With reference to the article published In our last issue in which attention, is called -for the first time, we believe, in a com- parative form-to the deficiencies of our modern men-of-war in what we take the liberty of calling "end-on" fire, a word or two about the last trio of battleships turned out for the United States Navy may not be amiss. Each of these vessels is armed with four 13" guns, eight 8" guns, and four 6" guns, to say nothing of quick firers, Of these, two 13," four 8," and two 6" guns are so mounted as to fire right ahead and the balance right astern. The two 13" are mounted in a heavily armed turret right amidships, the four 8" in two turrets arranged en echelon on either side of the main turret and raised above it, and the 6" guns fire from turrets at the external angles of the central citadel. There is no vessel in our Service, at home or abroad, that can deliver, direct in the line of her movement, 40 heavy a discharge. Neither is there, we believe, in any other PRICE LISTS, with Fall Details, to be had on navy at the moment any vessels so
