The Fleets "AIl In" When U. s. Navy Plays At Gruelling Game Of War
Maneuvers Are Done In Black And White
BY BRUCE CATION NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. 3-It may be a fine thing for the high command, but to the rank and file of the navy 1t is something of pain in the neck.
 Tt" is Fleet Problem No. 20, which is going to keep the navy busy in Its annual maneuvers this winter.
 In these maneuvers the navy plays war. The fleet is split in half, One side is given some task to ac- complish; the other side has to try to stop 1t, They do everything they would do in actual warfare except shoot at each other. And it's all pretty exhausting.
 Once the fleet splits in two and the rival wings get into position, wartime conditions prevail on every ship. Lights are out at night. Wire less is silent. Gun crews are kept ready. Everyone is keyed up, alert, watchful. Lookouts scan the sea for periscopeS: others look at the sky for "enemy" bombers-which is no fun because bombers have trick of coming down the path of the sunlight, which gives the lookout squints and headaches.
 THE ADMIRAL'S
 THE CRITIC
 This years maneuverS-held in the Atlantic for the first time in years, although the Navy Depart ment swears this has nothing to do l upiNlN NHstalalA xt,in 1aAfriVa t,s ,NaIL February under the eye of Admiral Claude c. Bloch, commander in chief of the U. s. fleet. He sits in his flagship, the Pennsylvania, watches everything, and when 1t is all over writes a critique discussing thing in detail.
 One of the rival forces is com- f,is, commander of the battle force; the other by Vice Admiral Adolphus Andrews, commander of the scout ing force.
 On each ship there Is an umpire sometimes an especially assigned of- ficer sometimes the executive of ficer of the ship. He checks on the cshP . PSAAVAAhtAAtN aAiO bttRo uti Nl~ aborate log of everything that Is done. And If you have ever wonder ed how they know when a ship Is sunk in one of these mock battles, here's how 1t is done:
 One ship gets an enemy ship in range of its gun. Her skipper es- inmates to writing. Suppose he keeps the enemy in range of his guns for an hour. During that time he could, presumably, have hired give number of shells of Q given caliber at her; a certain percentage of them would have hit her-if he figured her course, speed and so on correetly-and they would have done Q given amount Of damage.
 The umpire on that enemy ship assesses this damage. according to carefully devised tables, He may rule that she has to reduce speed by three knots: he may rule that she has been sunk.
 This sort of thing goes on aboard every ship. It applies 10 all sorts of tacks-night attacks and day at- tacks, submarine attacks and bonib- Ing plane attacks. In the end, the boss admiral has 0 pretty good line on what would really have happen
