THE WORLD'S ADVANCE 



SUBMARINES A CENTER OF ATTRACTION 



Not the least interesting 

 among the many sights for the 

 visitor was the fleet of sub- 

 marines. To the left is seen 

 one of the latest models in our 

 navy. 



To the right may be seen a 

 group of recently remodeled 

 submarine torpedo boats in 

 condition for cruising. The 

 work of vessels of this type 

 in the European war has 

 given the little fighters a de- 

 gree of importance hitherto 

 unattained, and, as a result, 

 the submarine flotilla has 

 been a center of attraction 

 during the review. 



To the left: A group of United 

 States submarines with their 

 mother ship, a vessel of the 

 monitor type. The monitors 

 were originally intended for 

 coast defense work and are 

 capable of being partially sub- 

 merged, although they are in 

 no sense submarine boats. 



To the right: An impressive 

 ine-up of the battleships and 

 dreadnoughts of the United 

 States Navy as far as the 

 eye could reach greeted the 

 visitor.
