NAVAL GUNS.
A VERY SERIOUS INDICTMENT.”
(By Lieut. Carlyon Balloirs, R.N., iy
Commercial Intelligance.)
The recall of the battleships of the China fest is the best thing that the Admiralty have done for a long time. The idea of these ships, į: five of them with rzḍnches guns that could not live half through a naval action, preparing to meet a foreign flast a few months ago, in a very monifying one. With that foreign fleat a fow | days": from... Hongkong the "Glory"; and
"Albion" were awaiting to shift radiach guns- which had already given cut at target practice, and did so seven days after the telegraphed report of the Russian fleet's arrival. A few weeks later more 12-inch guns wart shifted from other battleships. That those events should be taking place in April and May whom the Admiralty knew in December of the proved loafficiency of ra•luch mark VIII, in one of. the saddest revelations 1 knew of official fu.
competence. I say proved Inefficiency be cause the target practice of the "Ma Jestic* in December, when one gun blew. a bit of its muzzle off after firing on full charge, another cracked its inner tube after firing only one full charge, and a third showed every sign- of a choked bore after firing only one full charge, seems to me pretty conclusive proof, though many others, exist. Later: in May-a naval battle was fought which showed that four heavy guns of a battleship might be called upon to fire wall-over a hundred full charges in a single battle. In the shifting of the "Gloryla" gun a further revelation of almost inconceivable inefficiency took place. That big guns will be so wom after a naval battle- that they will have, to be changed le a thing a schoolboy understands. A hit on the male. of a 13-inch gun from a small gun of ball lis calibre is quite enough to put it out of action. Therefore, the problem of shifting these guns is the most important one an Admiralty has to work out, for it is far more important to follow up a blow in war, by taking the sea with `vigour recowed, than to obtain the first blow- which we have been hearing ad nauseam, an though the present Board of Admiralty had discovered a new policy.
Now to change guns after a battle we`must- provide a reserve of guns, and we must see that the dockyards think out the methods of shifting these heavy weights. Admiralty did neither, though as regards the first they had the example of our Japaness allies, who before the war, ac cording to the Times" correspondent, provided

heavy guns for each of their battleships. Last August the Admiralty knew the state to which the naval battle of August roth has reduced the then armament of the four Japanese battleships; for wo had a british naval captain on board the Japanese Augship. As regarda shifting the guns, it was not until four weeks after this step had been decided upon in the case of the "Glory" that a private company, the Hong kong Dack Company, came to the rescue, and by rigging temporary sheers under their own powerful ones'accomplished the evolution." Ima“ ine such a delay of four weeks in war over a change which actually commenced only, took two and a half hours What I conlend is that this wickedly careless method of not allempting to think out such a problem in advanca is similar to the one, that has induced us to dis- penia with an adequate reserve of guns for the fests, and similar again to the refusal resolutely to face the fact that we want 12-luch guns of the "Majestic" and "Glory" classes for battle. and not target practice.
Now, as to the cost of re-arming these ships.. If we were to re-arm the ships with 12-inch mark IX. gun, each gun would cost £9,800, but the mountings would not bo strong.en augh.
