Br the Assomrated Poss Greater safety for submarine crews { must be found inside not outside. the submersibles themselves. in the judg- ment of the Government's most experi- enced submarine designors. Already, they declare, American undersca boats have inherent factors of safety little realized by the public, which have only a narrow margin for improvement on the basis of any scien- | tific facts now known ! Fully 90 per cent of the 2,500 sugges- tions for safety devices received since | th> S-4 went down off Provincetown, | Mass.. last month. with 40 men. have to do with outside assistance and give little or no consideration to the extremely complex calculations which enter into o construction and operation of sub- marines. Many would add weight to th» top of the ship. increasing the dan- ger of capsizing. which, although an ever-present likelihood with this type of vessel. has never materialized Officers familiar with the construc- tion and operation difficulties are con- cerned primarily with the development of means for the men in a sunken submarine to save themselves and, if | possible, their ship. Experience l‘fi(‘ | taught them that this is about the only | hope after a diving boat goes down dis- abled. They are convinced that. with ;the possible exception of the S-4. in which case the question is still in douht i no safety devices not already incorpor- 'ated in the submarines could have re- duced the loss of life in the threc major disasters in this service in the last v cears Would Sacrifice Force. It is possible. thev concede. to mak~ submarines which are much safer ships for the men in them. Not way has been found. however. to achieve th: near approach to perfection in safe provision without an unjustifiable sacri- i fice of the submarine’s effectiveness as a military weapon. which obviously :s the only reason for building it As one officer phrases it. “in con- sidering any device for use on sub- marines, it must be clearly a device of large and general value and not simply ! limited to the c: | course. one which may possibly. cumstances, prove of value, because in in certain cir- | IFRENCHMEN MAKE - NEW ORLEANS HOP ‘Cosles and Lebrix Arrive | Safely in 1,000-Mile Trip From Mexico. the submarine you can add to one par: | only at the expense of another.” Nevertheless. the construction ex- perts are not willing to say that it is impracticable to make submarines sater. On the contrary. they strive to make cach new ship safer than its predecessor. The submarine, the most congested margin _of _buoyaney they point out, is ship made. Its is practically pacity of its ballast tanks. which are filled to submerge and emptied fto rise to the surface. while its margin of stability—the ex- tent to which its own center of gravity is below that of the water displaced by its hull-is only about a third as ar as can be provided for surface ships oi the same weight. Therefore. cach pound added to its weight for any pur- pose must be compensated for. ‘either by subtraction of a pound somewhere else or by increasing the e of the ship to provide the necessary additional buovancy. Every increase in size, of involves the addition of further weight which itself has to be com- pensated for. Solely Despite these and other highly tech- nical considerations, the modery sub- marine contains many parts which were put there for no other purpose thar the protection of the crew The hull has been strengthened to with- <tand the sea pressure at a depth of 300 feet, milirary reason to dive more than 100 feet. Bulkheads have been instalied to divide the ship into water-tight com- partmerts. Outside pipes are instalied in the ballast tanks for the divers. Reserve tanks of compressed air are carried. A special tank is in- corporated to prevent disaster when the | conning tower is broken. Soda lime prevents the accumulation of deadly quantities of carbon dioxide gas. perhaps half a hundred other devices and arrangements. each requiring weizht and space. are provided solely for_increased safety of operation for Protection.
