TYPES OF SUBMARINES 51 diving type is therefore more apparent than real, for it is highly probable that with this broad plane presented to the thrust of the water to aid in overcoming the upward moment of the reserve buoyancy, and, with the smaller stability lever arm inherent in the submersible, the hazard of loss of control is almost as great as it is in the diving boat, unless the submergence of the “even keel” boat be kept within certain small limits of inclination and speed. Neither of these types however, will ever lend themselves to a greatly increased speed under water over that now attained, without the possibility of utter loss of control, attended with more or less dire results. The opposing factors and forces and the attending re- sults may be more clearly understood by referring to the diagrams in Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 2 is shown diagrammatically the hull of a div- ing boat in a position to change trim and with the angle of inclination of six degrees by the head. The forces present and at work are: the reserve buoyancy B, acting upwards; the vertical moment W, of the weight of the vessel acting
