What reading level is The British Navy in Battle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It will be observed that the British Admiral was carry- ing on his chase on a wide front and at full speed — prob- ably twenty-four knots. Only Glasgow, Kent, and the two battle-cruisers could maintain this, which meant that Carnarvon and Cornwall were falling very much behind. The Admiral therefore, after an hour, dropped his speed to twenty knots to enable his two cruisers to catch up. Why did he do this?
In the first place, his burst at full speed had probably shown him that instead of hav...ing an advantage of only tv/o knots in speed over his enemy, he could beat him by at least five knots when he chose. And he reasoned that if he drove at the five German ships with only four of his BATTLE OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS 189 own, it was possible for the German ships to scatter and so for one or more of them to escape. It was of the essence of his tactics that the enemy should keep his fleet together as long as possible, and it was a vital matter that when the dispersion took place the pursuit of the light cruisers should be undertaken by his own Hght cruisers with the best possible prospects of bringing all of them to action.
