Sinossi
Excerpt from Bulletin of the New York Public Library, Vol. 22: January 1918
The destiny of the submarine is as yet but little understood by the casual reader; at the present time its introduction into the art of warfare has caused it to be condemned by many, while others look upon it as a means Of defense against or a means of destroying overwhelming sea power and, perhaps, think it may be utilized to assist in extending domination over other peoples when combined with military supremacy on land. I think those who use it for any illegitimate purpose will eventually see their error.
Submarine inventors have, from the earliest days, considered the sub marine boat as a means to advanced knowledge Of things beneath the surface Of the seas, to recover and restore to the use Of mankind many of the things that have gone to the bottom Of the sea in ships, and also to recover the natural products of the sea, in the nature Of shell fish, sponges, coral, pearls, and to reach mineral and other deposits heretofore inaccessible and unavailable to the people. The introduction of the submarine in war will eventually prove a benefit to all Of the smaller and less powerful nations, as the submarine is undoubtedly able to of fer to any nation the greatest degree Of security for the least expenditure Of money in the defense of its coast line.
