What reading level is Naval Intelligence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These reflections are the outcome of a conversa- tion with one of our engineer-officers, at a time when we were watching the other ships from our quarter-deck, the ponderous battleships with all their marvellous potential speed.
He recalled to my mind the fact that when it was first suggested to build ships of iron people scoffed loudly at the idea ; iron, they said, would naturally sink in water !
Yet those scoffers must have seen iron floating scores and scores of times ; an old crock thrown ...away and floating in a pond, saucepans floating in the tub they were being cleansed in, and so forth.
132 Eyes and No-Eyes I was able to cap his statement with another of which he had not before heard, namely, that the Board of Admiralty rejected as too fanciful for practical men the idea of propelling men-of-war by steam power, when this invention was first brought to their notice. Steam, they said, might be useful, up to a certain point ; perhaps steam- tugs might be employed, to tow the battleships into action ; but anything further than this was just a crazy notion !
