tleships will be able to survive the ex-
plosion Of a single torpedo against
their hulls. regardless OF where they
are struck, in the opinion Of navy ex-
perts. Experiments which have been
in progress for more than a year have
demonstrated that two or more torpe-
does must find their mark before these
ships can be sent to the bottom.
The two superdreadnaughts and
two battle cruisers congress has been
asked to authorize this year will be
designed on this plan. Battleships 43

ton resulting from the study made Of
the question of torpedo defense since
the outbreak of the European war,
but later ships will have even in.
creased provisions In this regard.
The experiments are continuing and
officials expect further information on
the subject to be developed. Details
OF the work are regarded as confiden-
tial. but it Is known that some ex-
perts are hopeful that a type of con-
struction will be evolved which will
greatly reduce the effectiveness of
either mines or torpedoes against
heavy ships.
