FIG. 10. A MODERN SUBMARINE OF THE K CLASS, U. S. NAVY.
The Holland Submarine.—The Holland undersea boat is a real submarine, for it can dive. The hull of this boat looked more like a whale with its tail twisted up than like a boat, as you will see in [Fig. 9].
The Combined Holland and Lake Types.—The shape of the Holland submarine makes it a good undersea boat; the Lake submersible has a large deck and roomy quarters, and its shape makes it good for surface going. The result is that naval architects have combined the two types so that the new model submarines have the advantages of the older types and are without their disadvantages.
