Divided between an ambition te

he compromised and went to work
as a telephone operator in the Mott

the Philadelphia Press was next.
This led to reporting for five years
on the Philadelphia Evening Led

BY this time he had become pref

equipment, there are scores Of bases
and yards and shore stations. To
the number of bases already in
service the Government now is add
ing others as an essential national
defense measure.
Operating with the feet at this
writing are more than 2,200 air.
planes of all kinds, and approx
mately 1000 additional are on Or
der. The number of aircraft with
the feet will continue to increase.
AS with naval vessels, there are
numerous categories of naval air
craft, each designed for special
functions Thus, We have today
small, fast. one-man fighting planes;
bombers of varying sizes and cruis-
ing ranges. including dive bombers
of amazing performance; torpedo
planes, observation planes, speedy
scouting planes, long-range patrol
planes which are flying boats mainly
for Pacific use, and hghter-than-
air ships.
Mention of dive bombers recalls
that this spectacular and effective
type of attack is American in orr
gin. Here it was developed and
here, in remarkable new planes, it
now is being perfected to a point
which, it is understood, is far be-
yond that demonstrated abroad.
For some years the Navy had no
active program with respect to
Ighter-than-ai craft, but as of
July %, 1910, Secretary Frank Knox
approved the following policy con-
cerning them: ITO build and main
tain aircraft in numbers and classes
adequate for the fleet requirements
and for all other essential naval
purposes: to build and maintain
non-rigid airships for coastal patrol
uses and for other naval uses: to
build and maintain rigid airships
as necessary to explore their USE
fulness for naval purposes; and to
cooperate with other agencies in de-
veloping commercial airships."
This is an important statement of
policy, for it reveals that, notwith-
standing the tragic loss of the Ak
ron, Macon, and Shenandoah, Of
f1cials feel that lighter-than-air
craft cannot with prudence be left
out of plans which call for the up
building of a well-balanced Navy.
Uses of these craft include anti
submarine, anti-mine, coast escort,
convoy duty, and long-range scout
ing. AS fast, far-reaching airplane
carriers, very large airships are con-
sidered by some to have great pos
sibilities. Authorization now exists
for construction of one 5000, 600
cubic-foot capacity training rigid
airship and 48 non-rigid blimps.
Evening star., 1940-10-27

While experience with this type Of
boat has been limited, reports from
abroad indicate that they are de-
cidedly useful and effective under
certain limited conditions. Here
speeds up to 60 miles an hour have
been attained. At present these
craft are not included under official
Navy classificationS.
1t should be noted here that the
United States Coast Guard by law
is automatically merged with the
Navy in cases of national emergency,
and all Coast Guard craft become
directly available to the Navy. This
in itself is a powerful force. 1t in
cludes 4S5 cutters, Al lightships and
about $500 small boats. All of the
last mentioned except a number of

are provided for under recent ap
preparations.
Invaluable Craft.

Invaluable Craft.
Next in the naval hierarchy are
the speedy destroyers, perhaps the
most colorful and versatile of all
warships and remarkably powerful
hitters for their size. Destroyers
carry torpedoes, depth charges and
guns up to inches With these
weapons and their extreme agility
they are invaluable both defensively
and extensively.
Minus the destroyers involved in
the recent ships-for-baSeS deal with
Great Britain, the United States
Navy now has 1877 such ships in
commission and Sc building, with
lis more coming under the last
defense measure American de-
stroyers range anywhere from 1,060
to 1850 tons and usually are formed
in four-ship divisions.
The submarine, in the public view,
has one function, namely. to un-
leash a deadly torpedo. And that
certainly is its most important sin
gle duty. But it has many other
uses, such as in scouting enemy
fleets, observing his ports and coasts,
patrolling home coasts and laying
mine fields Our Navy's submarines
range from about 1000 to 5000 tons,
and the larger craft have substantial
cruising capacity. These ships mount
guns as we'll as torpedo tubes. To
the Navy's fleet of 103 submarines
in service will be added the SO more
already building and the 43 addi-
tional ships planned under the most
recent legislation.
Operating with the fleet is
the increasingly important avia-
ton arm. Essential to aircraft at
sea is the airplane carrier, COM
pletely equipped floating base which
has great cruising range and Is re-
markably fast. The Navy now has
six carrier in service, four are build
ing and eight more have just been
contracted for.
Before analyzing the fleet air arm,
it should be noted that the many
varied ships already described are
by no means all of the Navy's float
ing equipment. There are numerous
auxiliary non-combatant ships such
as tenders, repair ships, cargo ships,
store ships, oilers and ammunition
ships and the mine force. which in
cludes both mine sweepers and mine
layers.
High Speeds Attained.
At present much experimental
work is being done with small, very
high-speed craft of various kinds,
and the Navy is giving full support
and cooperation in this connection.
Evening star., 1940-10-27

surf boats are motorized. In addi-
ton, the Coast Guard has SIS modern
airplanes. All Of the Coast Guards
larger vessels are armed, the big
gest carrying 5-inch guns and anti
aircraft equipment. Ranging up to
1000 tons. the larger ships have a
cruising range of $4,000 miles.
AS part of the national defense
program, the Coast Guard has been
installing more and larger guns, in
creased anti-aircraft and anti-sub-
marine batteries and armament, on
many of its cutters. Also, so officers
and men are to be added to the
crews of major Coast Guard craft.
When completed, the refitted cut
tiers will in fact be gunboats.
