WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-As a result
Of the conclusions reached by the naval
board which Investigated the sinking of
the submarine FL in Honolulu harbor
all the remaining submarines OF the +
class will probably be brought to the
Mare Island navy yard for n thorough
o%verhauling. This was announced at

Mr.. Daniels mas already ordered that
the FL. FIG and F-3, the remaining
vessels OF the F. class. be thoroughly
examined. particularly their batteries.
Pending the conclusion of this examina-
ton they will not make any submerged
runs or participate In other exercises
at sea.
The f. class constituted the submarine
defence OF Hawaii. No orders v as
yet been issued for the assignment of
any other submarines to that station.
The investigating board which ex-
amlned the wreck OF the F-4 found that
the lead plates in the batteries were
badly corroded. II was also discovered
that corrosion had taken place In a
number OF steel plates. The announce
ment made at the Navy Department to-
day did not ~corroborate press reports
from Honolulu to the effect that the
hoard of investigation "A found evil
dences that some OF the batteries had
exploded and that this was the direct
cause of the disaster.
1t is stated that the danger from cor
rosion lies In the fact that the salt
