of the opinion that within the next
few years there would be great
development Of submarine detecting
apparatus which would give large
and important ships a certain meas
ure of protection against tactical
attack by submarines
He regarded as impracticable the
proposal that battleships should be
made submersible. He ventured
the opinion that the use of gas
might eventually revOlutionize naval
warfare much as GunpOwder did
when first introduced. Ii might be
discharged with deadly effect on an
