In the turmoil of the battle I had little doubt that they would be taken, at first, and perhaps until it was too late, as a second wave of round ships. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 17, Sentence #176)

Behind my second-wave ships, I saw, scattered in its long enveloping line stretching from horizon to horizon across Thassa, their small storm sails pounded by the wind, the third wave, that of the round ships. I glanced back. Astern of the Dorna, not hurrying, at half beat, came fifty tarn ships, their masts high, storm sails bound to their long, sloping yards. In the turmoil of the battle I had little doubt that they would be taken, at first, and perhaps until it was too late, as a second wave of round ships. Following the fourth wave, its own attack timed to occur half an Ahn after that of the fourth wave, would come the fifth wave, the two small fleets of tarn ships, of forty ships apiece, masts down, who would initiate their pincers attack from the north and the south. And simultaneously with the initiation of the pincers attack the balance of my fleet, the reserves, fifty-five tarn ships, should draw within signal distance of the Dorna. With the reserves would come ten more round ships, wide-beamed lumber ships from the arsenal. - (Raiders of Gor)
