duties. When firing practice was
held, however, none of these VOL
unteers was notified. Asked by one
of them why they were not per-
mitted to take part in the firing, a
Navy officer. in my presence, re-
piled that he was a Navy man and
was only looking out for his own
men.
Many of the gun control officers
on British ships are mates on a ship.
They are men who have completed
the necessary training course in the
DENIS. This is practical arrange
ment because it enables the captain
or one of the mates to take the con-
troll officers place on the bridge
when and II necessary. Such a con-
dition Is superior to exclusive use by
Navy control officers, especially
where thes. officers lack adequate
training for their jobs.
British Have Man for Guns.
When British seaman completes
a gun layers course, he is put in
charge of q Run and receives extra
pay. A gun layer performs no duty
except at the guns. This gun layer
is a product of one of the DENIS
schools. He receives pay while taking
the various courses of instructions,
mainly by rnval marine sergeants
detailed to the schools from active
sea duty.
The 20 MN. gun is many times
more effective against enemy air.

machine guns. 1t fires an explosive
instead of solid shell. 1t has very
few parts. It's effective aircraft
range is more than double that for
80 or 1903 caliber guns. With the
latter guns. the gunner has only
3 seconds in which to fire at a dive
bomber going 200 m.p.h. and only Z
seconds at 900 mph.
This gun is now in quantity pro-
duction in America but is being
made with gun mount that has
been obsolete for some time. It is a
No. mount and requires three men
to operate the gun, whereas if a No

would be needed This is an i'm

Previously it had only been dis
closed that Comdr. Wanklyn was
awarded the v. C. December II,

Today the Admiralty told what
those exploits were. and with an
Introductory note Of apology for such
departure from stiff formality,
declared:
Such was the standard of skill
and daring set by 1t Comdr.
Wanklyn and the officers and men
under him that they and their ship
became an inspiration not only to
their own flotilla but to the feet of
which it was part. where for so
long H. M. S. Upholder was based.
The ship and her company are
gone, but their example and inspira-
ton remain"
An Admiralty press notice giving
the Upholder's record additionally
declared that her distinction was
achieved mot by luck nor oppor-
tunist exploitation of single Incl
dent, but by careful planning and
brilliant handling"
The notice said that every time
the Upholder sailed "it was a fore
gone conclusion that she would re-
port greater discontinue of the

LONDON, Aug. G2.-The career of
His Majesty's submarine Upholder,
one of the most brilliant in the
Royal Navy. has ended on her 25th
Mediterranean patrol, the Admiralty
disclosed tonight in communique
which departed from the usually
restrained official language to pay
rare tribute to the lost vessel and
her captain and crew.
In short career (naval direc-
tories indicate she was built after
the war began but do not give the
year, the 615-ton Upholder sank
three enemy submarines, destroyer
and an armed trawler and Is trans
ports totalling more than $4,000
tons. She probably sank a cruiser
and destroyer and two merchant
ships and probably hit another
cruiser.
Among the ships she was known
to have destroyed were the large
and laden Italian transport Conte
Rosso, 800 tons. and the Neptunia
and Oceania. each l9,500 tons.
Guided by young 1t. Comdr. M. D

portant matter on merchant ships
because 1t is difficult to get three
men at each 20mm. gun in less than
one minute This Is the time in
which the guns must be manned
after enemy aircraft has been
sighted.
The No. 3 mount is much simpler.
cheaper and is also better for the
man who changes magazines. Manu-
facture of the obsolete mount should
be stopped, and the better one
adopted. I speak from the stand
point of familiarity with both types
of these mounts; with No. mount
on an American ship and with No 3
at the DENIS School at Glasgow.
Getting back to those Comm
guns aboard ship on which I served
as seaman and was made a member
Of the crew Of cne of the four guns
of this type, I might say that the
reason the guns were never fired
except four rounds from one of the
guns-related, first. to shortage of
ammunition and, secondly, to the
fact that the guns were so mounted
that if fired at the lowest arc of
depression (5 degrees) everyone on
the platform would be instantly
killed, because the muzzles of the
guns were 3 inches below the top
edge of the sides of the gun plat
forms.
The ammunition boxes were loose
on the gun platforms. When the
ship began rolling in heavy seas,
these boxes of high explosive shells
would slide back and forth. banging
againsy the sides of the platforms.
This fine 20mm. gun was invented
many years ago but the British and
American naval officials would have
nothing to do with it. because it
involved an entirely new principle; !;
| that is, the brecch is never locked
when firing. After the Germans
had thoroughly proved its value in
this war it was finally used by the
| Allies.
Gun Covers Difficult.
On my ship the canvas gun covers
| f1tted too tightly. Also, the upper
outside corners of the shields
should have been rounded off be-
cause the sharp corners cut the
covers, making it still more difficult
to remove.
1t required two men to get these
covers off, and you must bear in
mind that you have only from &c
to 60 seconds from the time a plane
is sighted until 1t is in range With
the 20mm. gun you have 10 sec
onds. if the plane is coming at zoe
miles an hour, and seven seconds il
it is coming at 300 miles. With
most of the other guns you have
only two seconds to fire at plane
doing 300 miles.
In all I have written in this first

the Navy crew had ever fired these
guns before coming aboard and only
four single rounds were fired during
the entire trip.
The guns were improperly mount
ed. We also had two 30-caliher ma
chine guns, one 5-inch B. L., 1917
