They threw up smoke screens and yelled in Eng

On Sunk Sub

WASHINGTON - Secretary OF

today that the u. S. submarine
S-26 was sunk in a collision with
another u. S. naval vessel on the
night of Jan. "a off Panama.
The collision occurred while the
submarine was operating on the
surface.
Divers located the sunken ship
Jan. 90 in 301 feet of water. There
was no indication of life on board.
Salvage operations are con-
tinuing, but all hopes Of find
ing anyone alive have been
abandoned, the navy said.
The navy did not say how many
men were aboard. Next of kin of
casualties have been notified.
Three men who were on the
bridge of the submarine were
thrown clear of the ship. which
sank Immediately. These three
men were rescued. They were:
Lieut.. Comdr. Earl c. Hawk. COM
manding officer of the submarine;
Lieut.. Robert f. N. Ward, and Joe
B. Hurst, seaman LIST class.
Since a submarine of this type
normally carries around IS per-
sons, the indicated loss of life per-
haps was around IS.
Rescue operations were COM
menced Immediately under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Frank II.
Sadler, commandant Of the 18th
naval district, and Capt. Thomas
J. Doyle.
A buoy elected from the
submarines signar gun was
located on the surface. II con-
tanned a message which re-
vealed that the forward and
after ends, which contained
the compartments fitted for
rescue work with a diving

surviving members of the
crew were In the central OPP
Grating compartment.
The navy explained that be-
cause of the design of the coming
tower structure in this type of
submarine. 1t would not have been
possible to use the submarine
rescue bell over the central COM
partment even IL the ship had
been located in time.
Six divers were flown from
Washington to the canal zone to
assist the divers already engaged
in rescue and salvage operations.
