Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Torpedoes, Offensive and Defensive
Under the comprehensive head of submarine mines is included a vast field for research, in which there is ample space for the development of inventive genius, in connection with the defense of fortified harbors, estuaries of rivers, and the coast generally, a most important subject in a military point of view, and which, affecting as it does the attack of such places from the sea, renders it a consideration of the utmost gravity. The introduction of machines of this nature in war cannot be overlooked with impunity by a great maritime power like Great Britain, possessing, as she does, numerous colonies and an immense commercial navy which, in addition to her own coasts, must be defended in the event of war; and as the employment of submarine mines seems to present such a considerable increase in defensive power, there is every reason to suppose that a judicious use of them would, on an emergency, prove of infinitely greater value to us than to a nation possessing less of the maritime element in its composition.
