NAVAL BOARD HAS
NE WTEST SCHEME
Navy Board Recommends a Tank fo'
the Testing Of the Submarine
Craft Of Nation.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. g. The
naval board has submitted to congress
a recommendation for a testing and
wrecking dock which would be used
for solving submarines of any size,
docking them and making tests to
determine resistance Of external water
pressure. The board holds that two of
these docks ultimately will be required
for the Atlantic coast and one each
for the Pacific coast, Hawaii. Panama,
Guam and the Philippine islands
The plans for the proposed struc-
ture include provision for large
cylinder which can be filled with
water. In it the submarine will be
placed and subjected to any degree Of
pressure. Thus would be accomplished
without danger the same results as
are now obtained in tests which send
the submarines down into the depths
and would demonstrate the resistance
Of the vessel.
