BATTLESHIP is STILL
SUPREME IN FLEET
Development of Aircraft Has but
Added to Compaexity of
Naval Welfare.

Washington.-"The battleshfp is still
the backbone Of the fleet and the bHl--
wark of the nations defense. The air.
plane has added to the dangers to
which battleships are exposed, but has
not made the battleshfp obsolete. The
development of aircraft has but add
ed to the cOmplexity of naval warfare"
This, in effect, is a summary of the
report to the secretaries of war and
navy by the joint board on the bomb
Ing tests held recently off the Virginia
Capes. The report gives the airplanes
and airShipS full credit for perform
ing splendid work in the tests, but in
sists that the development so far of
air aircraft has not furnished even an
economical instrument Of war leading
to the abolition of the battleships The
report is signed by General Pershing
as senior member of the board.
In this connection, however, the
board says: aircraft carrying high
capacity high explosive bombs of suf-
ficient size can sink or seriously dam
age any naval vessel at present con-
structed provided such proiectiles can
be placed in the water close alongside
the vessel
Furthermore. it will be difficult, II
not impossible. to build any type of
vessel of sufficient strength to with
stand the destructive force that can
be. obtained with the largest bombs
that airplanes may be able 70 carry
from shore bases
The report adds that 1.-The aviation
and ordnance experiments have proved
that it has become imperative as a
matter of national defense to provide
for the development of aviation.
'They have proved also the neces-
sity for aircraft carriers Of the maxi
mum size and speed to supply our fleet
with the offensive and defensive power
which aircraft provide. 1t Is likewise
essential that anti-aircraft armament
be developed"
