Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heavy Ordnance for National Defence Too great prominence cannot be given to the exposed state of our harbors, and the utterly defenceless condition of the United States, and if we are not to remain utterly helpless there must be inaugurated and developed an efficient torpedo service, and adequate means for supplying quickly heavy guns and armor adapted to modern warfare. In suggesting a remedy, all the requisites should undoubtedly be considered; but the great length of time needed in which to manufacture the material for, and fabricate, the heavy guns and armor of a type accepted by the principal powers as the best weapons of offence and defence, makes it pertinent to give their supply preeminence over the construction of ships and fortifications. Already much attention has been paid the subject, and investigations continue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
