Great Britain has seventy-five submarines (more, possibly). There are eight 'F.s'; one 'S.' Fiat S.G. type; eleven 'E.s'; seven 'D.s'; one other 'D'; eight 'C.s'; twelve other 'C.s'; one other 'D'; seven other 'C.s', ten other 'C.s'; ten 'B.s'; and eight 'A.s.' These craft date from 1904 to 1913. The 'F' class have a maximum surface speed of 20 knots and a submerged speed of 12 knots. The importance of the submarine in modern naval warfare is, of course, obvious.
