To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER VIII THE BATTLE OF THE SAINTS' PASSAGE 1782 IN the days when fleets in action relied upon the oar, all fighting was at close quarters, and, as we have seen in our study of typical battles of this period, naval engage- ments fought out at close quarters gave very definite results, the fleet that was defeated being practically destroyed.
When battles began to be fought under sail, with the gun as the chief weapon, a new method had to be evolved. The more the fire of broadside batteries wa...s reUed upon, the greater was the tendency to fight at short artillery range, without closing to hand-to-hand distance, and when the sailors and searfighters of the seventeenth century adopted line ahead as the normal formation for making the most of broadside fire, battles had a marked tendency to degenerate into inconclusive artillery duels.
In botli the English and the French navies — ^the two powers that after the naval decline of Spain and Holland disputed the command of the sea — ^the tactics of the battle in line ahead soon crystallized into a pedantic system.
