The 7.5-inch gun has on other official tests developed a muzzle velocity of 2920 feet per second, and an energy of 11,800 foot-tons--almost double that on the occasion of the attack against this 7-inch armor--so that, with superior propelling powder, it is possible to conceive that the degree of penetration on this occasion could be attained at very considerable ranges.
