In any case, ships that do not need heavy armour- piercing guns to pierce their armour are at a dis- advantage compared with those tha...t do. The thickness of armour which can be penetrated by the heaviest quick-firers, at close range, may be put roughly at 12 inches of wrought iron, 8 of compound armour, and 6 of steel hardened by the best known processes. The number of battleships for each Power that possess this qualification is the following : Battleships Invulnerable both on Side and Principal Gun-position to Large Quick-firers.
