Excerpt from Essays on Naval Defence
The value of the kind of studies embraced in these essays in enabling us to make correct forecasts was set forth in the Preface to the First Edition, so far as sail power, very heavy guns, classification of ships, and the leading principles of Imperial defence were concerned. There was a lament over our failure to study the question of naval tactics seriously, and by the use of the inductive method; and a fear was expressed lest such neglect might some day land us in trouble. No war had then occurred to test any of the tac tical forecasts made in the last two chapters, and so nothing could be shown in the way of experiment to justify the method pursued in that domain of naval science.
But since then the Battle of Yalu has been fought. Clearing the nature of the battle from side issues, we may say that it was a trial of strength between two tactical formations - the line abreast, which, in the military phrase adopted by Captain bainbridge-hofl' of the United States Navy, would be line and the line-ahead, which, in the language of the same authority, would be column.
