Shipping losses and vessel speeds under wartime torpedo risks
A. E. Curtis in the New York Tribune argues that wartime destruction mostly hits older slow vessels, not modern fast ships. He notes that the 3,000,000 tons built yearly nearly match the 6,000,000 tons lost, and that faster ships from White Star, American, Leyland, Red Star, and Atlantic Transport show far fewer sinkings. He contends England faces no starvation unless destruction among faster classes rises markedly, and that a few fast ships remain at relatively low risk with proper precautions.
