To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a weapon of offense, used against hostile submarines in strictly naval warfare, the U-boat has failed to achieve what was expected of it, and this phase of its activity has been distinctly inglorious. The British submarine patrol mostly concerns itself with trying to intercept the enemy when coming and going near his own ports where his routes converge, and then with attacking him by means of torpedo or shell-fire, ramming him if possible, and endeavoring always to drive him under and into t...he perils of nets and mines among which he must blindly grope. It is easy to compre- hend why the North Sea must be the area in which this extraordinary business is largely carried on. The patrol has other duties, to watch and in- vestigate neutral shipping from Holland, Norway, and Sweden, to overhaul the innocent lugger and the trawler with a hidden gun, to discourage Ger- man mine-sweepers, and to capture or sink the enemy's merchant ships which may venture to make a run of it along the coast, and frequently get caught at it.
