Transcriber's Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
On pages 37-51, the original uses "depot." On pages 103 and 104, it uses
"depot." This was retained.
Page 4, number 5 was missing from the list.
Page 63, FIG. 3., "Hydrophone" changed to "Hydroplane" as it seems to
make more sense in this situation (Hydroplane hull, so constructed)
Page 76, "oral" changed to "aural" (aural experience estimated)
Pages 97, 98, 115, 125 twice,138, the designation of the size of the gun
was originally printed using a high-dot. As that cannot be replicated
here, it has been replaced with a decimal. (with a 4.7 quick-firing)
(masked 4.7-inch guns) (shielding the 4.7 gun) (causes was 0.82) (only
0.58 per cent.) (of a 4.7-inch gun)
Page 152, "he" changed to "the" (to the ordinary mine)
Page 185, "bteween" changed to "between" (submarine got between the)
Page 269, "tinging" changed to "tingeing" (tingeing the still
boisterous)
Page 270, "fore-peak" changed to "forepeak" to match rest of text. (The
forepeak or bow)
Page 287, "auti" changed to "anti" (of the anti-submarine fleets)
