Captain s. Eardley wllmOt, r. n.
late chief torpedo expert OF the admi-
rally. In his report has the following
20 say on the subject. The develop
ment OF the Whitehead torpedo, with
which now nearly all nations are sup
piled. renders the question OF protecting
ships against this attack one OF the
grayest consideration. The torpedo
boat Of to-day travels At the rate OF
30 knots an hour and carries 200
pounds OF explosive compound directed
against the most vulnerable part Of a
ship, that OF her hull under water. We
have been enabled by the addition OF
large masses OF armor. TO fairly pro-
tect the water line and above Il. against
the effects OF artillery fire. but cannot
extend this 10 the submerged portion
OF her hull as a defense against tor
pedo attacks. We have. therefore
been Obliged TO restrict our endeavors
as far az structural arrangements are
concerned 10 give ships Of war a
double bottom. and Gubdivldlng them
internally into a number Of water tight
compartments. thus seeking to dimin'
ish the effects OF an explosion and re.
strict the inflow OF water al that point
AS. however. these arrangements
could only give very partial protection
at a time when torpedOcs carried {
comparatively small charge. Il was con
sldered desirable 70 stop them before
they could reach the ship. and for thll
purpose the present system OF net de
tense was devised. This consists o
