To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We had yet another advantage. In August, 1914, as the result of the far-seeing demands of the British Admiralty we had twice as many great ships under construction in this country as Germany had in the whole of her North Sea FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH 199 and Baltic yards. This initial advantage was an enormous one, since it meant that for eighteen months Germany could make no effective efforts to catch up with us, and that at the end of that period we should inevitably have in commission an inc...rease in battle strength more than twice as great as hers. The completed new lead thus secured early in 1916, added to the lead obtained before the outbreak of war, then made our position almost impregnable. We were thus free to con- centrate much of our attention upon those smaller vessels — the destroyers, patrol boats, steam drifters, fast submarine catchers and motor boats — which were urgently needed to cope with Germany's attacks upon the world's merchant ships.
Early in 1915, six months after the outbreak of War, our shipyards and gun shops had turned out an extraordinary quantity of finished work.
