Admiral de Bon argues submarines will be decisive in modern war, citing their impact at Dardanelles and against merchant ships. He says submarines can threaten enemy commerce, defend coasts, and may evolve with bigger airship threats, while warning against strict tonnage limits that could impede submarine progress. He notes Germany’s submarine campaign initially sought moral impact, then material results, and predicts further advances in underwater, surface, and air warfare.
