That submarine vessels can make
extended trips is shown by a recent
experience with the Viper, owned by
the United States, which, In command
of midshipman, ran 4S7 miles, from
a point of the North Carolina coast to
Annapolis. Hitherto no such attempt
has been made. OF course, the voyage
was made on the surface, as submar
ines dive only when such action is
considered necessary. But that the
Viper could go safely for such a dis
lance, unaccompanied by any convoy,
is taken to show that such craft are
capable of more independent service
than was supposed.
