be SO equipped was the Noo.
one Of the old "tin-con' de-
stroyers, to distinguish them
from the new super -destroyers,
known as "eoId pIoters. ]" It
was only natural. therefore,
that this first destroyer plane
should be dubbed the Flying

pointed on the side Of the fuse

There being insufficient deck
