Steam-driven and armored line-of-battle ships dominated, but no longer monopolized the engagement (Naval Warfare, 2015). Tactics and technology are intertwined, and there is no better period to study this mutual relationship than the shift from sail to steam in the 19th century. The development of the shell gun forced navies to adopt the iron sheathing of hulls, which lead to all metal hulls (Eller, n.d.). The move towards all metal hulls caused the installation of rifled, breech-loaded guns of major caliber to be required (Eller, n.d.). The use of iron boilers and development of screw propellers made steam propulsion practical and gave a new freedom of maneuver, navies were now tactically unfettered from the wind (Eller, n.d.). Only the strategic consequence of having to remain within steaming range of coaling stations was the pitfall of this new technology. When speaking of the developments of naval weaponry in relation to the innovation of the steam engine, it was rifled ordnance that altered fighting capabilities dramatically and at the same time force the acceptance of heavy iron armor. The new type of naval artillery had significantly greater range, accuracy, and penetrating power than the old smoothbores (Lautenschlager, 1983, pg. 10). Improvements in metallurgy paired with the…

    Most car insurances determine the amount you pay based on your credit score. The logic behind this is that those who tend to have lower credit rates are also more likely to have a poor payment history through-out their life and make more claims. This is also used to view previous credit history; if you have a poor credit history due to frequent missed payments the insurance company can protect themselves by you paying a higher rate in case you repeat your poor payment history.
