Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Title: The fangs of the British Navy; Caption 1: The first photograph ever made of one of the new British monitors in action. These craft are equipped with one fourteen or fifteen inch gun, and are very effective for coast bombardment. Six first-class monitors may be built at the cost of one super dreadnaught, and are useful for coast attack as in the Dardanelles.

caption 2: A view from the forward turrets of the super-dreadnaught “Queen Elizabeth,” the pride of

Great Britain’s navy. The huge fifteen-inch guns shown throw a heavier shell than has ever

been shot from a battleship before. During a bombardment in the Dardanelles, these great
guns hurled their one-ton projectiles over a distance of nearly fifteen miles
