INVENTOR HOLLANDS
HOLLANDS TWO NEW SEA FIGHTING MONSTERS, THE SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT AND THE
 SEkILSUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT

INVENTOR HOLLAND has just
 come to the front with another ma
 rine wonder; he calls it a semi
 submerged torpedo-boat. IL is a
 vessel designed to stand up and
 fight the enemy in an interchange
 of heavy blows. Its fighting equip ment and makeup is. therefore, some what different from his submarine tor pedO boat. This new craft does not wholly disappear under the surface of the water. but is only semi-submerged just enough for what is considered Safety in a fierce sea fight.
 In both his boats Mr. Hollands idea has been to have sufficient protection to get within striking distance of an enemy's ship. Tn the submarine boat this idea is carried out by making an attack from beneath the water, where Ehe is safe, because unseen; in the semi-submerged t t@rUedo-boat part of the vessel is protected by being sunk four feet under the water The small exposed portion is surrounded with ar nor at least as heavy as that on the armored cruisers of the present day.
 President w. H. Jacques of the Hol- land Torpedo boat Company describes the new semi-submerged torpedo-boat as follows:
 We all know how difficult it is to adequately protect a ship with armor even by a most careful distribution of weights. The semi-submerged boat presents a type in which you can ar mOr such parts as are necessary, en- ploying very heavy armor, because you have reduced to minimum the parts exposed, and, possessing submarine qualities, it is the only kind of a boat that will do this, as you well know there is not a torpedo boat in exist ence to-day that will meet these condi- tions.
 Tn such a craft you can get close up to your ship and fire the torpedo into her. while an ordinary torpedo

miles under the water, to rise and sink
 at the will of her operators, and to dis
 charge a torpedo at a target. She pre-
 sents no target at which an enemy's
 quick-firing guns can aim; she is prac-
 tically inVulnerable, and naval science has not yet devised means of. defense
 against her attacks. So that if any
 Spanish vessels come within her range she may, under favorable circum- stances revenge the loss of the Maine
 The Holland boat was tried at Perth
 Amboy, N. J., last month, and sub jected to four severe tests. While run ming full speed she was submerged by simply filling her tanks, reappearing gradually after travelling some distance under water. In addition to her capa- city for submarine work, the Holland can make good fight on the surface. She can fire an aerial torpedo contain ing 100 pounds of guncotton for a dis tance of a mile. Also she is supplied with three 1S-inch Whitehead torpe- does, fired from a tube under water. Further there is a submarine gun at the stern, designed to fire a projectile five hundred yards through the water When on the surface she is propelled by gasoline engines, when below cleo tric storage batteries do the work. Hor- izontal rudders regulate the depth to which the boat is sunk, but to be kept under water she must be constantly moving The boat is 55 feet long by II feet in diameter, and 1t is claimed that she can run for fifty miles without coming to the surface for breath.
 So far, the Holland boat promises well; but the main question is, Will the conditions favorable for the use of a submarine vessel ever occur in real action?
 That is the whole point The world. or at least that portion of 1t which is looking anxiously forward to the | America Spanish conflict as a means of | solving many unsolved problems in | naval construction, watches with in terest for the first real trial of the boat. A trial under merely peace conditions foes not count. The enemy must be at anchor and at not too great a distance
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-24

boat will be simply riddied and sawed into pieces by rapid-fre ammunition. Further, a submerged armored torpedo
 boat will be able to get so near her target that by greatly reducing the range she will eliminate many disad- vantages of the present long ranges required for the Whitehead torpedo. Again, you are giving a weil-dtscip- lined crew a chance to do something, for their quarters will be infinitely more comfortable than those they at pres ent occupy in the torpedo-boat. They will have feeling of safety which they do not now enjoy, and they will know that they will land their tor pcdO close enough to blow up the ship.
 Such a craft may be compared with a large automobile torpedo, one of suf- ficient size to carry crew and yet possessing not only similar automatic devices for controlling the position, but having them supplemented by direct mechanical ones under the direct con- trol of the brain of man.
 Such a boat will be practically ir- resistible and invulnerable; will even resist the attack of heavy ordnance, and is type that it will be impossible to avoid''
 Inventor Holland proposes to build one of these all-around fighting sub- marine machines as follows: vessel Z2O feet long, A feet wide and draw ing fl feet of water. Its displace- ment will be 1000 tons; the engines will have 10000 or 12,O00 horsepower and develop a speed of twenty-five knots. The armored superstructure to protect the smokestacks and compan- llonWay is to be between 30 and 40 feet long and 10 feet wide in the middle, the ends being made half round. The arm alnent d VIII consist of four large rapid fire guns of 10 or 12 pound caIiber in revolving turrets. The armor will be as heavy as the vessel can carry. but not less than F inches. When light the superstructure will be onlv K inches above water in the middle; in acton It will be covered by feet of above the water Iine

from the coast, the water must be com paratively smooth and clear, the tor pedo must be discharged with absolute accuracy. The slightest breakdown in the delicate machinery, the slightest
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-24

l N'''SNf sA' e' dCSliOS Gi OI OOIDttQO-DOAC de- stroyers Not only this, but it can move fearlessly right up within easy | torpedo range of Q line of battle-ships which can only train their rapid-fire guns upon the little craft, and the pro- Jectiles fromsuch guns will strike harm lessly upon the heavily armored super structure, if they could hit so small target as the vessel exposes when in action.
 ME news which comes from New
 York of the successful trials
 made by the Holland submarine
 boat has set men considering
 seriously the possibility of using this terrible weapon of offense in the war which now seems inevitable. !. Naval experts of course are divided on the question, they always are when ever any new instrument of destr1c- tion is introduced. The more conserva- tive shake their heads gravelv and dwell on the many limitations which natural law imposes on submarine nav igation; the younger and more enthu- siastic members of the profession make light of these difficulties and cIain, that we have here a weapon which. in dead ly effect, will outrival even the tornedo And we know from sad experience what terrible destruction can be wrought bv even one torpedo or submarine mine
 As a matter of fact, we are all in tba dark as yet as to what may or may not be accomplished by a submarine tor pedo boat. We know little enough about the behavior in real warfare of vessels which maneuver on the surface, and if remains to be seen what those nloyin O in the depths will achieve. All we know. so far, is that the Holland boat has proved herself able to travel for several |
