HARBoR DEFENSE.
What a Submarine Boat Can Do In Thu
Line of Warfare.


Line of Warfare.
When engaged in harbor defense
duty, the submarine boats position
will be outside the outer line of har-
Dor defense-that is, beyond the
range of the guns defending the en-
trance. While performing this duty
it will lie awash-that is, with only
the top of its turret over the sur
face Of the water. On the approach
of an enemy g vessel the smokestack
will be shipped, and the aperture on
top of the turret through which it
passed will be quickly closed water
tight. She will then run in direc-
ton to intercept the enemy's ship,
still remaining in the awash condi-
ton until she comes near enough to
be discovered by the lookouts on
the ship, when she will go from the
awash to the entirely submerged
condition. The distance from the
ship at which she must dive will de-
pend on the weather. In rough
weather she can come quite close
without being observed.
Having come within a distance
that the operator estimates at 200
or 300 yards from the ship, the div
ing rudders are manipulated 80 as
to cause the top of the turret to
come for few seconds above the
surface of the water. During this
short exposure of the turret-much
too short to give the enemy a chance
to find its distance and train gun
on it capable of intlicting any injury
the pilot ascertains the bearing of
the enemy's ship, alters his course
or makes another dive, if necessary.
If he finds that the submarine boat
is within safe striking distance, say
100 yards, Whitehead torpedo is
discharged at the ship. A heavy ex-
plosion within six seconds after the
torpedo is expelled will notify the
operator that his attack has been
anecessful. and he may then devote
