What reading level is The Submarine in War And Peace; Its Developments And Its Possibilities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A two and one- half -million-dollar boat for the defence of harbor entrances or seacoast cities would not carry as many torpedoes as five of the five-hundred-ton boats. A torpedo fired from a small boat is fully as potent as one fired from a two and one-half- million-dollar boat.
197 THE SUBMARINE IN WAR AND PEACE These small boats could be located at five different points covering a portion of our coast, and the chances are that at least two of these smaller boats could reach an objective poin...t on the coast line under their protection in shorter time than one large high-speed boat would be able to do. At the same cost they could cover the same area of coast line to a much better advantage, as there would be five of them to protect that area instead of one.
We will assume, for purposes of illustration, that the Sandy Hook entrance to New York Harbor is to be defended.
If we strike a fifteen-mile radius from Sandy Hook point, running from the Long Island to the New Jersey shore, and have four submarines take station on that radius line about five miles apart, no ship could pass that radius line without coming within the range of vision of the commander of the submarine, either from his periscope in daylight or at night within the range of hearing of his " submarine ears." The Fessenden oscillators, or microphones, now installed in all submarines, would readily detect the approach of a surface ship or ships.
