作者文中提到
In a general action I do not hold that the guns will be the principal weapon;
but should the ship's engines or steering gear be disabled,
"一般来说,我不认为火炮是主要武器,除非船的引擎或船舵失效"
对于撞角战术,他则是这样说
Rams:— As all ships of the line, lately built or at present building, are
constructed with strengthened and sharpened bows for ramming, it may be
concluded that much value is attached to this mode of attack.
"Much Value""很有价值"
