under water was suggested by the
steady development OF the bombing
plane. The air service OF both the

vinced Of the theory that the time
was approaching when a battleship
could not escape from the unerring
accuracy and deadly destruction Of
bombs dropped from airplanes.
While not willing publicly to ad-
nit that the battleship as at pres
ent constituted has outliVed its use
fulnessi naval officials recognized
the fact that the hattleship would
have to he endowed with new ply
sical characteristics II it were to
survive.
1t was agreed that the sub
mersibfe battleship' was the one
solution. Within reasonable bounds
there was no limit to the size Of
hattleships and battle cruisers
Conversely. II was found that there
was no limit to the size 70 which
submarines might he built. The
only problem involced was the mat
ter of stability. both on the surface
and submerged 1t was therefore
upon this question that naval eT-
perts concentrated. with the result
that the problem was soon solved.
How It was solved is, OF course,
