••VVliY WE AlUbi HAVE TWO TO ONE IN DREADNOUGHTS.' 



An elaboration of a pictorial postcard by l.ieut. Carlyon HcUairs. The following text appears on the cards : " Xine Majesties 

 and six Dreadnought;. — lo minutes' fire of one ship on each line is equal for all ships on the same line. — Why we must have 

 two-to-one in Dreadnoughts. —The Dreadnoughts, having at least four knots' advantage of speed over the i)re-Dreadnou"hts 

 can choose the range with the sun behind their gunners. Nine Majesties fire in ten minutes 21(1 projectiles, which iienc"rate 

 II inches of armour on Drcadtiought waler-line at about 9000 yards range. Six ^dreadnoughts fire goo projectiles, which can 

 penetrate all armour on M.ajcstics at any range. The newer guns on the later ships are far mure accurate. The 6-incli guns 

 on the Majestic arc ineffective at long range. The large area unprotected on Majesties makes them very vulnerable."
