determine from the single experiment
whether a bomb Of that size would penetrate
the citadel or central part of the ship,
which is covered with armor and contains
such vital parts as the engines and boilers.
They decided, however, that direct hits
on the deck and superstructure would break
every electric light globe on the ship, throw
ing the vessel into absolute darkness below
decks; disrupt telephone, radio, fre-control
and other electrical apparatus; fill with
deadly gases the frerooms. engine rooms
and all other compartments ventilated by
forced draft; cause shell shock TO persons
within radius Of 300 feet disrupt ammu-
milton hoists, jam turrets, kill all the gun
crews and fire control parties; and cause
fires to break out which would explode all
ammunition on the upper decks.
From their observation of the effects of
bombs detonated beneath the water, but
within GO feet of the vessel, they decided
that II the blast occurred forward of the
bulge" or part of the ship which is fitted
with longitudinal bulkheads, IL would cause
her to settle by the bow, decrease speed

either destroyed or completely put out
of action by aerial bombs.
Air Service experts sent to watch the ex-
periments and CLEAN information for the
War Department drew somewhat different
conclusions.
They found that 1850 pound British
demolition bomb, containing 900 pounds of
amatol, or ammonium nitrate and INT was
exploded between the two smokestacks of
the Indiana; that this bomb completely de-
moished the superstructure and all the
upper part of the ship between the two
stacks that it cut off one stack and lifted it
up onto the next deck; made two long
cracks In the S-inch barbette and drove in
one of the plates of the turret about 8
inches; that the heat was so intense as to
fuse the metal In several places on the side
of the barbette.

Would Break Electric Lights
And Disrupt Communication

From the effects observed, they concluded
that 1850 pound bomb of the type de-
scribed, If exploded on the deck of hostile
battleship of the most modern type, would
put the ship out of action: that the flames
and gases generated would instantly kill all
personnel on deck or In the fighting tops
all personnel in turrets. provided the open
ings were directed toward the explosion, and
a]l personnel in the engine and flrerooms.
The Air Service experts were unable to

Differ Widely About the Tests
Made on the Old Indiana

Gen. Mitchell's position is that the
speed of the target, far from being a hin
drance to the aviator, really makes his
task easier; that anti-aircraft guns are
practically negligible as a factor in pre-
venting attack by airplane; that the air
service has pursuit planes which could
easily defeat any planes which the navy
now he4 and that bombs can and are
being constructed which could put the most
modern battleship cut Of commission II

partment as to the conclusions to be drawn
which took place under navy auspices in
October of last year, though the results
were not made public until Gen. Mitchell
had drawn attention to the experiments In
his testimony before Congressional COM
mittee. Says the navy report:
In order to ascertain the damage re-
sulting from bombs IN the water sew
eral bombs of different types were ex-
ploded at accurately measured distances
from the vessel and at accurately meas
ured depths. Careful records were made
of the resulting pressures at different
positions on the vessels hull, and these
records of pressure obtained with sci
entific accuracy will be used in prepar-
ing new designs of hull.
During these experiments hull plating
on the vessels quarter sprang a slight
leak. and because the watertight doors
of the vessel had been removed she
started to fill with water and was
towed into shoal water in a position that
had been previously selected. to be used
for some experimental gun practices.
No serou damage resulted from the
under water bombing. 1t was not neces-
Sdry 10 the SUCCESS Oh lHe experiment
and IL was not intended that serious
damage should result.
In order to ascertain the amount of
damage that would result from n hit
by an aerial bomb, bombs OF different
designs and weights of explosives were
placed on different parts of the deck and
exploded Careful examinations were
made of the damage resulting from each
explosion and record made for use in
the study of future construction.
In a general way II was found that
the damage to material from aerial
bombs was local, that personnel in un-
protected positions within the blast
area would be destroyed. that personnel
in closed and armored turrets would
probably not be incapacitated and con-
sidering the probable effect Of defen-
sive gunfire against aircraft at the low
altitude necessary in order to be accu-

medately. The rudder also probably would
he jammed, they decided, and the ship
would likely have to be towed.
If the explosion occurred abreast Of the
bulge It might sink the ship Immediately,
or failing that would certainly cause her to
take sharp list, making steering difficult
ard consequently making 1t next to impossi-
BILE for her TO keep in formation. If she
stayed aloat, marked change in eleva-
tion of the main battery guns would result
and her accuracy of fire would be greatly

The New York herald., 1921-02-20

In answer to this, the adherents of Gen.
eral Mitchell say that bomb dropped from
a great height is much more effective than
ane placed on deck and exploded, because 1t
would pierce the armor and explode inside;
that only a beginning has been made in the
construction of bombs and that there is
