By Quarterback

pundits have missed. It carries far -
One of the ablest authorities in the
United States declares:
There will never, again be in naval
history one of the simon-pure naval
expeditions carried across the sea to
an enemy's port, the defeat of an
enemy's feet, the establishment of an
advance base on his coast and the
pouring in of soldiers and supplies.
This has been forever rendered i'm
possible against any country that has
adequate air and submarine forces"
And again:
"If I were king / would substitute
airplane Carriers for at least half the
battleships IN the building program"
Referring to the three-plane navy:
at is really astonishing that men
with the training of naval officers
can fail to see the logic Of the argu-
ments in favor Of the three-plane navy,
particularly in favor of air forces.
There is no hoodwinking the fact that
if the air forces can do what they now
claim, not to mention what they be-
lieve they will accomplish in the i'm
mediate future, the battleship will have
to stay away from them entirely"
Importance Of Air Po,cer
1t has been stated to the writer upon
the best authority that in testimony by
off hofN ko
mittees of Congress It was admitted
that "our feet, as it stands, cannot
operate against feet that has supe-
rior air forces" Commenting upon this
the authority continues:
Therefore an enemy fleet having
superior air forces would defeat our
fleet by destroying the big ships-and
taking his time about it."
"That is, air forces Gin command of
the "air) can destroy battleships, while
battleships (not in command of the
air) can do nothing against air forces
except relieve their nervous strain
by wasting ammunition shooting at
them"
"If We keep on building battleships
and our future enemy builds a great
air force ashore and afloat she will
tell US where to get off, and we will
have to get off"
The only way to refute these con-
clusions Is to claim, as some actually
do:
a. Planes never can be success
fully launched from and landed on
carriers.
"2. Planes cannot drop bombs on q
moving ship.
"3. Anti-aircraft guns can always
shoot down planes before they get
in position to drop their bombs.
~. The fleet can protect itself by
smoke screens.
"These and similar arguments are the
only ones, and they are all unsound
and are getting unsounder every day."
No Fleet Air Force
1t has been shown that we have,
properly speaking, no fleet air force.
Our fleet cannot command the air
above itself while cruising at sea nor
while at anchor in a base on foreign
coast. With a gallant personnel that
has proud record of accomplish
ment there are no airplane carriers
to place the force where it can act
Extensively or defensively with the
feet at sea. One makeshift 14-knot
carrier is under construction. It is
pitifully inadequate. At least three
years will be required to huild carriers

A Purely Defensive Nary

This brings US squarely up against
stone wall Of brutal facts = the
United States fleet constituted as it is.
and as it will be for three years to
come, cannot cross the Atlantic or the
Pacific to engage successfully in war
against an enemy that commands the
air and the sub-surface of the sea. We
have built our feet anu our hopes upon
one idea, upon one plane, and the log
ical result is that our fleet cannot en-
gage in overseas war against an enemy
who has built his feet, wisely, upon
three planes. Under such conditions
our navy must stay at home. 1t is
powerless to take the offensive in
modern war. 1t is a purely defensive
navy.

Our Fleet in War Ouerseas


What can our battle fleet do in war
overseas under the conditions exist
ing in 1921 and in the years to come
How. far from its homo coast can it
go, how long can it stay away and what
can it do extensively against the navy,
the coast and the commerce of first
class power? These are questions
which naval officers must tackle and be
prepared to answer. The people Of the
United States may wish to know.
Let Us bring the matter straight
home. We have to-day strong sur
face navy of battleships and modern
destroyers. The 1913 building pro-
gram provides for lar.e additions Of
bsttleships and cruisers. If all of these
ships are completed we shall have the
most powerful surface navy in the
history Of the world. Slt this sur
face armada is now, and will be for
not less than three years TO come, un-
supported and unprotected by sub
marines and air forces that can cruise
with it across the sea. It is a one
plane, one-idea fleet. 1t cannot cope
successfully with fleet which may be
inferior in surface ships but which
includes strong submarine and air
forces. A fleet confined to one plane
cannot win against fleet that operates
on three planes. The surface feet
alone cannot meet or resist simulta-
neous attacks from above and from be-
low. 1t is between two fires which it
cannot return. 1t is like house built
upon the sands.

Facing the cold facts, We are forced
to admit that the United States feet,
totally lacking in air forces and scs-
going submarines, to-day is q stsy-as
home feet in war against three-plane
navy. 1t is stamped with the dates
1S14-'16. It's ships and guns are big
ger than those of 1914, to be sure. But
these bigger ships and bigger guns arc
no more powerfui-they are equally i'm
potent-against feet with unmatched
or unresisted air and submarine forces
This truth cannot be evaded
The responsibility for this condition
rests squarely upon the shoulders o.
those who have been charged in the
past with framing our building pro-
gram and naval policy. Adding to tne
surface fleet alone adds little to IT,
power in modern war. 1t will re-
main helpless-on one plane.
Not less than $250,oo0. 900 is needed
to-day to supply the submarine ana
aviation forces without which the fees
Of the United States will be powerless
to wage modern war. To rescue 1t from

: and put aviation into the feet. Dur
ing that interval possible enemy with
airplane carriers will command the
air. Our navy will be at a perilow
disadvantage.
No Fleet Submarines
1t has also been shown in tie
columns Of The Tribune that three
years after the armistice we have not
one submarine that can accompany the
fleet at sea. We have not one cruis-
ing, long-range submarine that can
visit the enemy coast overseas to get
information and to operate against
hostile fleet. We have not one large
mine-laying submarine with which to
menace an enemy's ships and COM
merce off his principal seaports.
1t is not necessary to make exag-
gerated claims as to the deadlness Of
air and submarine attack. A layman
will realize that the feet which has
these forces will win against the feet
that has them not, even granting to
airplanes and submarines the mini
mum chances Of hitting. Can we for
get that the submarine alone, without
the assistance OF air forces, came near
starving England and winning the
World War against the combined
navies of England, France, United
States, Italy and Japan?
Difficulties in Orersea attack
Officers and others who talk glibly
about sending our feet to attack an
enemy overseas should stop and think,
particularly if our fleet has no sub
marine or air forces. Arriving Of the
enemy coast with empty bunkers, or
IN need of fuel oil, it must have base
OF supplies. 1t cannot cruise constant
ly at high speed to avoid submarine
and air attack. It must at times cast
anchor. At suca times it will be an
easy target for bombing if 1t does not
command the air. And fuel, supplies
and ammunition must be transported
to it across 5000 or 5000 miles OF
ocean. Can this be done if the enemy
has complete command Of the air and
Of the sub surface of the sea? Truly
it is an "iridescent dream"l
