of the rammed YES
sells survived without scars, only 81
per cent of the rammed craft were as
lucky Exactly the same numbers
per cent Of each-were damaged
Only when the enemy is at the dis
advantage Of not having room TO move
about in and meet the attack properly
does this method Of disposing OF an
antagonist pay dividends There are
times Of course as in every other game
when il is to one sides gain to trade
equally. 4 good example is Hobson's
exploit at Santiago where he would
have been very glad to ram and sink
not only the Spanish ship but his own
as well.
Nowadays men-of-war seldom get
close enough to ram one another. With
