letter reads:
"One moro of the many suggestions
relative to combating the submarine:
Why not send a few undertaken
wooden ships into the restricted zone?
Have them well armed fore and aft.
When torpedoed the torpedo would
strike a solid mass of wood. and even
though the ship settles. she would not
sink deep enough to have her decks
submerged.
The submarine would, no doubt, rise
to the surface to shell-flre her victim,
when she would receive warm well
