Transcriber’s Notes

Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph or table in which

they are referenced.

Inconsistent (Kiao Chau/Kiau-Chau, Nurnburg/Nurnberg, Cöln/Köln) and

unusual spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation as used in the source

document have been retained unless mentioned below.

The inconsistencies between the text and the tabulated data (Chapter

X.) have been retained, as have been the repeated entries in the

tabulated data.

The names of ships have been copied verbatim from the original work

(except as listed below), although there is some doubt about some of

the spellings.

Page 176, Edgar Class, 22 torpedo tubes: it is unclear what the 22

refers to.

Page 178, Birmingham: this ship is listed with two different sets of

armament in the source document (a third set is listed in the body of

the text).

Page 197: the breves (ŭ) in the French names were copied from the

source document.

CHANGES MADE

Some minor punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected

silently.

Chapter X: Table headers and Note to Armour have been added where

necessary/relevant.

The decimal point has been standardised to ·.
