A Leviathan Launched

At Chatham was launched the submarine Xl, largest and mightiest undersea boat yet built.

The submarine has a displacement of 3,600 tons (1,400 tons greater than the one-time German U-142). The greatest secrecy is being maintained regarding the vessel. A report is current that she will carry a 13.5-inch gun. The total cost of the new colossus will be in the proximity of one million sterling.
