The book is focused on the use of naval guns, and provides a detailed exploration of the factors that affect the trajectory of projectiles fired from these guns, including windage, elevation, and the effects of the earth's rotation. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of naval gunnery. The first section provides an overview of the history of naval gunnery, including a discussion of the evolution of gunpowder and the development of different types of guns. The second section of the book delves into the principles of exterior ballistics, including a detailed examination of the factors that affect the trajectory of projectiles. This section also covers the use of range tables and ballistic curves, which are essential tools for calculating the trajectory of naval projectiles.
