these days of progress in invention,
but no revolutionary change is to be
expected. Secrecy as to basic char
acteristics cannot be maintained and
means of defense move in parallel
lines and at about equal speed with
those of offense.
"The unlucky may happen and the
protective measures and devices need
ed for the survival of the capital
ship may outweigh and overshadow
the value of such ships as primary
weapons. Before such condition is
reached. however. the new weapons
now under trial will have to
attain a general efficiency far
sess. Predictions are one thing, ac-
Qualities are another. 1t would be the
height of unwisdom for any nation
possessing sea power to pin its faith
and change its practice upon mere
theories as to the future development
of new and untried weapons. AS yet
the protected gun is the most gener-
ally effective weapon in existence
for naval use. But that fact does not
relieve US of the necessity OF devel-
oping to the utmost new weapons
and inventions as rapidly as possible.
"Ar the present time the defense of Of
surface ships against aircraft

pedoes, seems fairly well solved. 1t

"COMMENT has been made from
time to time in the press and
elsewhere upon the comparatively
little actual fighting done in the late
! war by the battleship fleets, and the
conclusion has been drawn that be-
.. cause of their apparent inactivity
they were of no use and could be dis
pensed with. The important service
which they performed was neither
generally understood nor appreciated.
In reality ii was upon the potential
fighting power of these ships that the
activities of all other naval craft
was based. Throughout the war it
was the grand fleet at Scapa flow or
Whereabouts which controlled the
movements of the enemy ships. 1t
was the sea power vested and latent
in the battleships which exercised the
pressure upon the enemy which kept
the sea routes open to the allies and
kept the German high sea feet in its
defended harbors until the morale of
its personnel was sapped and the
offensive power of that fleet de-
stroyed by inaction.

upon the slow moving but potentially
powerful infantry. Upon ii is based

Of the Service-artillery. cavalry. en-
gineers. aircraft-all. Its masses may
and generally do lie well behind the
advance lines, and not until the neces-
sary preparations have been made by
the advanced forces, which it sup
ports, or the movements of the enc
mys infantry or other conditions
make it necessary or advisable, does
it advance to give battle. Upon the
size and fighting power of the great
masses depends victory or defeat.
similar conditions obtain in the or
ganization and operations of a fleet
The battleship feet represents the in
fantry masses. in which reside the
cruisers and destroyers, the subma-
rines and aircraft, all the various sub
sidiary forces. like those of the army
base their activities upon the battle
feet, which. when the time is oppor-
tune. exerts its full power upon the
enemy. Similar types will meet SINH
lar types, but it is upon the most
powerful type of all, the battleship,
that the decision will depend.
Nothing that occurred during the
world war has served to change the
opinion of the general board as to the
vital Importance in war of the battle
ship; the ship that can at once give
and take heavy blows"
Now that We know the detailed
views of the experienced men of the
American Navy. it is Well to know, for
instance. how the views of England's
naval authorities coincide with them
Here is what Sir Walter Long. first
lord of the admiralty, said to parlia-
ment on the subject:
There has been some criticism of
the maintenance in commission of the
present type of vessels. especially in
regard to the capital ship. A con-
trary policy has been openly advo-
Gated. this policy being based, it is
presumed on the idea that the bat
tleship is dead and that submersible
and air vessels are the types of the
future. The naval staff has examined

! THIS question wtti, extreme care. ard
as result we profoundly dissent
from these views
In our opinion the capital ship re-
mains the unit on which sea power
is built up
so far from the late war having
! shown that the capital ship is doomed.
1T has on The contrary proved the
necessity for that type. On the Ger
man side the whole of the submarine
campaign against merchant vessels
; was built up on the power of the
high sea fleet. on the British side
the enemy submarines IN no way in
terfered with the movements of capt.
! tai ships in carrying out operations.
destroyer screens. new methods of at
tack and altered tactical movements
defeated the submarine.
"\-oR at present could the board
of admiralty subscribe TO the
statement that aircraft have doomed
! the capital ship. Aircraft are GER
tainly of the highest Importance in
naval tactics. as regards reconna;s-
sance. torpedo attacks and artillery
observation. but their role in present
circumstances is that of an auxiliary
ana not of a substitute for the capital
ship. The past history of this uues-
ton must be taken into account: many
times has the doom of the battle
ship been pronounced. The introduc-
tion of torpedo craft was believed in
certain quarters over twenty years
ago to have settled its fate. The
board OF admiralty at the time re
fused to be carried away by the at
tractiveness of the idea of building
small. cheap torpedo craft instead of
battleships. and they proved to be
right History has shown that the
rnf yfaf faNt1 of IL Ia.
capital ship has been quickly fol-
lowed by the evolution of counter
measures which sustain it's power.
I'VE. therefore. believe that the bat
teship must remain the principal
unit. and that the fleet tactics and
tactical training must be carried out
with the battle squadron as the main
unit. Nevertheless. it must he en-
phasized that although the batteship
remains, its type may require to be
altered. Advances in electricity. in
the internal combustion engine and in
science generally will inevitably ne
cessitate an eventual change of type.
and it is one of the principal functions
of the naval staff to keep continuous
watch on scientific development, with
the object of insuring that the type
of capital ship design meets the re-
quirements of the future. 1t is even
possible that the present battleship
will change to one of semi-submersi-
BILE type. or even of a flying type. but
such types are visions of the far fu-
ture, not practical propositions of the
moment By gradual evolution and de-
velopment the types forecasted may
arrive. but the immediate abandon
ment of the capital ship in favor of
a visionary scheme of aircraft and
submarines. would leave the British
nation destitute of sea power and
without the means of progressive
training. --s
I'VE therefore believe that the bat
tleship must remain the principal
unit"
1t will thus be seen that the leading
American and English naval authori-
ties are practically in perfect accord
as to the paramount Importance of
battleships. ID; Sid
