TORPEDO BOAT INDICATED
BY JAPAN'S NAVAL HEROES

Of torpedo gunboats, dcstroysrs, cruis-
ers, rams and repair ships. Except the
last named, all are fitted with torpedo
tubes.
The torpedo cruisers and gunboats
are designed to destroy torpedo boats
in heavy weather mot being fast
enough to catch them in smooth seas)
act as dispatch vessels and engage
larger ships. But they are too large
and slow to make sudden night at
tacks upon the enemy, and their draft
does not permit them to go into shoal
water. They are superseded in our
navy by torpedo boat destroyers and
the smaller torpedo boat.
The prime difference between these
two types is that the destroyer is a
sea going torpedo boat. The modern
destroyers have a displacement of 400
tons, length of 800 feet, 5000 horse
power and speed of 80 knots. They
represent the highest Development in
ship building, and their engines have
have horse power equal to that of the
battleship Texas, of 20 times their ton
mage. They carry two torpedo tubes
and rapid fire guns that would quickly
destroy a torpedo boat. These yes
sells make excellent scouts for linn
tied period, and their speed enables
them to escape heavier ships with
ease.
The searchlight, perfected about the
time torpedo boat construction receiv-
ed its impetus, was supposed to be a
sure means of defense, rendering the

ship a few hundred yards distant.
The best defenses Of squadron at
sea are destroyers, scouts and picket
boats, numerous enough to prevent
the. enemy's Aotilla from breaking
through.
At the torpedo station in Newport,
R. T., record Of torpedo attacks is
kept, and from this the average dis
tance of discovery is about 800 yards.
The new Whitehead torpedo has an
effective range of 1000 yards, and the
chances of q ships escape would be
slim. Even if discovered mile away
30 knot destroyer would cover half
that distance in one minute, and il
would be excellent gunnery that could
place her hors du combat in that time.
The first man of war to show the
disastrous result of torpedo explosion
was the Brazilian battleship Aquida-
ban. The last was the Russian bat
tleship Peresviet, sunk by the attacks
of Admiral Togo's fotillas.

No less an. authority than Vice Adj
miral Colcomb of the British navy,
writing Of that war, said:
Torpedo boats cannot perform mir

cannot prevail against weapons emf
ploying 5000 men,"
That torpedo boats can perform mir
acles and prevail aeainst battleships
has been shown within q month, in
the Russo-Japanese war.
Two years ago dispute, serious and
acrimonious, was waged upon the sub
ject of dropping torpedoes from bat
tleship of equipment; today brainy
members of our congressional naval
committees are advocating torpedo
craft to the exclusion of ponderous
ships of the line!
This change of opinion is the direct
result of the marvellous success Of the
Japanese torpedo fotilla in the east.
