the success achieved in submarine ex-
periments IN Nargagansett bay OF
Newport during the past summer, the
Porpoise and Shark being used for
the purpose. The officers in charge
have refrained from making public the
results of the experiments, but 1t Is
known that each has made over BOO
miles with gasoline engines under con
ditions that rendered this notable.
They have also accomplished more In
maneuvers under water than had here
tofore been attempted. and the sub
marine department of the navy is be-
lieved TO have been materially
strengthened by the knowledge gained
during the past year.
Varying Methods Used.
To the landsman there would seem
small difference in submarines. The
general principle OF all is the same
When ready to go under the surface
they are made almost as heavy as the
surrounding water by admitting water
10 the ballast tanks and then dropping
below the surface either by diving,
through the movement of the boat and
the use of the horizontal rudder or on
an even keel by further admission OF
water.
In the methods employed. however
there are differences between the Hol'
land and Lake types which are radi-
cal in their effect on the efficiency OF
the craft. and friends OF the Lake boat
have maintained that in the coming
