 150 feet. 



Armament, 3 Whitehead torjjcdo tir- 

 ing tubes. 



Means of sul>merging, o. Admitting 

 water ballast, suljmerging with the use of 

 hydroplanes, and hauling down to the 

 bottom or to any desired depth by anchor 

 weights. 



Means of coming to the surface. 4. 

 Discharging water ballast by either com- 

 pressed air, power or hand pumps; by 

 the hydroplanes, when under way; by 

 lowering the anchor weights and by re- 

 leasing the drop keel.

 dition. 



Capability of steering long and correct 

 courses. 



Automatically controlling depth of 

 submerging. 



Means forcutting caVjles and for mining 

 and countermining purposes. 



A water-tight superstructure affording 

 deck space and sufficient buoyancy to 

 make her seaworthy and also afford 

 space for storage of fuel, air tanks, etc. 



Automatic drop keel and other auto- 

 matic features to prevent submerging 

 below a safe depth.
