Uniformly accurate fire in all en- gagements with the ships of the en- emy has, Engineering . continues, been the outstanding feature of the naval warfare, whether regard be had to such combined actions as took place in the Bight of Heligoland, off the Falkland Islands, and later on the Dogger bank, or in individual ac~ tions, where one ship had to face an- other. This accuracy of fire was in many cases associated with ranges which a few years age would have been regarded as impracticable, if not impossible. The annual returns now issued show, however, how the gunners of the navy have prepared. themselves. In the first place, there ! has been a greater -stringemcy in the test comditions. The target has' been reduced, the range increased and the speed at which firing had to take place was aagmented. The de- tails regarding these three points are not disclosed in the official return, nor is any information given as to the time allowed for the firing, . so that it is not possible to deduce the rate of hits per minute. Sufficient evidence of improvement is shown in | the percentage of hits to, rounds fired from the various types of gi in the seryice.
