 Questions Answered
 Captain Griggs invited those present at the luncheon to ask any questions they wished, but said that everywhere the same questions were asked: Do you submerge in rough weather? How is the air after you submerge? How long do you stay down? What makes the submarine go under?
 He stated that on a cruise with the fleet such as just finished up in June, the submarines do quite bit of diving. Tn the twelve days from San Diego to Panama, dives were made every day. There is no sensation when one dives except that the vessel is on a slight angle. There is sufficient air to last 27 hours, and with chemical agents to absorb carbon dioxide and by utiliz- ing the oxygen supplies, the air will last for 96 hours undersea. The Narwhal and Nautilus have cruising radius of 12,O00 miles and can stay at sea for 75 to go days.
