Some naval officers here see a probable day when the big battle wagon, much maligned since the tri- umphs of Coral Sea and Midway, will come back and be the decisive fighting factor in an old-fashioned, two-handed slugging match, with victory going to the side which owns the heaviest guns and thickest arnor plating. NAVY ADMITS PLANES
 HITTING POWER
 There is no hesitancy at the Navy Department in admitting that the most vital victories of the war so far have been forced by air-power, and that Gen. Billy Mitchell, pro- phet without honor, is resting easily in his tomb
 But, finally recognizing the value of planes and more planes in naval warfare, the tendency still is to credit the battleship as an almost equally important weapon.
 "It is not beyond the realm Of possibility" one veteran seafighter says, that you'll see day when two big battle wagons square off and pound each other like they used to. Suppose, at Coral Sea, all carriers on both sides had been sunk.
 That takes the planes out of the air for both sides and leaves only the ships to decide the battle. That, you know, is the big drawback Of carrier-based airforce. If the car rier is sunk theh planes can't land. It's not like a land base, on which no matter how shot up itmight be, planes can always land somehow" BATTLESHIPS CAN BE
 ACE IN THE HOLE
 Another argument in favor of re- taining heavy battleships is that, with two sides locked in nearly equal air combat, the extra pounding pow CT of the big babies might conceiv- ably sway the battle. Still another argument is that carriers, of struc- tural necessity, are considerably Trailer than the wagons. Their armor plating is not so thick, and their huge flat faces make juicy targets for bombs.
 I Ou IldVC OO ICLllCLlIHCAt oaJo dAA other Navy man, that no battleship has been sunk in this war-with the exception of the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor-by planes when they had any aerial protection at all The Prince of Wales and the Repulse were sunk, true, but they had no umbrella of planes over them. Your battleship will take a pounding that 8 carrier can't"
 It is for this reason, the consen- sus runs, that battleship construc- ton won't be eliminated in favor of more carriers, although carriers are about to displace them in building priority. As necessary adjuncts to large troop movements, as danger GUS long-rarge weapons for the shelling of long objectives, and as the balance of power in mixed ship plane conflicts, the battlewagon is still regarded as anything but ob- solete.
 The fact, however, that naval tac-

tics have changed revolutionarily is admitted widely. A naval officer de- scribes the old fighting style as 8 jockeying for position, taking into account weather and time of day, and then a concentrated slugging until one side crumpled.
 "You have to have the elements with you, and get the sun in their faces. Then you started whanging away, and if your guns were better, your armor thicker, your maneuver- ability slicke, you won. The big bat tie wagon was like a heavyweight prize fighter-the thing that admin istered the. knockout punch, after smaller ships had softened up the enemy.

 figure, bolstered by fast cruisers and destroyerS."
 The broadeSt change in offen- sive tactics now seems to be vested in the immense spread of possible combat areas. From blunt, poWers full slugger, Naval forces have re- fined into a light, speedy boxer long -range-a feinter for positions from which waves of planes can be dispatched to drop bombs and tor- pedoes. The biggest problem that arises in this newer warfare is the protection of the carrier, in order that the marauding birds may have some place to light after they've laid their potent eggs.
 Most Navy men agree that the land-based plane, whenever possible for practical use, is superior to the -carrier-ba plane, strictly because of the perishability of the carrier They admit the carrier is here to stay, and that the dreadnaught has lessened somewhat in offensive in1- portance. But you can't help but mark their rather wistful hope that soon-maybe not right away but soon-the huge sea fortresses will unlimber their guns and win a slam -bang decision after the vaunt- ed air-poWer has been whitlled down to 8 common denominator.
