Powers bear a remarkable simil- arity in their size and general effectiveness in warfare, Thoy are for the most part equipped with Diesel engines of a total power in the neighbourhood of 2,000 b.b.p. on twin screw 3, except that in the case of one or two of the later French boata steam turbines are to be installed In each country, however, urgent of perhaps slightly greater power. attempts are being made to evolve auccessful Diesel engines for submarine propulsion of much greater power than those which have hitherto been employed. The output now aimed at for each motor is 2,500 b.h.p., giving a total of 5,000 h.p. for the boat, with which, it is anticipated, a speed of shout 20. knots on the surface will be attained, as compared with the maximum of 16 knots at present possible, At the same time the." size of the vessels would be much increased, and it is hoped that by proper armoment they would bacume much more important offensive weapons. These larger, engines are actually under con- struction and are not merely papir designs; in some cases for in atance, in France-the boat itself bas actually been laid down.
Too much importance, how
need not be attached to this p as in the case of some of the earlier French submarines it was not until some two or three year after the boat was built that the oil engines were installed, owing to the difficulties that were en- countered in their construction. Bat it is evident that ultimately these engines will be built in a entisfactory manner, and im mediately this is the case, the size of the submarines and their npeed will be increased consider- ably, and their advantages, over the present designs will be so great as to render the existing craft almost obsolete. The oil engine is making headway in other directione than in sub marines. Several countries have now one or two coastal defence gunboate which are driven by oil engines. One of the Istest is a Datoh craft in which a remark- able engine installation has been crried out, consisting of an in- verted V12-oylinder four-cycle engine of the Werkspoor type, driving twin screws, and running at about 350 rpm.
