nerable to a single bomb or torpedo,
the greater size makes 1t a better
target for high-altitude horizontal
bombing, thus exposing it to armor-
piercing block busters many tons in
weight. Even with bombsights Of
limited accuracy it should be hard
to miss the vast acreage Of such
huge fiat-tops.
The defense of any base requires
the widest possible dispersement of
its equipment and installations. But
these huge floating bases will repre-
sent the maximum concentration of
air power in a minimum space,
thereby providing the enemy with
an ideal target-virtually guaran-
teelng major destruction with a sin
gle block-buster or supertorpedo.
/. The planes to be conveyed by the
new 45.000-ton carriers, light twin
engined bombers, cannot possibly
have the requisite armament: even
the Flying Fortress, which is heavily
armed, is finding fighter plane OPP
position increasingly serious. Neither
can twin-engined bombers taking
off from carriers have enough bomb
ing power for real strategic destruc-

can now operate
conveniently from carriers.
The decision to 90 in for super
carriers amounts to public recog-
milton that the very limited strik~
ing power than can now be con-
veyed by aircraft carriers is made
uuate against enemy shore install
lations and shore-based aerial de-
fenSeS.
1t should pe noted. however, that
the decision comedies with Army
announcement of new land-based
bombers twice the size of the pres
ent Flying Fortress. BY the time
the new carriers are in action, the
striking power of shore-based avl-
alton certainly will be even greater.
The relation between naval air pow
er and land air power, therefore,
will be no different than 1t Is to-
day. If anything, the margin OF
advantage for land-based planes
will be wider. despite the increased
size and carrying capacity of the
carriers.
Problem Held Insoluble.
To put the matter bluntly. the
Navy is trying desperately to solve
an insoluble problem. No matter
how we expand the dimensions OF
the floating base. its aircraft will
remain inferior to opposition oper-
ating from land, and the carrier
itself will remain the most vulner-
able craft afloat. Since even highly
armored battleships cannot with
stand concentrated air attacks, it
is fantastic to expect flat-tops to
do so.
Shortly after the Coral and Mid
way battles and the loss of the
Lexington, the writer discussed the
subject with officers thoroughly
familiar with those actions. They
attributed the high carrier casual
ties to the size of the ships. The
carriers, they pointed out, were too
big, too unwieldy. and offered large
targets to enemy assaults. More
over, they put too many eggs in
one basket" by gathering so many
planes and men on one highly vul-
nerable and volatile vessel.
In line with these lessons, the
Navy at that time veered toward
smaller carriers. ordering a series
of l7,0O0-ton craft. Experience
then showed that the smaller dar-
riers were just as vulnerable. Be-
sides, they ran into operational DIFF
ficulties, being more sensitive to
bad weather. Because OF reduced
deck areas, the operations Of air.
planes from undersized carriers be-
came more hazardous. Their anti
aircraft artillery had to be more
limited and because one or two
torpedoes were enough to sink
them, they were easier victims of
submarines.
Navy Reverses Itself.
Now the Navy has reversed itself
and swung in the opposite direction.
with the largest carriers in naval
history. The change will prove Just
as futile. The larger the vessel. the
bigger the target. While it will be
more heavily armored and better
defended, so that it will be less vul-

ton. These factors, plus the v,il,
nerability Of their floating base,
sharply reduce their usefulness. =
Carrier Is Ferryboat.
In short, the fortified giant carrier
does not solve the problem for float
ing bases facing shore-based air
power No matter how you slice it,
thick or thin, large or small. the
carrier is still primarily ferryboat
for aircraft and doomed when con-
fronted with genuine air power op-
Grating from solid land.
The potential of labor and ma
terials involved in the three super
carriers that will be ready in about
two years is roughly equivalent to
600 OF the latest B-29 bombers, each
one of which could carry five times
as much bombing power as the me-
dium bombers operating from the
projected carriers. About 100 me-
dium bombers will be able to oper-
ate from supercarrier, yet for the
