- Abstract
"Sir - In your Dockyard Notes of the current issue you give the names of several proposed American submarine boats, Adder, Shark, &c.; remarking that they are mostly appropriate enough, but asking, why Mocassin? Perhaps your contributor was thinking of that term merely as the name of Indian foot gear, but it also denotes the Mocassin snake, and is therefore just as fitting as the other."
