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.
