The War
II. S. Subs
Whiting
On Jap Ships
n, International New. service

WHILE AMERICAN forces
hammer away at Japanese in
vasion units in the Aleutians
and the Southwest Pacific,
United States submarines are
preventing the enemy from
"cashing in" fully on spoils
won in the Philippines and
the East Indies, by sinking
cargo ships in Far Eastern
waters.
Although the navy gives no
details about American SUBJ
marine attacks. naval experts
assert that every torpedo at
tack reported TO date serves
a dual purpose:
Prevents the Japanese
i from moving all the war
supplies they need from Japan
10 enemy invasion garrisons
in the inundated Islands and
the Southwest Pacific, includ-
ing the Solomons.
Outs down the number Of
q ships the Nipponese can
use TO transport vital raw
materials from the Neither
lands East Indies, the Philip
pines and other captured
areas, back TO Japan.
IN THE long run, naval
analysts contend, these Amer
lean submarines attacks will
have an important effect on
Japan's capacity TO keep its
war industries running at top
speed, as well as on Nippons
ability to carry on the fight
against the United States.
These facts were empha-
sized by the navy's latest
communique which stated that
American subs in Far Eastern
waters have sunk two large
freighters, one medium size
freighter and a small patrol
boat.
In addition, one large tanker
was set on FIRE. and one large
freighter, one transport and
one medium sized cargo ship
damaged.
These attacks brought to
100 the number of Nipponese
ships of all types sunk and
damaged TO date by United
States submarines. Most of
these were cargo, supply ships
and tankers.
SOME NAVY men believe
that such continued attacks
upon japanese shipping even
tually will force Japan to shift
more and more TO defensive
warfare in the Pacific.
To date nearly 200 Nip
ponese noncombatant ships
have been sunk or damaged
by American army, navy and
marine forces since the out
break of war. In addition,
more than $50 enemy war
ships have been destroyed or
crippled.
War experts assert that
every freighter or cargo ship
sent TO the bottom aids United
States Marines who are bat
ting to hold their gains in the
Solomons and elsewhere in
the Pacific war theater.
Meanwhile, they point out
that American shipyards are
turning out the cargo vessels
and warships that should soon
give the United States COM

which is across the narrow tip OF
the island from Port Moresby.
The attack on Buna was directed
at the japanese fleet of landing
barges, and reconnaissance reports
said at least q had been beached
after suffering heavy damage from
Allied bombing and strahng at

was perfectly content TO 60 ahead
with plans as outlined by Mr..
Nelson" sdding that "our action
and energy will demonstrate what
can be accomplished"
The WPB estimated that II
would take about - months for
building the first ship, IL months
for the second and "a for the third.
Kaiser received permission to
obtain standard-Sized propellers
and engines from the army and
navy. and asserted that the body
of the planes would be built OF
duramold. a combination of ply
wood and plastics.
TWICE MARS SIZE
The shipbuilder said that the
giant craft will be about twice the
size of the Mars, the big flying
boat produced by the Glenn l..
Martin Company, and will be
-motored. twin-hulled and
capable of carrying 60 tons. The
engines will be OF 1000 horse
power each:
The WPB said that while the
three big planes are being built.
Kaiser will draw up plans for a
factory in which such planes can
be produced or mass basis.
Whether or not the super-ships
will be turned out in quantity
production. however. will be de-
