Salmon submarine eclipses Papin in open sea voyage
English submarines of similar size to the Salmon made a coastwise Dover to Dundee run of 612 miles. The French Papin logged 1,200 miles along the coast, but the Salmon’s voyage was open sea and longer, with a 920 ton displacement versus Papin’s 650 tons. The Salmon, from the Holland lineage, is 185 feet long, 14 feet beam, twin screw, 100 hp gasoline engines, and submerged propulsion by storage batteries. It carries four 17 foot torpedoes, crew of five under actual service conditions, speeds of 14 knots surfaced and 11.5 knots submerged. Modern subs are submerged or submergible types with distinct hulls and ballast systems. Historical note traces early submarine experiments from Delpeuch to Drebbel and others, with 1462 MacClintock/Howgate boat and later European advances leading to World War I era designs.
