Pile on more armor7 A battleship
could hardly move with the load Of
armor that IL would take to protect her
against two ton bombs. She has al
ways been weak below the water line,
where submarine torpedoes and mines
exploding have always been able to send
her to the bottom. But there have been
defenses more or less effective against
torpedoes and mines.
The airship has made IL possible to
carry the mine into the air and launch
Il with such force and speed that no
dragnet or sweeper can keep IL away
from the ships vitals. And armoring
shin clear down to her keel would
make her so heavy that she could not
move. And even IL such srmoring
were practical, huge navies costing bill
lions already exist which are not pro,
tected below the water line. Shall
they be scrapped and new billions be
spent trying to create ships TINT will
resist attock from the air?
Certainly not in the present temper
Of the world. General Mitchell has
furnished the most tremendous argn
mpnt for naval disarmament in history.
He has turned the scale at the coming
disarmament conference. Now that
no one knows what to build, every one
will be glad to agree to stop building
big ships. They will turn their atten- i
tion to aircraft which does not cost
much and anti aircraft guns which still
remain to be perfected. The phrase,
"sea power in history" has a new
meaning. Il Ia now purely in history
