(Semi-rigid)= Up to date, these vessels have been designed by Major Gross and Oberingenieur Basenach. The utmost secrecy is observed as to their details. The system of employing 2 ballonets has been borrowed from the _Parseval_ type, and presumably the _Parseval_ system of working the automatic valves has also been adopted. In all other features, these ships appear to resemble the French _Lebaudy_ type, the shape of the hulls being rather better.
