They are convin ed that, with the possible excep- tion of the S-4, in which case the question is still in doubt, no safo- ty devices not already incorpor- ated in the submarines could have reduced the loss of life in th: three major disasters in thiy service in the last ten years. It is possible, they concede, to make submarines which are much safer ships for the men in them. No way has been found, howeve®, to achieve that near approach lo perfection in safety provisions without an' umjustifiable sacrifice of the submarine’s effectivene as a military weapon, which ob- viously is the only reason for building it. As one officer phrasus it, it must be clearly a device of large and general value and not simply one which may possibly, in certain circumstances, prove of value, because in the submari you can add to one part only at the expense of another.
