The ships proceed so close to one another that most of the signaling can be done by sailors who wave their arms at the rail. Occasionally, however, signals must be transmitted to vessels far away from the flagship. Then the signal flags are unfurled. Here and there among the massive dreadnoughts swift little torpedo boats dart about, and the submarines move along, alternately diving and rising to the surface, under the protection of the larger vessels. Now and then a great boom is heard as the lookout on one of the warships sights moving figures at one of the forts and directs a gunner to try a shot at the enemy. Above the ships a scouting aeroplane soars, the pilot closely observing the situation of the shore, and often dropping to flash the information he has gathered to the commanders of the ships.
