Accuracy of Gun 'Fire in the
British Navy. There is, of course, no informa t'on regarding the 15 in. gun, th ships carrying which have onl entered the Fleet since the wa began. The 13.5-in. gundwa used for the first time in 1912 when the perceniage of bila to rounde fired was 58 per cent In the following year this had in creased to 66.66 per cent., and in 1914 to 85.43 per cent. It mus be admitted that we have here not only evidence of the ehcindy o the gun-layer, but of the modern gaz-control system, and also o the success of the modern wespor and all the appliances placed by the manufacturer at the disposa of the gun crew. The later 12-in. gans continue to show a per centage between 52 and 55 per pent. of hits to roundé fired. The latest 6-in. breech-loading g which is extensively used in the lator battleships, also shows im provement In 1911-12 the per centage of hits to rounds fired wae Fonly 49 in 1913 it increased to 53.21, and in 1914 65 64761; abould be remembered that the larget is ero monsly smaller than would be the enemy's chip so that one can understand that if in practice, under all conditions of weather, such percentage attained, the results will be eve better in a tasl war The breech loader has also age exceeding 50 per cent. ho osne also with the quickfirer.
