This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1893, Vol. 19 How ready, all this time, the country really was to respond to an intelligent presentation of the necessities of a navy, has been shown by the liberal appropriations, and yet more by the liberal expres sions of men of all parties and shades of opinion despite this be ing a time, in which, until very lately, party divisions turned more on tradition than on living issues. What stopped advance was not the unwillingness of the country, but the cry of Obsolete Yet in what other practical walk of life is advance thus conditioned P What technical calling refuses to make a step forward, because the ground it reaches to-day will be abandoned to-morrow? Who would ever dream of saying that iron rails are Obsolete, in the sense that they are of no use at all, because steel rails are found to be better? And finally, before quitting the subject, what is the last, and, in my judgment, most rational, expression of foreign profes sional opinion concerning these so-called Obsolete ships Simply, yet most significantly, this: That the nation which, in the later stages of a war, be it long or short, when the newest ships have received their wear and undergone their hammering, the nation which then can put forward the largest reserve of Ships of the Older types, will win the struggle.
