Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1891 An attack having been decided upon, and the force of the enemy being equal to ours, what point of his line shall we attack? There are many different situations which may arise that will require each a di erent answer. If the enemy should be formed in column, par ticularly if he shows signs of intending to ram, the head of the column would seem the best point upon which to concentrate the fire of the vessels, for, by disabling the leader or leaders, the column would be thrown into disorder. As in all cases when it has been decided to bring the enemy to close quarters, if he is determined to charge through and try the ram, we must present our bows, and cannot pre vent his using the ram, so in this case we must endeavor so to set the course of our eet as to cause him to charge through at or near our center. This will give our vessels all along the line the best Opportunity to fire at the leading vessels of his column, and should he be able to pierce our line near either ank he might be able to detach and destroy the anking vessels. He should never be allowed when in82 fleet tactics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute  1895  Vol  21  Classic Reprint

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1895, Vol. 21 The first steam tactics prepared for the student in the art Of war were mainly drawn from studies Of tactics under sail, the necessary modifications being made to suit the change in motive power. It was evident that many of the Old rules still applied; that the uncertainty produced by being obliged to rely upon the wind having been eliminated, it became possible to be more exact in the performance of manoeuvres and more regular in formations. TO concentrate a large portion Of your force on a small portion Of the enemy's was still the thing for which to strive and more than ever likely to bring success. As sail was partially a source Of reliance, injury to the engines was not entirely fatal; and the knowledge Of how to handle a Vessel under sail was a necessity. The facility with which vessels could be handled under steam and the ease with which concentration could be accomplished gave them such an immense superiority over vessels dependent upon sail alone that it caused sails to fall gradually into disuse. Superiority in speed and in handiness were still elements Of advantage that facilitated the following Of the tactical rule Of concentration. The improvements now came so rapidly, and the differences between the new and the Old weapons became so great that the minds Of naval men were unsettled. It became difficult to draw any analogy between an Old fleet and one of modern times. The tactical relations between the various weapons and between the different types Of Ships were constantly changing, and it was difficult, if not impossible, to estimate the tactical values Of these varying quantities. Each tactician had his favorite weapon and favorite type Of ship, and used a few facts and many suppositions to support his theory. Armor was placed in all positions, guns Of many calibres were carried, vessels were built Of all sizes and carried weapons Of various kinds, and the kinds of powder and projectiles supplied were no less numerous. Some tacticians relied on ramming, some upon torpedoes, and some upon the use Of guns as the principal weapons, putting the others in the background as auxiliaries.
