VIII.—The tops of military masts form such difficult targets for direct 
attack that it is generally preferable to fire at the masts near 
the deck with C.P. from pieces of a suitable size. It is to be 
noted that the larger masts are used as ammunition hoists 
for the tops. 
IX.—If, when a group is on any objective, "fresh objective” sounds, 
which fresh objective necessitates a change of projectile, the 
group should be, at once, trained on and fired at the old 
objective and then loaded with the projectile suitable for the 
attack of the new objective. 
X.—The armour on turrets and barbettes does not, in many cases, 
extend down to the belt; consequently, there is a large vul¬ 
nerable space open to the attack of common shell between 
the two.
