New Listening Apparatus Prevents Surprise
(By Telegraph
AUCKLAND, Last Night. Buhmarines had eeased to he the menace they Were in the Great War, largely beeause of the remarkable developments in listening apparatus and the greater speed of surface cx'aft, Said Mr R. J. Grimshaw, a rCCently-retired constructor in the Royai Navy, who ars rxved from England by the Arawa. He added that Great Britain had brought her NaVy and Air Force to a point where she was equipped against almost any emergency. Twenty years ago the submarine Was a deadly weapon, invaluable in an attacking fleet, but the redesigning of destxoyers and cxTiisers, their greater i'leetne&s aid a reorganxsation of tae* tics, had nxxnixnised the worth of underwater craft. Nowadays Britain was desxgring them for use in coastal defences aua general patrol work rather than as Wt-apons of offence.
