 Within a very short time after he took command of the base at Dun- kirk the commodore had armored cars in operation but the armor plate used in the first ears was too light to with stand the rifle and machine gun fire of the Teutons and rendered them absolutely useless against shell fire.
 The commodore realized that he must overcome the difficulty in some way, so he produced a heavier type of car which would withstand rifle bullets at point blank range. He then returned to London and began to design a land battieship which would withstand shells and bullets alike. Winston Churchill, then first lord of the admiralty, approved the plans, but Sir Percy Scott was against any such machine of war.
