.P|LANS FOR PROTECTING
THE AMERICAN COAST
Large Fleet of Power Craft Avail
able and Others Would
Build Rapidly.

Approximately $500 power craft OF
various types are available for duty as
scout patrols about American harbors,
according to figures in possession of
the Navy Department OF these, $50
boats have been surveyed and formally
enrolled in the new scout patrol serv-
ice, 1000 others are known to meet the
full requirements of the service for
which they would be needed and the
remainder are designated as second
rate but nearly all of them could per-
form some wartime duty.
Fleet of Submarine Chasers.
The department expects TO complete
plans this week for two new types of
boats to be used as submarine chasers.
They will be big and fast enough to
form the outer line of the patrol MAIN
tanning themselves at sea for two
weeks or more These vessels will be
for war purposes only, and Will be con-
structed of wood in order TO leave the
steel workers and supply free for
heavier ships Small boat builders on
all coasts will be able TO take part in
the construction campaign if it is be-
gun and automobile companies can
quickly furnish engines.
Rapid Turnout Possible.
II is estimated that within two
months after work begins vessels of
this type can be turned out completed
at rate of probably twenty-five or
thirty boats day and with the pro-
duction increasing. Standard engine
and boat plans will permit maximum
speeding up of this construction.
