- Abstract
"The French submarine boat Morse is said to have attained a speed of 12.32 knots. This, says Le Yacht, means that she can be depended upon for a speed of 10 knots, against the 8 knots of the Gustave Zede. With reference to the other French submarines, the Minister of Marine, in the discussion on the Budget, stated that the reasons for the delay in building the Triton and Sirene, the two boats of the Narval type, were that in the case of new types of vessels improvements always suggested themselves, and that the designer of the Narval wished to take advantage to the utmost of these improvements in building the new boats."
