THE SUBMARINE
OVER-RATrD WEAPON
NEVER WOULD BE MISSED
British Official Wireless^
(Beceived 17th February, 11 a.m.)
RUGBY; 16th February. Discussing the future of the submarine the naval correspondent of the "Observer" maintains that as a naval weapon it ia over-rated and that as the result of secret anti-submarine devices developed since the war it is reduced almost to impotence. Neither on the surface nor below can the submarine move without being detected and located with almost uncanny accuracy. The correspondent contends that from the purely utilitarian point of view all navies would benefit by tho abolition of the submarine. Us day is practi-
cally over and the money spent on maintaining underwater flotillas might well bo devoted to more useful cr;ift or better still, kept in the taxpayers' pocket.
