C. Blue, counting 38 points and three torpedo-catchers, was 
assembled at Queenstown. The Colossus , Edinburgh , and Inflexible 
were all comparatively slow. 
D. Blue, counting 19 points and three torpedo-catchers, was 
assembled at the mouth of the Shannon. This division, consisting of 
only 1st and 2nd class cruisers, possessed a fairly uniform speed. 
The Bed fleet then counted 64 points against 57 points of the Blue, 
and these seven points would be sufficient to ensure victory to Red 
could its two divisions only unite before engaging Blue. 
A glance at the accompanying map shows us plainly the strategical strategical 
problem which had to be solved: the two divisions of Blue are inter- be^oNed? 
posing between the parts of the divided Red.
