The announcement of the los

cism against the aircraft carrier a.
naval type. Certainly experience
has shown carriers of pre-war de-
sign, especially the older ones, te
be extremely vulnerable.
OF the older British carriers only
the Furious remains. All the others
the Courageous, the Glorious, the
Eagle and the Hermes-have been
lost, together with the newer Ark
Royal.
The bulk of the japanese carrier
force has been destroyed, though
it is possible that one or two of
the newer ships reported sunk were
only damaged. Our own Lexington
and Yorktown are gone.
Yet we should remember that
the carrier as we now know it, with
its fight deck, elevators, hangers.
repair shops, fuel storage and all
.its expensive gear, is compare
lively new development in naval
construction. It is a type which
never before has met the test OF
war. 1t is, therefore, not unnatural
that losses should be heavy at first,
especially among the older ships.
1t will be noted that the carriers
of later design have stood up better
as witness the terrific pounding
which the Illustrious survived. OF
carriers of recent design, only the
Ark Royal and the Yorktown have
been lost on our side, and the num-
Der of japanese casualties is un-
certain.
Have Scored Big Victories.
Against this, we should remember
some of the accomplishments of
carrier based planes. The great raid
on the Italian feet at Taranto, the
naval victory of Cape Matapan, the
destruction of the Bismarck, the
air reinforcement of Malta, the
battles of the Coral Sea and Mid
way Island and the recapture of
the Southeastern Solomons were all
operations in which carrier based
aviation played a major role, in
some cases a decisive one.
Pearl Harbor, on the enemy's
side of the ledger, was almost en-
tirely a carrier operation. and many
of the subsequent Japanese am
phibious operations have been sup
ported by the planes of their
carriers.
The great virtue of the carrier is
that it gives naval aviation quality
in which, in common with land
aviation, it is otherwise deficient
strategical mobility. 1t enables
planes to 60 wherever ships can 60.
OF particular importance is the fact
that it enables planes of essential
types but Of limited radius of ac-
tion-fighters and dive -bombers-to
be present where and when they
are needed.
The old idea that carrier based

We shall probably have many

not be too many eggs in one basket
Every ship is compromise be-
tween several desirable qualities. no
one of which can be neglected.
There has been a tendency to sacri-
fee other qualities in carriers to a
very large aircraft capacity and to
high speed. Future carriers seem
likely to have a reduced aircraft
capacity, with greater proportion
of their tonnage put into anti-air-
craft armament, armor and COM
