NVHgH the most remarkable
submarine boat in the
world This fame is due
to the Salmon's recent record-breaklng
cruise from the Atlantic coast to Ber-
muda and return-a deep-sea voyage
such as has had no parallel in the his
tory of underwater craft The cruise
to Bermuda was not only the first
cruise by a submarine to a foreign
port or out of sight of land, but 1t
was the longest virtually continuous
run ever attempted by such vessel.
The total distance covered aggregated
nearly LOO miles and, as it happened,
the little vessel encountered very
rough weather during considerable
part of the trip.
Not only did this nautical excur-
sion establish a new record for YES
sells of the American navy, but 1t sur
passed all foreign achievements. The
best performances previously record
ed by American vessels of this type
was found in the run of the subma-
rine Viper from Cape Lookout to Ann
apolis, Md, a distance of about 483
knots, and the cruise of a flotilla of
submarines from New York to Annap-
