To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the necessities of modern naval warfare, the architect is con- fronted by the three serious problems of formidable armament, invulnerable armor, and coal-caiTying capacity, and the nice ad- justment of these three elements in such a way as to procure, at the same time, the greatest speed is the one problem which is engaging the attention of naval experts throughout the world. Any one of these three features abnormally developed at the ex- pense of the others impairs the efficiency of the fig...hting machine. A battle ship or cruiser with large storage capacity for coal can carry proportionately fewer guns of lighter caliber and with arma- ment more liable to penetration by the modern projectile. So that while she might obtain the advantage of remaining long at eea without recoaling, she would at the same time be at a serious disadvantage in conflict with a vessel carrying heavier armor and throwing a greater weight of projectile to a greater distance. On the other hand, it matters not how impervious her armor or deadly her armament, if she can not carry within herself her means of locomotion, she becomes worthless except for purposes of coast defense.
