new CRAFT FOR
NAVY PLANNED
Hybrid Ship Would Carry
"a Planes and Engage
In Combat

WASHINGTON. June 20.-1Pl-
Plans for a drastically different
hybrid fighting ship are occupying
the navy's designers. II would be a
combination cruiser and aircraft
carrier, capable of engaging in a
running battle as well as launching
more than two dozen airplanes for
scouting or combat.
1t would be Of a radical design
in that its large guns and their
number would place ii in the fight
ing glass. yet a landing platform
on its deck would equip it to carry
from three to six times as many
airplanes as the most modern
cruisers now float.
Instead Of launching its planes
from a distance and running from
an attack, as the existing carriers
must. the proposed cruiser-carrier
might get into the melee and let
its brood bomb and harrass the
enemy while II joined orthodox
cruisers and battleships in battle.
While some "old-line" naval Of
ficers have expressed opposition TO
the cruiser-carrier because its eff
fectiveness might be lessened BY a
reduction in armor to allow for the
weight Of airplanes. the bureau Of
a%eronautics said that a 10.O00-ton
or even a 7.050-ton cruiser-carrier
is the vessel that all nations soon
will be building because OF the
increased effectiveness Of airplanes
in battle.
Tentative plans for the vessel
provide for as many as 10 six-inch
guns as well as storage space for
the planes. About 10 per cent Of
the deck would be devoted to a
landing platform.
