Stratcgists long have held to
the theory that the main strength
of the American navy. In event Of
a European conflict. should be in
the Pacific because the British
fleet presumably would be able to
dominate the Atlantic. AS long as
the British fleet Is considered no
menace to the u. S., the major
danger of naval developments in
volving the u. s. would be In the
Pacific area, the navy believes.
At Normal Bases"
Actual war in Europe would
require little shifting Of American
naval forces from their present
operating stations.
The main u. s. fleet, commanded
by Admiral Claude c. Bloch, is at
its normal bases at San Pedro,
Cal. and San Diego, Cal. 1t took
up its regular stations there after

turn to the west coast April 10.

lantic. The fleet has been based
on the west coast since March,

Bloch has IL ~bRttleships. IL
heavy cruisers. Is light cruisers,
four aircraft carriers, 10 destroy
ers, IL submarines. and various
minor craft under his command.
Atlantic Fleet New
In addition, the Pacific forces
are strengthened by IA submarines
and considerable aircraft at the
huge Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, base.
and the U. S. Asiatic fleet, operat-
ing in the far east. consisting Of
two cruisers and 80 d~estroyers,
submarines, gunboats and tenders.
The navy also maintains the
relatively new Atlantic fleet,
under command of Rear Admiral
Alfred w. Johnson. This fleet,
largely concentrated at Norfolk,
Va, consists of three battleships,
the recommissioned battle ship
Wyoming, four heavy cruisers, an
aircraft carrier, and 10 ~destroyers.
1t is supplemented by IA SUBJ
mersibles at the New London,
Conn.,, submarine base.
Few In Europe
The navy also operated the So
called special service squadron.
consisting of two ~destroyers and
two gunboats, in the Caribbean
area, and maintains six submarines
and a few auxiliary craft at the
Coco Solo base in the Panama
Canal zone.
A special European squadron,
consisting Of the Cruiser u. S. S.
Trenton and two destroyers, which
was established during the Span
ish civil war to ~evacuate Ameri-
cans, Is based at Vile Franche,
France. This unit, known as squad
ron 40-T, will be utilized to rescue
stranded Americans from isolated
points in event of a general war.
II additional craft were needed,
they probably would be supplied
from the Atlantic fleet.
More Ships to Come
The present naval units soon will
be strengthened, as new ships are
commissioned under the admins
tration's multi billion dollar con-
struction program to provide a
navy second to none"
Awaiting formal assignment are
the new heavy cruiser u. s. S.
Wichita and the light cruiser u. S.
S. st. Louis, nine destroyers and
five submarines. These ships have
been commissioned, but have not
completed their "shakedown" tests.
Other new craft will be added,
as some of the 102 warships, now
under construction, are finished.
