Auxiliary Carriers
Now Being Used in
Combat Areas
Scores More Being Built
To HondIe U-Boots,
Ferry Planes to Fronts
BY he Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press.
Auxiliary aircraft carriers, in
tended primarily to combat the
Uboat offensive, now are operating
in combat areas
The Navy disclosed yesterday
that the first of a fleet of the aux
iliary vessels, converted from mer-
chant-type ships, have gone into
action and that scores more are
under construction.
The carriers can be used for con-
voy operations, as ferrying craft
and in feet movements. the Navy
said. The greatest need for them
now, however, was said to lie in
anti-submarine action in the North
Atlantic, where the bulk of the
force probably will be sent.
Ferried Planes to Africa.
AS ferry ships. the carriers de-
liver fueledup planes within Strik-
ing distance Of combat areas. The
Navy announcement said that a
substantial number of planes now
in action in Africa were taken
across the Atlantic by the auxiliary
carriers.
Secretary of the Navy Knox
termed the carriers triple men
ace TO the enemys undersea, sur
face and air raiders.
Vice Admiral Frederick j. Horne
vice chief of naval operations, Joined
Secretary Knox at press confer
ence to tell Of the auxiliary aircraft
program as coming along very
rapidly
Admiral Horne reported that the
auxiliary carriers have been very
successful. but the nature of a car
rler of this type without high speed -
has limita tions due to weather.
Some have already been in COM
bat, he said, and have been in all
OF the seven seas"
Mr.. Knox said that the auxiliary
carrier program, together with the
procurement of other types of car
rlers by the Navy, puts the United
States away above any other power,
as a constructor of aircraft carriers
Not Designed for Combat.
The new vessels. while having
decks. plane storage spaces and
machine shops tor repair of planes,
are different from the first line car
rlers IN that they are not suitable
tor combat. nor do they have the
speed OF the others. They are
equipped with catapults for launch
ing planes under adverse weather
conditions.
Mr.. Knox explained that the aux
illary aircraft carriers of l943
springs from an experiment made
two years ago. The Navy General
Boaro. early in l94l, directed that a
C-3 Maritime Commission vessel
the Steamship Mormacmail be
fitted out with flight deck and out
fitted with number of planes for
use as an escort vessel. She became
the Long Island. and at the present
time is IN service with the fleet.
So successful was this experiment
according to the Secretary, that the
General Board decided to initiate a
program of conversion.
The new ships are outfitted with
anti aircraft batteries and small
callber guns.
