PREFACE
ix
stress is laid upon the effectiveness of the small speedy
surface craft as a defense against the submarine. The
successful employment of these light craft is, however, re-
stricted to the conditions set forth in the chapter on
defense, and its effectiveness is really more moral than
physical, since the deck of one of these little craft affords
a very poor gun platform from which to shoot with accu-
racy. Our own submarines acting off our own coasts
have not much to fear from this type of opponent, but
rather would have them to act in consort with.
The Author wishes to express his thanks to both the
Electric Boat Company and the Lake Torpedo Boat Com-
pany for the many excellent photographs which they
furnished him.
