Cby Enthusiastically of the Navy
DENLY and members of the Con-

got their first real tests Of actual
war conditions today when two de-
stroyer attacks were carried out
against the battleships Of the At.
lantic and Pacific fleets.
Early this morning a squadron OF
nineteen deStroyers attacked the
fleet. which was supported by
bombing planes. Secretary DENLY
and the Washington party wit
messed the battle from the destroyer
Mervine.
Later in the day another squad
ron Of destroyers attacked the fleet
supported by vessels playing the
role Of light cruisers.
Covered by dense smoke screens.
the destroyers moved against the
battIeships, which had been placed
eleven miles away. AS the vessels
moved toward each other, all hands
hurried to stations to launch
dummy torpedoes, many of which
struck against the armor-plated bat
tleships.

the bombing planes was to sink as

force as possible before the main
