Submarine Mines and Torpedoes: As Applied to Harbour Defence (Classic Reprint)

4.9/5 (34330 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Submarine Mines and Torpedoes: As Applied to Harbour Defence Many other authorities have been quoted and are duly acknowledged in the text. My own inventions connected with submarine mining are perhaps noticed too prominently, but it was necessary to illustrate the various and necessary contrivances by some special patterns, and it not unfrequently occurred that I was compelled to describe my own patterns or none at all, the Government gear being treated as secret and confidential. For a similar reason, it being impossible to indicate the defects of our service arrangements with precision, I have been compelled to attack their intricacy in general terms only. On matters connected with the personnel and the purchase of stores, however, it has been possible to go into detail; and if some of the remarks appear to be harsh, my excuse must be that the subjects required it. Minced language is not a desirable form of expression when the writer believes that the efficiency of an important item in National Defence is at stake.
