What reading level is Naval Reform book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What would happen if — as Heaven forefend — we had to undertake a naval war within a few months ?
Let us glance at our fleet and see what meets our gaze. Does it possess the elements necessary to that War of the Future we have endeavoured to portray ? Could it face this war without exposing itself to disaster ?
We have said that the war of the future will be a war of chase; an offensive and defensive war on our coasts and on the enemy's coasts, on those of our colonies and the colonies belongin...g to the enemy. For this, swift cruisers are necessary, and we have none !
The last constructed by our engineers are less swift than those that preceded them ; progress with us has been inverted ; we have walked backwards. We further require gun-boats, linked torpedo- boats, and transports : we have absolutely none! To second the cruisers and organise the offensive and defensive system on the three seas bordering our land, in the western basin of the Medi- terranean, in the radius of our colonies and those of our opponents, we require small squadrons of torpedo-boats, besides fully-rigged cruisers for the open sea ; but we are totally without any.
