Admiral King ordered a "fire to exhaustion" test with one of the 14-inch ships to see if the arrangements were still sufficient. The result was the vast majority of 250 12-gun salvos were fired on time and the magazines were completely emptied by the crews on duty without difficulty.
If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

A full magazine would only give her enough ammunition for about 100 12-gun solvos.
