1t fell to Admiral Taylor to de
sign ships which cut the water
instead of rolling it majestically
aside in q huge wave.
Changed Worlds Navies
1t took years of painstaking
experimentation in a cramped
testing pool in Washington. The
plan he evolved was called the
dubious bow. To the inexpert
eye it looked as if putting a big
bulge on the lower part of a
ships bow would raise even a
bigger wave ahead than would a
knife edge. Taylor proved it
would not. Every modern de-
stroyer, battleship and cruiser
now has the dubious bow" de-
sign he worked out.
Specializing of ships was not
his only contribution to naval de-
signing. He put the u. S. navy in
the lead of other navies for a
time by center lining the firing
turTets. Old line battleships
balanced their gun turrets on
opposite sides of the ships.
