A marine authority close to British shipping says light 4 to 6 pound guns manned by trained gunners have been the most effective against submarines. He notes submarines must broadside for hits, and deck guns from steamers at 200 to 300 yards can finish a periscope target, with several subs reportedly sunk in a day.
