DISCUSSION 
R. N. Newton (Admiralty Experiment Works) 
We should all be grateful to Dr. Todd for presenting what seems to me to constitute the 
_ most comprehensive review of this popular topic, to date. He has dealt with almost every 
aspect of the general problem and I would like merely to place more emphasis on some of 
the points which he has made and which militate against the opinion, frequently expressed, 
that submarine tankers offer great advantages in the commercial field.
