For these reasons, although Aying craft of the present types were unques tionably most valuable units in that particular operation of defence, the fact that the other vital duties at sea still remained to be performed, and could be performed only by vessels of the swim- ming type, meant that great increases in the air fotilla could not be made at the expense of the surface Best or flotilla.

It was constantly being impressed upon us that a fatal blow at what was figura

livered from the air; and that to guard against it we must increase those forces which alone could give protection-air forces-obtaining the means to 'do so by reducing naval force. The stomach was no less important an organ of the body than the heart. The forces capable of giving defence to that organ were still of the type that navigated on or in the water, for the simple reason that in the present state of knowledgassuch vessels alone were capable of operating in those areas and in the manner in which protes tion could be given. Whatever be the size of the ship potential enemies built, we must possess weapons which could disable them; and, so far as all the evidence we possessed went to show, the only effective weapons were ships mount- ing artillery which could deliver at least as great a volume of fire as their oppon- ents.
