THE "BLIMP" SCCEEDS f
AS A U-BOAT DESTROYER
liitlle DiiiKibte Airsliips Can Spot
Submarine and Stay
With It.
An American, Balloon Ilase In
Kngland, Sept. 2.?The "Blimp" is
the nickname which the American
pilots have given to the little dirigible
airships which are technically
termed "S. S." or submarine scouts.
The gas hag of the blimp is about
lf>? feet long and 30 feet in diameter.
\ The lower structure is virtually
that of a scouting airplane of!
medium power, so that the wholej
effect is that of a sort of a cross be-,
tween airplane and balloon. Thej
crew is usually one pilot and an ob-j
server, and the speeu is about 4 0
miles an hour. .
The cargo is a load of bombs
which work like a destroyer's depth
charges, exploding T>y water pressure
at a depth of 20 to 80 feet. The
carriage contains steering gear,
bomb levers. wireless apparatus,
camera and observation instruments.
Hundreds of blimps are constantly
~wT duty around the coasts of
France and England. American
pilots and observers are Just beginning
to take up this work. It is the
greatest U-boat destroyer In existence,
if the men who work the
blimps are to be believed. One enthusiastic
American who had been
dropping bombs up and down the
Irish sea a month, remarked tojl
the Associated Press correspondent,
"The blimp is not only one of tbe
ways of destroying U-boats; it is the
way."
The advantage that the blimp has
over the seaplane is that It can stand
still in the air. If a U-boat dives
down and lies out of sight on the
bottom, the blimp sits over it until
it decides to move on or come to the
surface. If the submarine does not
move, the blimp is Just as \ ?11 content,
for in the meantime /ireless
had been at work, . :awlers
are coming up in the c? se of an|
hour or two with the necessary
equipment to smoke Mister submarine
out of his hole.
If the submarine rises before
naval help arrives, the blimp tackles
it alone, with bombs. If the submarine
tries to move away along the
bottom of the sea. the blimp follows
its shadow until it comes, sooner or
later to a shallow spot where it can
tie effectively dealt with.
Subject to the blimp's fuffi supply
and its "duration power" in the air,
.'.fur in liilie chance ot escape for aj
U-boat once it has been sighted bv
one of these handy little dirigibles
I The sighting or spotting of the IIboat
is the great difficulty, for the
I ?as around England are large places
"and the range of the individual
blimp is comparatively small.
A larger type of blimp is nr ....
icig used, known technically as h?TJ
C. P. or coast patrol. It carries a'
larger crew and a greater supply of,
fuel and is used for detecting minefields
as well as submarines.
