EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the groundbreaking moment of Volley firing by the Scott Method, an experimental gunnery technique that has set the naval world abuzz with excitement in 1912. The image showcases five large-caliber shells being simultaneously trained, laid, and fired towards a distant target five miles away. The Scott Method, developed by American naval gunnery expert Commander William S. Scott, aimed to increase the effectiveness and speed of naval gunnery by enabling multiple shots to be fired in quick succession, rather than waiting for each individual shot to be aimed and fired. The intricacy of the process is evident in the photograph, with each gunner intently focused on his task, ensuring the perfect alignment of their guns. The spherical shells, loaded and ready to be fired, are arranged in a neat line, their fuses lit and primed. The guns themselves, powerful weapons of war, are positioned with precision, their muzzles pointed towards the target. The success of this method was a significant pre-war development for the navy, as it promised to enhance the firepower and accuracy of ships, providing a crucial advantage in the event of conflict. The image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the naval forces during this period, as they sought to improve their capabilities and prepare for the challenges of the future. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer G.H. Davis, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the world of naval gunnery and the groundbreaking advancements that shaped its history.
