Naval Warfare Of the Future

From The Naval Battle of the
Future" by Hudson Maxim, in the
September Metropolitan Magazine.
High explosives are destined to
play a far more important part in
future warfare than they have play
ed in the past. There are three
ways by which high explosives
may be brought to bear upon the
war-ships of an enemy for their de-
struction. One is in the bursting
charge of the high explosive armor-
piercing projectile; another is in
the submarine torpedo, either in the
stationary submarine mine or the
self-propelled torpedo, of which the
latter the Whitehead is the princi-
pal type; and the other is in aerial
torpedoes, huge projectiles carrying
charges of half ton high explo-
siveS, dropped upon and about the
war-ships of an enemy.
During the last decade the prin-
cipal progress in the use of high
explosives has been in the perfect
ing of bursting charges for armor-
piercing projectiles; and to-day we
are able to fire high explosive pro-
jectiles from powder-guns, and to
penetrate the thiCkest armor-plate
without explosion until the projec-
tile has passed through the plate
to be exploded behind the plate
with a proper delay action fuse.
To-day when we are able to pen
citrate heavy armor with projectiles
charged with high explosive SO
per cent more powerful than ordi-
nary dynamite, we look back with
a sense of mingled wonder and
amusement to the grotesque pneu-
matte guns for throwing aerial tor
pedoes, on which this Government
squandered more than a million
dollars about twenty years ago.
Still, there was one good feature
about the pneumatic system, and
it was the idea of propping large
charges of high explosives upon the
decks and in the water surrounding
the war-vessels of an enemy. The
fatal defect of the system was the
employment Of compressed air, in
stead of gunpowder, for the projec-
ton of the torpedOes from the gun,
together with the fragile character
of the topedo casing, which preclud-
ed all possibility of piercing even
the thinnest structure.
