quote from the formerly confidon- tial pamphlet regarding U.S. Submarine 0-12, now Nautilus, as follows:

RADIUS OF ACTION.-Normal, Rurface at 10.99 knots, 3,634 miles;; maximum surface at 10.99 knots, 2,326 miles; total normal fuel ei! capacity. 33.74 tonx: reserve fuel capacity, 31.29 tons; total fuet capacity, 65.03 tons.

The capacity of the new Exido battery; as shown by test, and expressed in horne-power, is as follows:

to

36 horse-power for 50 hours; 50 horse-power for 36 hours; 58 horse-power for 20 hours: 160 horme-power for 10 hours; 407 horse-power for 3 hours; 827 horse-power for 1 hour. The horse-power required drive the Nautilus at a speed of three

ree knots submerged is about 40 horse-power. The new design is much better stream-lfhed than the old 0-12, and with new propellers, specially designed for slow speed. we may reasonably assume that the Nautilus's submerged radius fut a speed of three kuota will be about 125 miles. Hence, 1 fear that Admiral Rodman was mis- informed when he stated that the submerged radius would be only 60

miles at two knots.

Fifty Miles a Day.

I believe the Nautilus can make good each day 50 miles toward her destination, with a daily fuel ex- renditure of not exceeding 1.11 tons, which is the amount of fuel required to charge her battery,
