Excerpt from The Attack and Defence of Coast-Fortifications
The rational use of coast-artillery, and the development of a correct system of defence, are based upon a knowledge of the means of defence, of the capability of those means, and of the method of employing them. They are also based on a knowl edge of the hostile means of attack, and of their greater or less fitness for the work assigned to them.
