England and America However Attach Little Importance to This Arm of the Service Special Cable to Tie Washington Post London May 10 The Pasts naval correspondent writes Whether tiy an odd coincidence or by a natural sequence of development tne admission by the first lord of the admiralty that the value ol the torpedoboat destroyer Is declining as its functions are being usurped by other vessels was made almost at the same time that a substitute for the destroyer as a torpedocarrler was being suggested by a naval writer in the Quarterly Review Mr Churchill suited that the primary purpose of the destroyer is to clear the seas of an enemys torpedo craft and its secondary purpose to attack the enemys battle fleet by means of the torpedo but both these objects are being pursued by the light cruiser on the one hand and bj the submarine on the other The Quarterly Review shows that the newest torpedoes have an effective range equal to or exceeding tbat of the biggest guns in use and suggests that ships of the pre dreadnought era of little usefrom a gunnery point of view should be converted into torpedo ships the gun turrets being removed and as many torpedo tubes as possible being fitted below a protective deck Ignore Torpedo Development the writer in the Quarterly Review who is a well known authority upon naval affairs In the course of his com mentaiy upon current naval thought as revealed in the pages of recently published literature draws attention to the omission even on the part of so distinguisheddistinguished an officer as Admiral Sir Reginald Ciistance to give due consideration to the great development of the torpedo lie quotes Capt Mark Kerr RN now commanding the battleship Hercules as stating that a foreign power possessed a tomedo of 12000 yards range This is about the effective range of the heaviest guns in the latest battleships The ranges being thus approximately equal should not the torpedo tubes in the battleship be Increased Other Countries Are Alert That some powers think it should is lear from the decision of the Japanese to equip their four new battle cruisers ntt Anlfronriner the naval authb rltl ear ad his conclusions and

this respect Until the advent of the new torpedoes of Zl lnch diameter vitb a length of 22 feet and an effective range of 10000 yards it sfa4inati toi invnpdn has disnlaced the gun in thison noction and the Quarterly Review asks how the situation can be turned to our advantage Utilizing Obsolete Pre Dreadnoughts He notes that British pre dreadnoiight battleships are larger faster and better protected than their contemporaries In most foreign navies but being obsolescent frorov a gunnery standpoint they would be scrapped as modern ships replace them Yet their roomy space below the armored deck might be utUI Jed to provide them with a number of submerged 21 Inch torpedo tubes enabling them to supplement the attack of the heavy guns in the latest battleship at long ranges These converted pre dreadnoughs would retain a battery of quick firing guns for defense against hydro aeroplanes dirigibles and small totpedo craft but the removal of their heavier guns would enable the thickness of the armored deck and of the conning tower to be doubled rendering them capable of withstanding an enemys gun tire at the same time that it enabled them to develop their torpedo attack Battleships Are Hore Effective The Quarterly Review agrees with the first lord that the torpedo boat destroyer is redundant his view being that battleships can do its work better Only vessels witia considerable beam will be able to fire the latest torpedoes and moreover as compared with the battleship the field of vision of the destroyer which lies so much lower in the water is limited preventing it from making the best use of the increased range Whatever may be thought of the proposals of the writer in the Quarterly Review he exhibits a close acquaintance with the problems at pres the heroes second is
