Defending America

| Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, United States navy, in an absorbing article in the Popular Science Monthly for May, tells of his invention, the torpedoplane. Tt has been suggested that the tor pedoplane' which patented about five years ago. says he, may prove to be an invention which may play part in l changing the character of naval warfare and which may help us to defend our long coast line very cheaply and effect lively.
 That the torpedoplane will become an important factor in naval warfare in the near future. many people have no. doubt. It is an invention which renders it pos sible to launch the regular Whitehead torpedo from an aeroplane as effectively as 1t is launched from a destroyer.
 "A destroyer dashes for her enemy at a speed which can rarely be as high as 30 knots an hour, and launches a tor pedo from her deck into the water, That act of launching throws back a lever on the torpedo, called the startling lever which causes the propelling mechanism of the torpedo to go ahead full speed. After reaching the water therefore the torpedo goes along in the direction in which it is pointed; and if it Is ponted correctly, 1t hits the target ship below the water line and usually sinks or crip- ples her.
 Il received private information from Europe about year ago that a lieu tenant in the British navy made four flights over the land into the Sea of Marmora in an airpane under which a Whitehead torpedo was secured and that he sank four Turkish vessels, using 14-inch torpedoes, weighing 7S1 pounds each For this service. he was awarded the medal of the distinguished service order.
 For an attack on battleships the large size torpedo, weighing about ton, would be the best. It can be fired from a dis tance of five sea miles or over. We now have a number of airplanes in this coun- try large enough for carrying such tor pedoes."
