A Description of the Allied Submarine Chasers Both on Sea and in the Air
CHAPTER XI
THE NEW SUBMARINE CHASERS
It is the boast of Germany that she will win the present war by sinking not only all of the ships of the Allies, but those of any other country which may trade with them.
Now, the United States demands the freedom of the seas for every American citizen and for every ship that flies the stars and stripes and to make good this demand is what brought us into the war.
If Germany could destroy all of the merchantmen of the Allies—and we are now one of them—as she wants to do, she would doubtless be the victor. She hopes to but will never be. The blockade by her submarines is growing more and more serious and many plans and schemes have been put forth to outwit, offset, or to break it down by destroying her destroyers.
