A newly developed, highly resist ant metal makes possible the great CT diving depth of the new craft, and at the same time allows con- struction of submarines consider ably smaller in actual size but de- cidedly more effective.
 These facts were revealed here when the U. s. s. Tarpon, newest member of the navy's submarine force docked here, to join the flotilla Of grim-looking, ebony hued fighters.
 Heretofore no submarine has been capable of descending to a depth of much more than 300 or 400 feet with safety. Although the Tarpon and sister ships, now under construction. or undergoing final tests, never have descended to 600 foot depth. off, cers and men aboard the craft are confident they could withstand such a dive If necessity required"
 Quarter Inch HuIls
 The newly developed metal, with It's greater tensile strength and higher degree of durability, has made 1t possible to construct the new heet-type submarines with a hull only one-quarter of an inch thick compared to two inches neces- sary with former types steel, it was said.
 Although the 500-foot length is considerably less than that of the U. $. s, Nautilus, which boasts O. outstanding performance records. the U. s. S. Tarpon is even more efficient than the larger craft, and carries considerably smaller crew.
 A crew of 50 men and five off, cers operate the Tarpon. Numer- ous newly developed automatic con- trls make the reduction in per- sonnel possible, according to Lieut.. J. O'Shea, engineering officer of the submarine. Details of the new metal as well as the controls are closely guarded navy secrets.
 Smaller size has not made the Tarpon prey to heavy seas. and she's as stable as an ocean liner" Lieut.. OShea said, in commenting on the cruising ability of the craft, which recently completed the long voyage from the east coast alone.
 Six other submarines, of the Tarpon class, now are nearing com pletion-the Perch, Plunger, Pick eral, Pompano, Pollack and Permit. Another six will be completed dur ing the fiscal year starting July l. the Salmon, Seal, Skipjack, Snapper, Stingray and Sturgeon.
 Silent on Reported Defects
 Officers aboard the Tarpon re- fused to discuss reports carried in the Army and Navy Register, semi officially publication, which told Of mechanical defects uncovered in the generators of the main pro- polling plant of their vessel, and , three sister subs, the Shark, Por- poise and Pike.
 It was said discovery of these defects, during shakedown cruises and trial runs would keep the new submarines on reduced operating status until they are overcome.
 The submarines Cachalot and Cuttlefish now are in the Mare Island navy yard, undergoing over- hauling prior to being reengined during June.
 During the fiscal year 1888 the submarine force of the navy will be increased to 48 undersea fight CTS, 1t was said, the majority of which are comparatively new, mod ern, and among the most powerful craft of their type in the world.
