Purposes Of the Tiny Craft Now Being Modified BY
Uncle Sam.


spain's coming torpedo boat fotilla
has occasioned the public mind more
alarm than the actual nearness of those
really fine fighting ships, the Vizcaya
and the Oquendo; and, too, it is report
ed that a goodly number Of naval men
have expressed their apprehension but
all such rumors should be taken with
a good sized grain of salt The man
euvers at Key West within the past
few days are cited as proof of the ease
with which torpedo boats may creep up
within shrinking distance under cover
of darkness, but all the conditions of
real conflict are missing. The conyen-
tional restrictions OF play war tactics
are but poor shifts for the stress of
war, and the nervous excitement prev
alent when under fire or fear of fire.
1t is one thing to creep up within the
circumscrihed arc of theoretical dam
ger and to assume a shot struck, but
quite another story to face the threat
OF well nigh certain destruction with
the very questionable prospect of hit
ting the shadowy target presented by
a foe on night sucn as would make
near approach possible. The element of
surprise is everything to the success
OF the torpedo boat attack, and it were
quite as likely that an army Should
rest secure in the consciousness of its
own might, without the safeguard of
pickets, as ii were for a battleship to
Willingly invite attack by waving the
protection Of videttes. 1t is to just that
service that the recently acquired
yachts and sea going tugs viii be put
when the time comes, and, once warned,
the heavy craft viii be but poorly han
~ n H1,,% toni inn
torpedo boat either to the bottom or
back into the gloom whence she came.
There are times. though, when the
torpedo boat is a frightful menace, and
then it is that she is justified. At the
close of an action, when the foe Is
wounded in all save her slow-firing
guns. and is still too dangerous an an
fagonist for a tour de force, then is
the time for the torpedo boat-a small.
elusive target-to rush in and to plant
her deadly charge against the side of
the numbering slant. Where the bat
tleship may hesitate to strike, this puny
craft has done the work with even more
awful certainty. The moral effect of
torpedo boats is a close second to their
actual might. and the craft is rash,
indeed. that wiz venture between ar
row passes. land-bOund waterways or
near the shadow o fany cover that may
shelter the dingy body of a torpedo
boat. The mere thought Of such
menace is enough to keep away vessels
such as would readily engage a for
Inidable fighting ship.
Every effort is being put forward to
rush the work of our own torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers: and but
a reasonably short time viii find us
provided with some really effective
boats of this sort.
OF the IL boats upon which we may
IN CHI rr~faf Trrr. 1F
may be classed as destroyers, the Far
ragut and the Rowan; two of them as
30-knot torpedo boats, the Craven and
the Dahlgren, and the rest as torpedo
boats Of ordinary speed. The dimen-
sions are:
