The oil engine would have done it, the engine which would yet revolu- tionize commerce and alter sea warfare.
Lord Fisher says that he re-enters the arena very reluctantly; but what was meant for privacy must be published to help economy. Drastic scrapping was as necessary as very life itself, as the nation condemns the "criminal foily of a silly crowd" who want the British Navy dispersed to the world. He says that the massacre of the Pegasus at Zanzibar was due to this absurd policy of isolated small craft in peace time. He deplores the fact that the mission of the battle cruiser was totally unappreciated till the Invincible sank von Spee's squadron. The Goeber, and the Breslau escaped because the battle cruisers in the Mediterranean were not used. If they had gobbled up the Goeben and the Breslar there would have been no Gallipoli and the Baltic would have been occupied. Berlin would have been captured by the Russians landing covered by the British Fleet. But the most striking feature of the pre war period was the ridicule cast on the submarine.
