NAVY SEEKS 70
SUBMARINES

Construction Of some 90 to %
large submarines capable of wide
range defense and offense will
be recommended BY the Navy
General Board in its next report
to Congress, it was learned last
night.
These submarines viii be 600
or more tons larger than the
''S'' series in general use.
The general board agrees that
what the United States now
needs is submarines capable Of
accompanying the fleet. and it is
this type that she will build un-
der the terms of the London
treaty. Under the treaty the
United States is allowed 52,7O0
tons Of submarines, the individ-
ual limit being 1000 tons.
The outstanding argument in
favor of the larger submarines is
that they can be made available
for airplaneS.
