Experiments have been carried out
by the British naval authorities witlra
new metaod for combating submarine
vessels. This device comprises i new
type Of quick-hfing torpedo. This mis-
sile is less than six inches in diameter
and carries, of course. a smaller explo-
sive charge than the eigateen-inch
weapon while furthermore it is not
provided with a gyroscope. The new
torpedo is fired from an aDoye-water
tube, and the mechanism Is 50 arranged
that the weapon sinks when it has
reached its limit Of range, if the object
ut which it was discharged is missed.
Tie trials are being carried out at
Portsmouth. and are being followed
with great interest, as it is considered
a more effective means Of fighting the
submarine than the system Of entang-
ling them in wire nets.
