## Summary

In naval, coast defense and artillery operations, several types of explosive shells are used; the chief ones are: the armor-piercing shell, made to pierce armor-plate before exploding; shells exploded by means of a timing fuse; shells exploded by either a timing or percussion fuse; and shells exploded by percussion only. Each different shell has some definite function to fulfill, and is designed for that purpose. For field or artillery operations, the shrapnel and lyddite are the two principal types used. Of these, shrapnel is the most prominent, because of its destructive power and its interesting mechanical construction.
