Great Britain has a brand new nary made up of 35b "submarine chasers" built secretly by the Submarine Boat company on the St
river Battleships have been abandoned, and It is definitely known that Great Britain L# building no more* of them The submarine chafer has taken
their place and the builders believe the scores of German submarines now at work around the British Isles will soon he driven aw ax.
The contract taken by the American corporation was for the construction of 560 chasers in 550 dax s. and the last lot was recelxed in Great Britain
Just before the new- German ruthless warfare began
These submarine chasers are 90 feet long. 12 feet beam and draw but 414 feet of water, therebv making torpedo attack ineffective With 500
horsepower in their motor* they attain a speed of 22 miles an hour and can iurn in their own length The intensive, quick "stabbing" attack of these
boats, mounting 3 inch rapid-fire guns (13 pounders! on their forward decks, has been the dominant factor of the antisubmarine defense Their
cruising radius is 700 miles at 22 mllea per hour and 1.500 miles at 14 miles per hour, manned by 10 offices and men Their sea keeping qualities are
such a* to allow for a sea patrol of 10 days duration.
