PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 25.— The glant submarine V-2 returned to the navy yard here last night, hav- ing navigated at 220 feet, a record depth for vessels of her class. - Her commanding officer reported that the submersion test conducted off Prov- jncetown vesterday had been extreme- ly successful and that the submarine handled perfectly. The only casualty was a burst pipe, which collapsed un- der the heavy pressure. This was Lieut. Comdr. George A. Rood’'s account to the Assoclated Press: “We got away from Provincetown jat 7 a.m., and ran out to a point about 22 miles to the northward. We then made a,quick dive of 50 feet, adjusted the hallast and went to 110 feet, where the ballast again was adjusted. This Wwas necessary on account of the com- pression of the water against the hull, which decreased the buoyancy of the ship and was the equivalent of mak- ing it heavier. “Then the vessel went to 215 feet, the ballast was once more adjusted, and we ran for half an hour at five knots, at depths ranging from 215 to 220 feet. The V-1 by the way. went to 204 feet, so ours was a record for V- class submarines.

The V-2 made a hurried run back to Portsmouth after her teat because a few of the officers and men, 88 in all, were suffering from influenza. It was believed their condition was not serious. Navy men recalled that the greatest depth ‘ever reached by an American submarine was 315 feet, but this was by accldent. Lieut. Comdr. Lewls Hancock, Jr. took the IL.4 to that depth in the Irish Sea during the war, when something went wrong with the ballast. He survived the ex- perience. but was killed in the crash of the dirigible Shenandoah in Ohio last September.
