What reading level is The Navy in Battle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This account pro- ceeds : ' As soon as her first salvo had fallen she began to fire very rapidly in salvoes, the rate of fire being as high as ten rounds per gun per minute, and very accurate for the first ten minutes. ' I draw the reader's attention particularly to this phrase, because it reproduces almost verbatim Com- modore Tyrwhitt's comment on the fire of the German 166 THE NAVY IN BATTLE cruisers in his third action of the Heligoland affair. We find the same phenomenon at the destruction... of Koenigsherg, whose guns both throughout the first and second day of that affair seem to have had the exact range of the monitors. This testimony to the accuracy of the enemy's fire must be read in con- nection with Captain Glossop's statement, that in all about ten hits seem to have been made. All accounts agree that no hits were made after the first ten minutes. But if the rate of Emden's fire is correctly given, she must have fired 500 rounds in this phase of the action. Ten hits to 500 rounds gives 2 per cent, of hits only !
