Memorandum from Charles O’Neil to William H. Moody
The recommendation that every armored vessel currently under construction or built in the future be outfitted with at least one submerged torpedo tube is under review. The Board of Construction is investigating the addition of torpedo tubes to the ships currently being built. The Naval Gun Factory has been directed to manufacture twenty tubes. A report will soon be available outlining what can be done, the cost, and a timeline for completion.
