Rear Admiral Albert W. Grant told the House Naval Committee that coast defense submarines should be abandoned in favor of 800 to 1000 ton class boats. He cited German U boats displacing 800 tons and operating far from base, arguing larger boats with 20 knot speed are needed for extended operations.
