What reading level is Our Navy in the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The expedition was divided into contingents, each contingent including troop-ships and an escort of sea-fighters. An ocean rendezvous with American destroyers op- erating in European waters was arranged, and carried out in minutest detail.
The convoy did not cross the seas without in- cident. In the newspapers of July 4 the coun- try was electrified by a statement issued by the Creel bureau of a rather thrilling combat be- tween war-ships attached to the convoy and German submarines, in which t...he U-boat was badly worsted. Details were given, and all in all the whole affair as presented was calculated to give the utmost unction to American pride.
Next day, however, came a despatch from the American flotilla base in British waters which set forth that the story of the attack as published in the United States was inaccurate.
There was no submarine attack, said the report, and no submarine was seen. One destroyer did drop a depth-bomb, but this was merely by way of precaution. Quite a stir followed, and it was not until Secretary Daniels some time later published facts as set forth in a cipher 100 OUR NAVY IN THE WAR message from Admiral Gleaves that the country realized that, while the original account was somewhat overdrawn, there was substantial ground for the belief that several transports had had narrow escapes.
