Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): She Is a Mother to Busy Little Submarines; Caption: British naval experte designed this ship to watch over submarines and to carry their supplies. The big steel "blisters" at each side are filled with water to ward off torpedo attacks. If a torpedo strikes these "blisters" and tears them open, no harm is done, since they are filled with water. Therefore the buoyancy of the vessel is not affected in the least. The big vessel, lazy as she looks, is not strictly a fighter. Still, in the event of having to protect herself, she has a number of small guns mounted above and below deck, although they are invisible
