Excerpt from Examples, Conclusions, and Maxims of Modern Naval Tactics
Those nations which have always maintained large navies, and whose history and prestige date back to glorious pasts, have ever had great commanders and intelligent writers, who have made this branch of naval science a life-long study, both practically and theoretically. Upon the experience of these men, and from the writings of their naval editors, I have endeavored to give certain examples, deduce certain conclusions, and formulate certain maxims.
Naval Tactics means more than the handling of squadrons. It means the whole science of the conduct of vessels, whether they act singly or in concert; how to keep them together at sea; how to operate along a coast; how to conduct them through the inland waters of an enemy's country; how best to govern them in regard to any peculiar environ ment, whether of wind, weather, or adversary whether to attack or to retreat, and, if the former, how best to employ their weapons of offense and defense.
The tactical integer is at all times changing according as the mechan ical arts make prominent some one point in naval science, whether it be artillery or torpedoes, or the construction of the vessel itself. With wooden walls, broadside guns, and sails, it was the great fleet of many vessels. Today, with the armor-clad and its all-round fire, torpedoes, and ram, it is the single ship.
Formerly the ship was a component of the fleet. Today the fleet is a combination of ships.
Our own Navy has but marked its first century, yet its past history is filled with examples which teach startling and important lessons to the tacticians of older organizations.
During the war of 1812 a knowledge of this branch of naval science enabled us to add in nearly every equal encounter the name of the enemy's ship to our list of prizes.

Excerpt from Examples, Conclusions, and Maxims of Modern Naval Tactics
In placing these thoughts and remarks upon Naval Tactics before those who may be interested in the subject, I feel obliged to acknowledge a certain lack of experience, in a practical way, that, must necessarily exist in a navy where an evolutionary fleet is not kept up.

The tactical integer is at all times changing according as the mechanical arts make prominent some one poiut in naval science, whether it be artillery or torpedoes, or the construction of the vessel itself. With wooden walls, broadside guns, and sails, it was the great fleet of many vessels. To day, with the armor-clad and its all-round fire, torpedoes, and rain, it is the single ship.
Formerly the ship was a component of the fleet. To-day the fleet is a combination of ships.

The war of 1861 taught the lesson how to maintain the blockade of an enormous extent of coast, and the feasibility or riding out the heaviest gales of wind, anchored in the open sea, almost anywhere on available soundings.
