' At the close ofthe nineteenth century, the regulated allowance for guns mountedon the broadside was eighty-five rounds each. Consequently, theElizabethan allowance was nearly, if not quite, as much as thatwhich our authorities, after an experience of naval warfare duringthree centuries, thought sufficient. 'The full explanation, ' saysProfessor Laughton, 'of the want [of ammunition] seems to liein the rapidity of fire which has already been mentioned. Theships had the usual quantity on board;... but the expenditure wasmore, very many times more, than anyone could have conceived. 'Mr. Julian Corbett considers it doubtful if the ammunition, inat least one division of the fleet, was nearly exhausted.
[Footnote 75: _The_Spanish_War_, 1585-87 (Navy Records Society), 1898, p. 323. ] [Footnote 76: London, 1898, p. 236. ] Exhaustion of the supply of ammunition in a single action is acommon naval occurrence. The not very decisive character of thebattle of Malaga between Sir George Rooke and the Count of Toulousein 1704 was attributed to insufficiency of ammunition, the supplyin our ships having been depleted by what 'Mediterranean' Byng, afterwards Lord Torrington, calls the 'furious fire' opened onGibraltar.
