LIEUT.-COMMANDER D. W. Knox, U. S. Navy.—Lieutenant Long's article is interesting from an academic standpoint, and no analysis of or investigation relating to gunnery is out of place. It is only by complete knowledge and understanding of every aspect that we can reach truly sound conclusions.
Previous discussion of the article has measurably added to its value, but it is the writer's belief that both the article itself and the discussion accompanying it have failed to properly recognize and consider a very essential point, and that the possibility of not having the same duly appreciated throughout the service constitutes a real danger.
