With such a storm of large and small projectiles it would seem to be rather a question of who would be left alive rather than who would be killed. The guns in use in the United States navy are the 13-inch, 12- inch, 10-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch, 5-inch, 4-inch, 6-pounders, 3- pounders, 1-pounder, Hotchkiss 37 mm. revolver cannon, and the machine guns.
In armament the Japanese also had a marked advantage, as the following table, from Wilsan's Ironclads in Action, will show: |SHIPS | GUNS |SHOTS IN 10 MINUTES | | | | | | Large |Small q. f.| | Weight of |Number|6-inch|quick fire|and machine|Number | metal | | | | | | China | 12 | 40 | 2 | 130 | 33 | 4,885 Japan | 10 | 34 | 66 | 154 | 185 | 11,706
"There are guns everywhere machine guns, mountain guns, field guns, huge guns of position, 6-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch which have been dragged or carried with all their mountings, their equipment, their tools and appurtenances, up to their stations, it may be, 3,000, 4,000, 6,000 feet above the level.
Of this flotilla the most powerful was the iron-clad Louisiana, whose armor was found strong enough to turn an 11-inch shell at short range, and, as her armament consisted of two 7-inch rifles, three 9-inch shell guns, four 18-inch shell guns, and seven 6-inch rifles, she might have proved a formidable foe had her engines been equal to their work.
Here they had brought up long-range guns, and with these inflicted heavy damage. Nevertheless, the Serbians in Belgrade gave a good account of themselves. There were stationed there the big naval guns, 4.7-inch and 6-inch, sent into the country by Great Britain, France, and Russia, and served by their expert gunners.
The power of continuous work thus afforded is of itself an inestimable advantage; and the high visual excellences testified to by Mr. Burnham's discovery, during a two months' trip to Mount Hamilton in the autumn of 1879, of forty-two new double stars with a 6-inch achromatic, gave hopes since fully realised of a brilliant future for the Lick establishment.
The relief and march occupied until 4 a.m., and were succeeded by mist and frost. The concussion of our neighbours, the 6-inch naval guns, echoed among the trees, heralding the first of December, 1916. The move from Martinsart to Hedauville. Back to Martinsart. Working parties. Dug-outs at Mouquet Farm. Field Trench. Return to the front line. Getting touch. Guides. An historic patrol.
Two well-planned and energetic night attacks were made upon the enemy's siege batteries on the 8th of December at Gun Hill, a kopje pertaining to Lombard's Kop, and on the 10th at Surprise Hill, north of the town, towards Nicholson's Nek. The former, executed chiefly by Natal colonial forces, resulted in destroying a 6-inch gun and a 4.7-inch howitzer.
I heard that after lunch King George, assisted by Prince Alexander of Teck, was going to award decorations and medals to Belgian officers, and during the afternoon I obtained many good scenes. The Queen was there, and with her the two Princes and little Princess Josephine. They were all most interested in the proceedings. I filmed the King visiting a 6-inch Howitzer Battery.
