 . TEST "SEA-HORNET'
New Boat Is Mere Launch in Time of Peace, But Torpedo
 Terror In War

New York. December 11.--A high ! powered motor boat. which, during times of peace, can be carried on bat tleships as service launch and in war converted in a few moments into deadly torpedo boat, was demonstrated here today in the launching of the first vessel of the new naval auxiliary i known as type A-3 sea hornet"
 The vessel is designed to form an important part of Americas coast de- fense. and the launching took place in the presence of more than 100 regular army and national guard officers, as well as representatives of the navy and the governors of New York and New Jersey. The sea hornet" type was conceived during the war and was held as navy secret its operation being prevented by the armistiee.
 It is twin screw 600 horsepower motor boat, 5S feet long. with {. hinge bow which drops from place. In the bow Is 2l-inch torpedo, carrying iA its war head 500 pounds of high ex- piosive. Two additional tropedoes are carried as well as six depth bombs. When In operation as a war craft the sea hornet" which carries q crew of four men, sinks until but little more than one foot of the hull Is above the waterline
 The plan of the inventor and those interested in the invention is to have the boat operate in squadrons-or rather "swarms' against enemy craft. The small size of the craft and the low visibility would make the possi- bility of one or more of them making "a target of an enemy battleship very high, especially at night
