DEL. RESERVE
RECEIVES SHIP
1S0-FOOt Craft To Be Turned
Over To Unit and Brought
To Wilmington
POSTS NOW AVAILABLE

The Delaware Battalion of the
United States Naval Reserve will
formally receive its first official
ship on Jan. when 1e0-foot
patrol craft, the PC 600 will be
turned over to the state unit. The
ship will be boarded and turned
over to "ship-keepers" of the naval
unit following a brief ceremony in
the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Men,
bers of the local unit now on ac-
tive duty will remain aboard the
ship to complete final reft plans
and will then bring the ship down
the Delaware River to Wilmington
about Feb. 1. The ship is of the
type used extensively during the
war in anti-submarine work and
in patrol and escort activity. Built
originally as an inexpensive, all
around patrol craft, PCS were later
supplanted by destroyer-escorts
when it was found that the small
er ships could not stand the rigors
of North Atlantic convoy duty.
However, the draft of seven feet,
high speed and dual purpose arma-
ment, made them valuable addi-
tions to landing operations. In the
latter stages of amphibious war
fare in the Pacific, PCS were used
almost exclusively as control"
craft from which Bleaching opera
ttions were directed. In European
and Mediterranean waters, the ships
were ued extensively for convoy
and escort work.
