The following sentence concerning the view of the Admirality in relation to submarines is not so easy to justify: "Members of the Admiralty who had considered submarines to be mere "toys" no longer expressed that opinion after this event."

I propose discussing the fact that the Admirality suppressed the extent of the losses to prvent loss in public faith of the Fleet.
