DEEP DIVING BY SUBMARINES.
American Vessel's Claim.
WAR "RECORD."

A new
What is claimed to 'be submarine record for the United States Fleet hus ((states a Reuter message
from Portsmouth, Now Hampshire) been set up by the Sub- marine VG, also known Is the Nautilus, which reached a depth of 336 feet below the surface.
Submarine VG is me of the two Peet submarines' of the Cruiser type laid down at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in 1927, says the Morn ing Post Naval Correspondent. Three more of these submersible cruisers have been authorised.
The displacement of V 6 on the surface in 2,700 toms, and in diving trim 3,960 tons. This implies that for diving she admits, and for sur- facing she discharges, 1,200 tons of: water-a capacity for obtaining,
and handling ballast (the vital need
of airships and submarines alike) that must make an airship Com. mander's mouth water.
This submarine carries one Gin. gun and six 2lin, to torpedo tubes, has a speed of 17 knots, and cost £1.592,500. She is thus, in all main
essentials,, "reply" to our OWB Submarine X 1, though V 6's arma- ment and speed are somewhat less.
It is interesting to note that a flotilla of these hage and costly submarines is being formed
in
America at the time that we are pausing to consider whether these vessels are worth while.
Submarine K 26, our sole remain ing large steam cruiser submarine, has lately, it may be remembered, been placed upon the wale list.
