Excerpt from Papers on Naval Operations During the Year Ending July, 1885
The following papers, made up in great part from the reports of officers, descriptive of the more important naval operations of the past year, are published for the information of naval officers.
The action at the Pagoda Anchorage, in the Min River, furnishes the only example of a fleet engagement. Since the battle of Lissa, and while it throws no additional light upon the interesting and vexed problem 0} Tactics it illustrates the effect of gun and torpedo, and draws attention to the preparations for action on board vessels in the French fleet.
The successful attack on two occasions by torpedo boats armed with Spar torpedoes make it clear that our only service torpedo is not to be wholly condemned, even in comparison with the Whitehead whose field of usefulness is much more extended.
