To the Alumni of the United States N a v a l Academy Alumni Homecoming Weekend was reinaugurated at the Naval Academy on 5 October 1950, and proved to be so well received by all hands that the same general plan was followed again last year.

Judging from the increased attendance and the many enthusiastic reports received, the event was an unqualified success. It is planned, therefore, to follow the same schedule of events this year.

The date selected for Alumni Day this year is Friday, 10 October 1952. This is en the day preceding the Navy-William and Mary game which is scheduled to be played here in Thompson Stadium. The schedule of events is outlined as follows: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10

That books in general and libraries in pardcular are now more popular with midshipmen than they were thirty years ago is manifest by the success of what is now known as the Regimental Libraries. These are two small branch libraries located in Bancroft Hall, one for each regiment of the brigade. Each year $1,000 is alloted to each of these libraries for the purchase of books and periodicals. The midshipmen of all four classes submit requests for books which they wish added. Last year approximately seventy percent of the books they requested were purchased. The volumes in these Regimental Libraries include fiction, popular works on science, biography, history, current events, and sports. In addition each library has a good encyclopedia, an atlas, a current World Almanac, Information Please Almanac and a iVho's Who in America. In these two branch libraries in Bancroft Hall there are the current issues of twenty-six popular magazines and periodicals. Midshipmen, under the general supervision of the Academy Librarian, are in full charge of the management and operation of these libraries. That this innovation is popular and successful is shown by the fact that last year the total circulation of these Regimental Libraries amounted to 10,655 books.

Another new function of the Library is to assist the first classmen in the preparation of their term papers. Term papers themselves are something new at the Academy: They correspond in some respects to the dissertations submitted by university students in fulfilling the requirements for a bachelor's or doctor's degree. The majority of term papers pertain to naval or military subjects and usually contribute to midshipmen's professional as well as literary education. The Academy Librarian, aided by his staff, helps the midshipmen in the suggestion of appropriate topics and in assisting them to locate and use the sources of material that will be useful in the preparation of these papers. If the material is not available in the Academy Library, the librarian makes use of his contacts with outside agencies in obtaining the required source material. As a result

several papers of outstanding value have been submitted by the midshipmen on such subjects as: "History of the Rules of the Road at Sea." "Flogging in the U. S. Xavy," and "Allied Mistakes in Norway, April 1940." In the meantime, the midshipmen have received excellent practical experience in the requirements of a research project.

Another innovation in the Library's functions which has been in effect for only four years is that of indoctrinating the plebe in the use of the Library's facilities.

During Plebe Summer every fourth classman is required to attend a lecture given by one of the Library staff on the use of the Library's card catalogue, the reference books, and the newspaper and periodical indexes. The rules and the procedures of the Library are explained to him as well its usefulness to him in the preparation of book reports, debates, articles for Academy periodicals, after-dinner speeches, and first class term papers (provided they make the grade up to that point). Plebes are also required to attend a second period of instruction. This second period of the indoctrination course consists of a written quiz in which they must make a practical application of the facts and information which were presented to them during the previous lecture period. This initial mdoctrination of the midshipmen in the facilities and ser\nces of the Library has resulted not only in an increase in the use of the Library's facilities but has also helped improve the caliber of the midshipmen's scholastic performance.

Instead of hiding its light under a bushel, the Library today makes an effort to stimulate an interest in its services and facilities.

For instance, upon receipt of lists of new arrivals on the station, the librarian writes to each acquainting him with the facilities of the Library and inviting him and his family to make use of its services. The Library's Reference Department also performs a valuable service for not onlyAcademy personnel but also for certain oiitside agencies. This service consists in answering inquiries and sup|)lying information on any subjects germane to the Li-

brary's bibliographic nature. During the last year more than five thousand inquiries were received including one from the Walt Disney Productions requesting information regarding the sequence of orders and commands connected with the loading and firing of guns aboard men-of-war in 1866.

At its inception in 1845 the Academy Library was given an allotment of $100 for the purchase of books. The only other books in the Library were the few hundred that Secretary of the Navy Bancroft ordered transferred to the Academy from ships and other naval stations. Today it has a total of approximately 125,000 volumes and subscribes regularly to 306 periodicals. It has in addition a collection of 1,775 microfilm reels. Last year a total of close to 63,000 books were taken out by subscribers of which about 37,000 were midshipmen. It would seem that books have gained in popularity among midshipmen.

The Library has received many gifts from various sources. -Among the most valuable are the Park Benjamin collection of twelve hundred volumes tracing the history of electricity from its beginning and the collections from the Boston and the Brooklyn Naval Lyceums each of which consisted of about four thousand volumes most of which deal with naval or nautical science. Included in the two latter collections are many rare books some of which are the only knowTi existing copies.

It is not the policy of the Library to acquire rare books or first editions. However, many volumes of that character have been received as gifts. Any Na\-y man or naval enthusiast should get a thrill from leafing through a signal book that was used during the Battle of Lake Champlain in 1814 or studying the original log of the USS COLUMBUS for the period during which she cruised in Far Eastern waters in 1845 as a member of Commo. Tames Biddie's squadron. Another na-i-al memorabile is the Watch, Quarter and Station Bill of the USS

while she was attached to the Mediterranean Squadron. In addition to the usual administrative entries, there are found in this manuscript the musical scores of the bugle calls used at that period. The feature that makes this manuscript unique is that some unknown yeoman illustrated each call in water colors. Reveille is illustrated with a brilliantly colored rooster crowing his salute to the sunrise. General quarters is illustrated with the picture of two shipsof-the-line exchanging broadsides. In the Library can also be found a copy of Capt.

John Smith's Seaman's Grammar arid Dictionary, Explaining All tlie Difficult Terms in Navigation; and the Practiced Naz-igator and Gunner, published in 1627. Then there is a copy of the 1807 edition of Nathaniel Bowditch's The Nezo American Practical Navigator. These are just a few of the rarer items that make the Library a veritable lucky-bag filled with priceless records and information on practically any phase of the Navy and things nautical.

Like everything else about the Academy, the Library has made tremendous forward strides during the last thirty years. Gone is the lackadaisical, almost sepulchral, atmosphere that permeated the second floor of Mahan Hall. Instead, there now is an alert and active staff that is not only well trained and highly skilled in its professional duties but also alive to its responsibilities and courteously anxious to be of assistance to all who wish to avail themselves of the outstanding services and facilities that the Library has to offer.

SOMR-UIERWITER ELECTRflllfS During World Wars I and II, how did we combat enemy submarines? How can we hope to combat them in a possible World War I I I ? Before such a menace can be destroyed, it must be located. We must know how far away it is (range) and in what direction (bearing) ; its depth beneath the surface; its course and speed.

Although other factors are desirable, these are basic.

How do we obtain this information? The answer to this question points largely to equipment used to send and receive sound through water. The United States Navy has given this equipment the generic name SONAR. Nearly all major developments are slow; the work tedious, and sometimes heartbreaking. The development of sonar was no exception. .A review of the past; a look at the present; and an excursion into the future relative to this important development appears in order. Especially is this so in view of the current world situation and its possible effects upon our national security.

The first 'attempts toward developments in this field occurred more than a century ago. In 1826, both the English and the Germans conducted experiments in the transmission and reception of sound under water. There is no available record of the results of this work. The earliest recorded time for work of this kind in the United States dates back to 1898. During that year, the Submarine Signal Company of Boston developed a pneumatic bell as an underwater sound transmitter to be used as a navigational aid on light vessels and other ships. In 1901 this same company developed the first successful underwater sound receiver designed for use with their pneumatic bell. Underwater sound was confined to navigational uses prior to World War I. The impact of World War I increased the tempo of research and development in this field. As this war continued and other nations were drawn into the conflict, the first realization that a need for some device to indicate the whereabouts of a submarine was driven home abruptly. Allied countries began .feverish experimentation on the transmission and reception of underwater sound for the detection and location of enemy submarines. Records indicate that the Germans also were working in this direction.

Upon entry of the United States into this war in 1917, the Navy assembled at New London, Conn., the best technical advisors available and enlisted the services of the large electrical manufacturing companies to work on this problem. The very latest techniques known were employed.

Transmitters of both the pneumatic bell type, yielding low pitch sounds, and the Fessenden oscillator type, yielding high pitch soimds, were used. Receivers made predominant use of the stethoscope principal employing rubber bulbs for detection.

These were connected to approximately designed headpieces by means of hollow tub* Mr. Richards, the author of this article, is with the Electronics Design and Development Division of the Bureau of Ships, Navy Department.

B y A. P . R i c h a r d s ing. Other types used a carbon microphone attached to a large diaphragm. Many other principles were explored, but for the most part those making use of the purely acoustical or a combination of acoustical and electrical properties were considered best.

Although these devices were perfected to a very high degree, the results obtained must have been very disappointing when compared to present techniques. It was the start, however, of a new science with unlimited horizons.

In the meantime, the science of radio, advancing rapidly, was destined to play an important role in underwater sound developments. Gradually, increasing numbers of scientists and engineers were put to work on underwater sound. The two decades between 1920 and 1940 saw many significant advances despite the meager appropriations made available during those years for research and development. Earlier acoustical and electrical principles were discarded and the principles of radio were applied to the development of circuitry.

Such development provided flexibility of equipment and placed operational usefulness on a higher level than ever before.

This in turn generated new and definitive operational requirements. Developments resulted in equipments for depth finding, range and bearing of targets, and many other uses.

World War II imparted tremendous impetus to this field of development. Security regulations do not permit a detailed discussion of the developments made from 1940 to date, but it can be said that much has been learned about the sea, about transmission and reception of underwater sound, and that within the framework of operational requirements, the equipments in use today place powerful tools at the disposal of the Fleet.

What, about sonar, makes it different from all other electronic equipment? The answer can best be made by comparison.

Underwater electronics has the distinction of operating in a medium unique to that in which all other types of electronic equipments must operate. Radio, radar and all other equipment designed to operate above the surface of the seas transmit and receive energy in the form of electromagnetism.

This energy travels away from the transmitter antenna in accordance with the wellknown physical laws of propagated waves.

At some distant point, these waves intercept a receiving antenna (in the case of radio, etc.) where their electromagnetic energy is transformed into electrical energy. In the case of radar, the waves intercept a ship, an aircraft, an iceberg or some other object. Such an object causes a reflected wave to return to the radar antenna to energize the receiver.

Tropospheric and ionospheric conditions affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Temperature inversion has the effect on ultra-high frequency_ (very short waves) of enabling transmission to be accomplished beyond line of sight. In some instances ranges have been phenomenal.

During high sun spot activity, magnetic storms induced on this planet reduce the

effectiveness of electromagnetic radiations.

Under especially severe conditions, communications over wire circuits have been disrupted.

The transmission of sound in water differs from that of electromagnetic phenomena. The electrical energy generated by the sonar transmitter is transformed into sound energy (compressional waves in water). This requires a transformation of electrical energy into mechanical energy in water resulting in an underwater acoustical wave propagation. When these waves encounter a change in the medium, such as a submarine, or a school of fish or other objects, they are reflected in part and this reflected wave returns to the source from which it was originally transmitted. There the acoustical wave is re-transformed into an electrical wave. The transformation (transmission and reception) device in sonar is called a transducer. For reception only, it is referred to as a hydrophone.

Conditions of the sea for the transmission and reception of sound are somewhat similar to those which exist in space for electromagnetic radiations. Although the respective velocities of propagation are widely different, both are attenuated by approximately the same relationship. The sea has its temperature gradients, and variations thereof, which affect ranges of sonar equipment. The degree of salinity has an effect on propagation ai^d consequent ranges.

Suspension of small particles in the water causes scattering, and in coastal areas fresh waters from rivers cause a very sharp change in velocity of propagation. This latter phenomenon can limit the range.

State of the sea (smooth, heavy, etc.) also affects the transmission and reception of underwater sound.

Some of these factors were not too well defined earlier. Therefore, during World War II, tremendous effort was expended on studies and investigations of the ocean.

Although the tempo of this work decreased after 1945, the work has been carried on.

These investigations have led to discoveries forming the bases for numerous reports and data which have been taken advantage of in the design and development of sonar equipment. Furthermore, this type of information, together with trials at sea by the operational forces, has developed new or improved tactics. This, in turn, has generated new operational requirements which, passed along and interpreted, result in additional technical requirements.

Knowledge of some of the factors contributing to the transmission characteristics of underwater sound has been of assistance in some instances toward the development of equipment to perform in a manner more nearly desirable than would have been the case had not such information been available. For example, it would be natural to assume that high power would overcome transmission limitations imposed by attenuation phenomena. To the point of cavitation, this is true; beyond this, higher power yields nothing. Some of the data indicated that certain frequencies might be more effective than others. Developments in this respect have led to increased operational usefulness of the equipment. Other conditions of the sea have caused additional (Continued on page 7)

New Bills Coming - Promotion, Pay Other Legislation Coming Travel Time for Retired Personnel

By Fred Lardner, '22 After several years of writing about legislation concerning retired officers of the armed services, we wonder if the legislative problems of this group will ever be straightened out. Many worthwhile bills were introduced in the last Congress, but that Congress was so busy most of the time with allegedly more important legislation that few of the bills received serious or sufficient consideration. The armed ser\'ices committees spent most of their time dealing with such subjects as universal military training, the draft, and pay that minor legislation had little chance of success.

Retired officer legislation deals with a variety of subjects, as pension increases, sun-ivors' benefits, widow's income, dual compensation and business restrictions, disability, cadet-midshipman service. Perhaps the big stumbling block is that these subjects are not tackled individually, with the various problems involved in each included in separate bills. The 82nd Congress did approve bills dealing with separate problems, but the situation as a whole remains a legislative maze.

Probably the only people who know how much of a maze it is are the stalwart lawyers of the Retired Officers Association, most of them Navy men.

Legislation Enacted

Much legislation of general interest to armed service personnel became law in Jime and July, and here is an account of the more important bills.

Public Law 450, Emergency Powers Continuation Act of 1952. This law continues the President's emergency powers at least until 1 April 1953. It continues authority for officers of the Naval Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve to be ernployed on active duty, with or without their consent, even later than 7 years after commissioning.

This law continues authority of departments to continue to credit the pay accounts of persons missing in action and make allotments of pay from those accounts. It also authorizes the head of each department to make a finding of death, if appropriate, after an absence of one year or longer, thereby enabling the departments to settle individual accounts.

Public Law 408, Women Doctors. There is much controversy over the employment of women as uniformed members of the armed services. For instance, the advertising for their services is under attack. It is probably true, however, that women may be better off, economically, in the services.

They may be better able to find affection and husbands there.

Westbrook Pegler, the newspaper coliminist, was recently quite voluble on the subject. He attacked, among other factors,

the commissioning of women nurses. We could never see why women nurses should be commissioned. Women in general exercise too much authority, and so do ordinary nurses. Why give a Na\'y nurse the authority of law to order a man to lie in bed, when he knows damn well that what he needs is a chance to get up and walk around a bit?

Back in 1918, while recovering from influenza at the Naval Academy Hospital, we asked for a bedpan. A woman ntuse brought us one. We asked her to go away; we told her to get the hell away from us. She wouldn't go. She was a beautiful nurse with limpid blue eyes, and she reproached us sorrowfully with those eyes.

We couldn't get anywhere with that bedpan. Finally, we had to resort to an enema, and it was only after some real scrapping that we got a male nurse to give it to us.

Of course, when you are really sick, you don't care who fools around you. Perhaps most men have no such inhibitions, anyway.

Well, now you'll have women doctors and women dentists as well as women nurses. We wonder if eventually there will be women aboard ship.

Public Law 567, Tax on Homes. Extends to 1 January 1954, the nonrecognition of gain from sale or exchange of residence for taxpayers serving on extended active duty in the armed services.

Public Law 550, Benefits for Korean \'eterans. This bill is of interest to many officers as well as to enUsted men.

Public Law 356, Increases in Veterans' Benefits. Public Law 357, increases income limitations applicable to non-service-connected disability and death pension cases from $1,000 to $1,400 for a veteran without dependents, a widow with children, or a child, and from $2,500 to $2,700 for a widow with children or a veteran with dependents. Various income excluded from these income limitations. Public Law 427, Statutory Award Increases. Increases special compensation for the most severely disabled veterans, up to an income of $400 a month.

New Promotion Formula

It would seem that Air Force and Army systems of promotion were largely responsible for Congressional acceptance of the Davis amendment to the 1953 appropriations bill. This amendment, sponsored

by Representative Davis (Rep., Wisconsin), establishes definite percentages of total persormel for numbers of oflficers in grades.

There was comparatively little criticism of Navy promotion methods; the Navy was going along smoothly and logically, but the process of unification required that the Davis formula be applied to naval officers.

Here is what Representative Davis recently said of the Air Force and the Army systems: "Recent figures show that the -Air Force now has 300 generals and 3,400 full colonels, compared to 850 second lieutenants and 1,500 first lieutenants among its regular officers. This means that, excluding reserve oflficers, the Air Force has about one general for three second lieutenants, four full colonels for each second lieutenant, and half again as many colonels as first and second Ueutenants combined.

"The Army has 465 temporary generals, 4,100 full colonels, 2,100 first lieutenants and 2,400 second Ueutenants.' The Army has one general for every five second Ueutenants and twice as many colonels as second lieutenants."

The percentage distributions of line officers by grades, prior to World War II and as of April of 1952, were respectively as follows: Before World War 11 April 1952 Rear Admirals 1 percent 0.75 percent Captains 4 percent 6 percent Commanders 8 percent 12 percent Lt. Commanders 15 percent 18 percent Lieutenants 30 percent 24.75 percent Lts. (jg) and Ensigns 42 percent 38.50 percent To an ordinjiry civilian, as this correspondent, the Air Force and Army figures are quite startling. Undoubtedly it is these figrures which have given rise to charges of too much brass in the services. Representative Davis contended that both the -Air Force and the Army had intended to continue their heavy promotions toward top grades in fiscal year 1953.

The Navy figures show a sane distribution of officers by grade, and clearly indicate that the Navy system of promotion is much more logical and scientific. Nevertheless, the Navy is condemned along with the other services, and made subject to the Davis amendment. It is clearly a case of too much unification.

Retired Pay Case

Are retired Reserve officers who served in World War I entitled to receive 75 percent of the active duty pay at time of retirement? That question has been put to the U. S. Court of Claims by F r ^ i k F. Reynolds, 3561 Stafford Street, Arlington, Virginia.

S H I P M A T E

Reynolds, a graduate of the Naval Academy, left the Regular Navy prior to World War I, was commissioned in the Naval Reserve in March 1917 and served until August 1919 when he was placed on inactive duty. He also served in World War II until July 1946 and retired as a Reserve in October 1950.

Reynolds applied to the Secretary of the Navy for the difference between the amount of retired pay he has been receiving and the 75 percent of active duty pay he claims is authorized under the Pay Readjustment Act of 1946.

The law provides, Reynolds pointed out, that "the retired pay of any officer of the military or naval forces who served prior to 12 November 1918 shall be 75 percent of his active duty pay."

Other officers familiar with the law have applied for the higher pay. The Secretary of the Navy has turned them down. The military agencies contend that the language applies only to officers of the Regular service forces.

Emphasizing the fact that the legal language is "any officer," Reynolds has filed suit with the Court of Claims.

New

Bills C o m i n g — P r o m o t i o n ,

Pay

An effort will be made in the next Congress to eliminate some of the bad effects upon the Navy, and on the other services, of various provisions of the appropriations act for fiscal year 1953.

This time the legislation will be considered by the armed services committees, not the appropriations committees. Among the proposed changes, this correspondent was told, will be a bill to eliminate various bad features of the Davis amendment to the appropriations bill. This would return the Na\-y system of promotion to the provisions of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947.

-An effort will also be made to restore voluntary retirement properly qualified by requirements prevailing in former years.

Changes in the Career Compensation Act envisioned by Representative Paul Kilday (Dem.. Texas) and other members of the House .Armed Services Committee may be made effective in the next session. An omnibus bill to eliminate inequalities and misinterpretations of the law is now under study, with committee staff members cooperating with Defense Department specialists.

Other

Legislation

Coming

Interservice Transfer. liarly this year the Defense Department sponsored a bill for the interservice transfer of commissioned personnel of the .Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. This bill is expected to become lavi" eventually, in 1954 if not 1953.

Its 1952 number is S. 2417.

Air Force Academy. Several bills to provide for an Air Force Academy were introduced in the last session. These bills called for different locations. There will be real action on this next year.

Dual Employment. The case of dual employment and limitation of business activities for retired officers is very important.

In the last session S. 352, a bill to simplify and consolidate laws relating to dual employment (employment by the Federal government of retired officers), was supposed to receive consideration by the Senate Armed Services Committee. Unfortunately, some members do not understand this legislation ; others are prone to listen to the racketeers of the government employee S E P T E M B E R ,

unions, who apparently are afraid of having retired officers in government.

There have been cases where retired officers could not return to their former jobs after re-entering the services for World War II duty and then being again retired.

In cases where the employing firms did a sizeable business with the service department which commissioned these officers, the officers were told they might be subject to legal action if they went back to their old firms or any others doing government business.

Survivors' Benefits. The problems of survivors' benefits will get more intelligent consideration in the next Congress, according to present plans. In the meantime, various inequities in the application of such benefits will continue, with the Regulars getting few advantages and Army and Air Force Reserves doing all right for their survivors.

It is probable that problems and controversies involving pensions, physical disability retirement, and cadet-midshipman service will be ironed out next year.

T r a v e l Time for Retired

Personnel

New time limits involving the rights of retired members of the uniformed services to travel and transportation allowances in connection with their retirement were announced recently by the Department of Defense.

Under new regulations, retired personnel and their dependents must complete travel to the place they select as home and shipment of their household effects must have begun by April 27, 1953 or within one year after the date of retirement, whichever is later.

A statement of the Per Diem Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee of the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force concerning the change in time limits follows: "The promulgation of Presidential Proclamation 2974, dated April 28, 1952, makes it necessary that the Joint Travel Regulations be amended to return to the peacetime provision of requiring that travel of retired personnel to the place they select as their home for the purpose of receiving payment of mileage, transportation of dependents, and transportation of household goods must be completed within one year from date of retirement.

"It has been a principle of long standing that normally such travel should be performed within one year from date of retirement in order to have been performed within a reasonable period. In July 1945, the Comptroller General of the United States, in recognition of the crowded conditions obtaining in many parts of the United States making the selection of a home and travel thereto impracticable, relaxed this principle to allow deferment of such travel to a date not later than one year after date of retirement or one year after termination of the war, whichever is later.

"Presidential Proclamation 2974 terminated the war, for these purposes, effective April 28, 1952. Therefore, those members who are retired, transferred to the Fleet Reserve, or transferred to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve on or before April 28, 1952 must select their home and perform travel thereto on or before April 27, 1953 in order to be entitled to payment of mileage. Likewise, dependents must also perform travel thereto and household goods must be turned over to a transportation officer or to a carrier for shipment on or before April 27, 1953 in order to secure transportation for

dependents and household goods at government expense.

"Members being retired, transferred to the Fleet Reserve, or transferred to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve after April 28, 1952 will be required to perform the travel to their selected home, transport their dependents thereto, and turn their household goods over to a transportation officer or to a carrier for shipment within one year from date of retirement in order to be entitled to the appropriate travel and transportation allowances prescribed by the Joint Travel Regulations."

SONAR...

(Continued from page 5) improvements to be made resulting in still greater operational usefulness.

Although it is true that knowledge of the ocean has been responsible for some of the gains made in the field of underwater sound as indicated above, the greatest gains in flexibility and rehability are attributable to advances made concurrently in electronics and in mechanics.

-As implied earlier, transducers for sonar are analogous to antennas for radar. The advancements in transducer development, making use of material developments, have done a great deal toward making sonar the effective equipment it is today. Significant also are the developments and applications of special circuitry.

While the fact remains that no startling or revolutionary discoveries in the field of underwater sound have been forthcoming, fundamental physical phenomena have been carefully reviewed and extensions of this basic information have generated some new concepts which even now are being reflected in equipment development. Developm.ents in this field are forging ahead as rapidly as new avenues of approach permit.

With the advent of the Korean outbreak, higher appropriations have again made possible increased activity in both development and production of sonar equipment.

New equipments should be coming off the production lines soon. These new equipments will reflect the developmental advances made during the last half decade.

Commendable though they are, these advances are not final and new concepts and their consequent new techniques must be developed, carried forward, and applied to future equipment.

What are the possibilities in this direction ; what does the future hold in store?

This can be discussed only in light of present knowledge. Fundamentally, future significant advances in sonar must take the form of new discoveries and techniques in electronic circuitry and their applications to the science of underwater sound. At the present writing, the most effective technique known for the detection and location of targets underneath the surface of the seas is by means of sound waves. Thus an extension of these known principles and the refinement and adaptation of new electronic developments are the logical means of approach.

Much has already been done to make equipments more reliable than they have been in the past. There are two ways in which reliability can be accomplished. One of these ways is to utilize "battleship construction" resulting in large heavy equipment with high factors of safety both mechanically and electronically. This is the (Continued on page 15)

OCEANUS The Ocean area as known in the time of Homer—1000 B.C.

The ancients used the word Oceanus, the Ocean River, for a mysterious and dangerous sea which bordered the world as they knew it. The Atlantic Ocean, lying beyond the Pillars of Hercules, was a great tmknown of swift, malevolent currents and strange monsters. Since those days the mysteries of flowing drift and tide, the river of life which began a billion years or more ago, and the complex interweaving of the lives of plants and animals in the ocean today, have all yielded in some measure to the enquiring mind of man.

There is an artery of warm and foreign water which sweeps up the North American coast and across the Atlantic, and this is called the Gulf Stream. It is part of a greater system of interlocking currents that girdle the North Atlantic, a salt stream within the salt ocean that helps regulate and sustain the life on land and sea of the Atlantic peoples. This, the Ocean River, sweeps westerly from the Canaries into the Caribbean, thence north along our coasts and easterly to fan out towards Iceland, England and Norway in the north, and south to the coasts of Portugal and Spain.

The Ocean River brings warmth and energy to northern Europe, which otherwise would remain a subarctic wasteland.

As the Mediterranean waters nourished the spread of classic civilization, so our North -Atlantic modern world is in great measure a fruit of this watery tree of life, whose roots are in the Caribbean and whose branches spread from the Grand Bsuiks to the Baltic.

There is nothing stationary or changeless about this. At one time in geological history things were different, and so again at some unscheduled moment the bounty of this life-giving stream can well be removed from us. It is worth our study.

The time of man on Earth has been short. If we use as a geological year the

time from the creation of the Earth as we know it to the present day, the existence of man might measure two minutes. Even thus briefly, man has managed to construct a fairly accurate picture of what the world was like before his own remote ancestry was called forth from the mud and waters of creative chaos. It is a picture of elemental forces in harmony, all stemming from the energy of the sim. The river of the sea in motion reflects an invisible river of the airs above it which act as a great thermal engine geared to the waters beneath.

So if we look at a current we must look at a climate. If we consider a climate we must consider how it affects the life of man. If we study the depths of the sea we leam not only of the teeming life within the sea, but secrets of sub-oceanic geology are revealed that help us to understand our land-bound environment. We start with the rock that molds the ocean bed. We watch the waters that move within this foundation and study the forces that drive them on and control their action. We see man put out adventurously upon these waters to new lands and fresh ways of life.

We see how certain climates, created by the warmth of these waters and the storms above them, are favorable to the growth of strong civilizations and finally, looking more closely upon the complex of the Ocean River, a vast new frontier of discovery is revealed which the yoimg science of oceanography has just begun to explore.

We know that somewhere, somehow, in the great circle of creation there was a slight punctuation called the globe. Then time, as we count it, began. Just what upheaval set the Ocean River on its course we do not know, but we do know what holds it in its present rhythm and we are beginning to find out how dependent on this stream the peoples of the Atlantic community are for their climate, their food and the directions of their development.

Two of the first questions that come to mind are, why is this stream not soon dissipated into the vast Atlantic waters; and

The Ocean and its shores as known in the time of Hecataeus—500 B.C.

what gives it propulsion? Streams as we landlubbers know them run down hill between banks. There is not enough downhill in the ocean, except in a few places, to accoimt for the entire course and powerful drive of the Ocean River, which equals about 1,000 times the flood of the Mississippi. There is a power that stirs the whole North Atlantic Ocean in a clockwise swirl, with the Sargasso Sea at its center teeming with weed and the special life of its own slow moving waters. The sun, of course, keeps this wheel of ocean spinning, using as a machine for the discharge of its energy the constant effects of wind and climate and the present fixed conformations of continents and ocean bottom. Under these circumstances the waters of the Great River start on their long journey with a temperature, a density, a salinity and a pace that creates an entity within the vast surrounding ocean.

We begin to see the measure of the Ocean River, its reach and its constant current carrying the warm tropic waters to the far north. This giant engine, created by climate, distributes and controls climate far from its source. The ocean has well been called "a climate in storage," meaning simply that by the nature of saltwater it acts as a reservoir of heat energy. But the

constituent nature of the sea, the life-giving properties of saltwater, are as important to the life cycle of the Atlantic world and its bordering continents as the size or power of the Stream as an engine of climate.

Saltwater both in quality and quantity is one of man's best sources of food, as well as his best thermostatic regulator of the fierce energy of the sun. When the Stream wrestles with the Labrador Current, from Cape Cod to Newfoundland a vast mixing of the ocean, slow but effective, creates ideal food; conditions by the turbulent stirring of waters rich in the ocean's fertilizer.

In these waters the minute vegetable and animal life of the sea called plankton multiply vastly, and here the numberless schools of fish congregate along the undersea banks. These fishing grounds were almost as early in their pull of venturesome Europeans to the west as Columbus' dreams of the wealth of China or Japan beyond the Gates of Gibraltar, and their wealth has outvalued the treasures of Mexico and Peru. Spanish and Portuguese fishermen, often blown far to sea, kept alive in men's minds the teasing picture of the Fortunate Isles over against the setting sun. Horror and fascination, greed and romance, all drifted against the old continent of Europe from the warm waters of the Atlantic.

The first history of the Ocean River is a combination of rumored voyages and strange legend. The Phoenicians left no specific log of their bold voyages at the dawn of history but their deeds have come down to us from other sources. Plato, from Solon, an early Greek historian, has written of the legend of the lost Atlantis. The early legend of the Fortunate Isles and the Homeric stories all point to persistent rumors of lands in the Sea of Darkness towards the setting sun beyond the known Mediterranean world.

Then slowly, as Rome came into power, voyages westward fell off and the charting and explorations of the western seas ceased for a while.

The dark ages for political Rome were ushered in at about the third century after Christ by the barbarian invasions from beyond the Alps and the dark age for free intellectual inquiry in Europe was prolonged until the Renaissance broke the spell of repression in the fourteenth century. Map making in particular suffered because the value of maps as keys to commercial domination was so keenly felt that the utmost secrecy surrounded their making and their use. Even as enlightened a ruler as the Emperor Augustus kept all his charts in secret vaults within his palace.

Carthaginian and later Spanish sea captains were sworn to destroy or sink all their charts if threatened by capture. What we might call bootleg map making by unofficial persons was likely to lead to prison or the torture chamber.

But no account of restriction or penalty could keep the bold and curious minds of men from probing the mystery of the Atlantic. Merchants and explorers kept pushing back the dark curtain of the oceanic horizon.

Before all the others, the Norse were the first to break the long inactivity of the dark ages that held the Mediterranean explorers in leash. By the year 1000 the Norse had discovered the American continent at Labrador and in a few years had pushed succeeding voyages as far south as Cape Code.

It is odd that the nature of this perpetual warm current gathering in the West Indies was never evident to Columbus. Had SEPTEMBER,

1952

he been aware of the Stream he could have shortened the tedious days of his long voyages back to Spain by taking a northerly route. The first recorded word about the Current had nothing to do with scientific inquiry, but crops up in a footnote to the voyages of Sebastian Cabot that the beer stored in the hold of his vessel turned bad and fermented because of unaccountable warmth below decks. This was of course due to a sudden rise in the temperature of the sea as he entered the Gulf Stream.

Just as the first pre-Christian sailors, Phoenician or Greek or Roman, had responded to the legends of Atlantis or the Fortunate Isles beyond the Pillars of Hercules, so now at the thousandth year after Christ the quest for Hi-Brazil, Saint Brandon's Isle or the new shores of Vineland teased the mind of man. Shortly after this time the men of Spain and Portugal and France and England took up the task of revealing their own western ocean and following down the trail of the strange woods and strange plants that from time to time, riding the whirlpool of the Atlantic, came from the unknown west to European shores.

By the fourteenth century the beginning was made that would end with the establishment of a new civilization largely dependent on the bounty of a fruitful western sea and the beneficence of a warm flood of subtropical waters, making possible the successful migration of the land-locked northern European to his new home on a virgin continent.

Intimately associated first of all with this migration and, later, with development of the Ocean River as a great trade highway has been the evolution of the sailing ship and its ultimate replacement by the modern surface vessel and transocean airplane. The ships which have made history in sailing the Seven Seas have been born of a commercial and technological growth which has had its outposts in Sweden and Texas, Cape Code and Tyneside and its center at the center of the Atlantic whirlpool.

With the growth of Atlantic trade there was also a great upsurge of interest in the arts and sciences which began with the end of the Dark Ages, and, coincidentally, with the early western voyages. During the last four centuries of intellectual progress there developed a vigorous new civilization on the western shores of the Atlantic, so that the center of gravity has shifted from the Mediterranean world to the Atlantic Ocean.

The civilized world no longer looks only to the eastern rim of the Ocean River for its universities and its centers of art, science and technology. Today these centers surround the River and the exchange of ideas takes place across its broad surface.

One scientific quest in particular interests us here, since it delves deeply into the very substance of the Atlantic itself, its salty matrix and the creatures which inhabit it.

For geographical exploration and conquest of the Atlantic turned out to be only the first phase of discovery in the fast flowing Ocean River. A new world of discovery began to fire the interest of the scientifically minded, with its horizons extending not merely from shore to shore but also from wave-swept surface to the tranquil mud of the abysmal depth.

This special group of the scientific studies which are united in oceanography is today opening up a whole new field of inquiry in all the oceans. It is not confined to the North Atlantic, yet the Ocean River has received more than its geographical share of attention.

The work of seagoing expeditions is limited to scientific measurements and the

collection of material for further study at land-based laboratories. The result of recent scientific exploration has not only extended the foundations of oceanography but has also developed laboratories on the seacoasts. There are many of these of varying importance on both sides of the Atlantic, some devoted to the problems of ocean fisheries and others with wider interests.

A great stimulus to the founding of marine laboratories on the eastern side of the Atlantic was the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. Although primarily concerned with the fisheries of that offshoot of the Ocean River, the North Sea, the Council has had great and good influence upon the development of ocean sciences on both sides of the Ocean River.

When we can chart and fathom and correlate the natural phenomena that control and create the life in the sea along the course of the Ocean River and know the signs and portents of the climatic cycles above its waters, we may then be able to predict in advance the weather of Europe and the fluctuations of the food supply within the sea.

With our present knowledge we are beginning to prove out in science the close relationship of basic life and the salt sea.

The stable structure of ocean water is the nearest natural compound to the human bloodstream. Both the animal kingdom and vegetable life find themselves most at home in the salt waters that were the original home of all life. The sea is biologically independent of the land but much of the life on land depends for its existence on the bland governance of the sea in controlling destructive extremes of climate. Made by the climate machine, and again manufacturing its own climate and affecting that of the surrounding continents, the Atlantic waters have governed and directed the advance of modern western civilization to a marked degree.

Just what is climate? Let's call it the prevailing conditions of the atmosphere in which we live, controlled by the perpetual adjustments made necessary by the varying capacities of air and vapor, of land and sea, of forest and desert and ice-cap, to store or transmit the fierce energy of the sun. Climate, in short, is the manifestation of the sun's energy working through what we like to think is the fixed mechanics of the Earth's physical make-up. It is certain relationships of land, water and air, charged with heat, forming a huge invisible engine that guides the Ocean River.

So, when we think of the term Ocean River we must think in terms of a balanced and rhythmical system of natural forces of sun and wind and water and the lands surrounding and defining this system. We will see that coastlines rise and fall, that possibly whole continents drift across the face of the globe and that the ocean currents wavering in their passage from shore to shore hold the tiny life of man in a delicate balance of elemental phenomena.

Around the banks of this life-giving Ocean River is the present home of western man and the Atlantic Community. If we can put ourselves in tune with this slow majestic revolve of fruitful waters, if we can so adjust our sense of time that we can fit the past thousand years of historical development into a single unit of expansion for western man, we will be able to visualize ourselves and nature as a lawful entity, a necessary partnership that has purpose and design in spite of the apparent chaos in the world around us.

PERSONNEL EXPANSION Navol Reservists Eligible Re-Enlist as Regulars

to

Three hundred and seventy-three Naval Reserve enlisted men on active duty have been authorized to enlist for service in the Regular Navy in the two highest enlisted pay grades. They may be discharged from the Naval Reserve for immediate re-enlistment in the Regular Navy provided they meet all eligibility requirements.

The men listed are those who successfully passed the service-wide competitive examinations for chief petty officer held on January 29, 1952 and have indicated their desire and have been recommended by their commanding officers for such enlistment.

Reservists on both general assignment and in continuous active duty billets in the Naval Reserve program are included in the listing.

There were 1,067 Naval Reserve candidates who passed their general service rating examinations for chief petty officer. Of this number, 373 indicated their desire to enlist in the Regular Navy.

Personnel whose marks on the examination were not high enough for re-enlistment for service as chiefs in the Regular Navy have been authorized to re-enlist for service as first class petty officers, it was stated.

NROTC P r o g r a m

Procedure to be followed by all Naval and Marine Corps commands for the nominating of enlisted personnel to participate in the service-wide competitive examinations to be given on December 13, 1952 for entry into the Navy College training program, the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been announced.

Successful candidates will be given a four-year college education with government assistance and will be commissioned as officers of the Navy or Marine Corps upon graduation.

Currently, selections are being made at the U. S. Naval Preparatory School, Bainbridge, Md., of Fleet candidates who have passed all phases of the 1952 competition.

It is anticipated that successful candidates for the 1952 program will be discharged from enlisted status in August in order to accept appointments as midshipmen, USNR, and orders to one of the 52 universities having N R O T C units, in September.

Ten percent of the naval scholarships offered are available to enlisted personnel on active duty in a Regular or Reserve component of the naval service.

Reservists not on active duty must compete as civilian candidates. The procedure for civilian candidates to follow in applying for the college training program will be announced at a later date.

ROC Schools M o v e

Reserve Officer Candidate schools for men and women candidates have been moved from Treasure Island, San Francisco, Calif., and Great Lakes, 111., respectively. This year, men candidates have been sent to the Naval Station, Long Beach, Calif., and women candidates to the Xaval Training Center, Bainbridge, Md. Classes convened on July 7, 1952.

The ROC program is designed to augment Reserve officer procurement. Candidates are college students with enlisted status in the Naval Reserve. They attend two summer training periods and receive training in navigation, gunnery, leadership, communications, seamanship, and naval orientation with appropriate modifications in the school for women.

Upon completion of the two six-week training periods and receipt of the baccalaureate, the candidates are commissioned Ensign, U. S. Naval Reserve and, thereby, augment other sources of Reserve Officer procurement and assist in maintaining a continuing flow of newly commissioned Reserve Officers in numbers sufficient to keep the Naval Reserve at authorized officer personnel strength.

The basic training period is completed during the summer immediately following selection for enrollment. The advanced period must be completed not later than the summer following receipt of the baccalaureate degree. All candidates must agree to retain their status in the Naval Reserve until commissioned or disenrolled from the program.

Men candidates must agree to serve not less than two years on active duty, if called by the Secretary of the Navy, and to remain a member of a Regular or a Reserve Component of the Naval service until the 8th anniversary of the appointment.

This year approximately 1,250 men candidates and 75 women candidates have been enrolled in the basic training period. Another 1,100 men candidates and 100 women candidates will attend the advanced classes.

MISCELLANEOUS Marines

in Korea

Attend

Divine

Services

Marines in Korea have ample opportunity to attend regular divine services even though they are in the thick of fighting, according to the Navy's Chaplains Division, and many men are taking time out for worship.

Services are held every Sunday at the regimental and battalion command posts and company and platoon positions of the First Marine Division by the 26 Navy Chaplains assigned to the area. The Chaplains also visit men in the front lines during the week to hold church services, distribute Testaments and religious pamphlets, and to counsel the men.

During the month of June, 1,298 divine services were held in Korea. One Chaplain, Lt. Robert H. .Willets, USNR, conducted 86 of those services. Catholic Chaplains held three masses each Sunday plus a mass and one other service daily.

Fifteen hundred letters were mailed out to worried wives and parents by the Chaplains during June and more than 300 hospital calls were made by them.

ADMIRAL HILL WELCOMES SUCCESSOR. . . . V. Adm. Harry W. Hill, USN, retiring Superintendent of the U. S. Naval Academy, welcomes his successor, V. Adm. C. Turner Joy, USN, former senior delegate to the United Nations' Korean truce talks, during brief ceremonies at Bancroft Hall on August 4. Two thousand midshipmen witnessed the change of command.

Midshipmen of the second and fourth classes attended the ceremony, with Heads of Academic Departments and commanding officers of the various activities of the Severn River Naval Command. Officers of the Command and of nearby military installations, members of the civilian faculty, retired officers living in the Annapolis area, and their families also attended.

Admiral Hill had been Superintendent of the Naval Academy since April 1950.

He and Mrs. Hill plan to take a leisurely transcontinental automobile trip, returning to the East Coast in the fall. They will make their home in Philadelphia, Pa.

Admiral Joy recently returned from Korea, where he was in command of U. S. Naval Forces, Far East, and senior United Nations' delegate at the armistice conference in Pan Mun Jom. The change of command ceremony took place on the front terrace of Bancroft Hall, facing Tecumseh Court. It began at 11:00 A.M. with a bugler sounding "Attention" at the arrival of the two admirals.

A full Marine honor guard from the Marine Barracks came to "present arms," while the Naval Academy Band sounded off with three ruffles and flourishes, followed by the "Admiral's March."

Admiral Hill, who completed more than 45 years of continuous active naval service, then read the orders relieving him of all active duty. Although he reached the statutory retirement age on May 1, he was retained on the active list since that time, and retires with the four-star rank of admiral.

Governor McKeldin Calls on A d m i r a l Joy V. Adm. C. Turner Joy, USN, paid his first official call on Maryland Governor Theodore R. McKeldin in Annapolis' colonial Government House at eleven o'clock on August 5.

Governor McKeldin returned the call on Thursday, August 7, when he visited Admiral Joy at the Naval Academy.

Upon his arrival at 11:00 a.m.. Governor McKeldin was greeted by the new Superintendent and members of his staff in front of the Administration Building. A full Marine honor guard and the Academy Band rendered military honors for the visiting governor, which included four "ruffles and flourishes" and "Maryland, My Maryland" by the band, and a nineteen-gun salute fired by the Stribling Walk Battery.

The Maryland governor paid his first official call to the Academy on January IS, 1951 shortly after his inauguration. He was then the guest of Admiral Hill, former superintendent, who was relieved by Admiral Joy.

"I come to Annapolis from the Far East to relieve Admiral Hill as Superintendent of the Naval Academy and as Commandant of the Severn River Naval Command. I do so with a deep sense of pride and with a clear realization of the responsibility and the opportunity that lie before me.

"In the world of today, no job can be more important than that of preparing and encouraging youth to meet the challenge of tomorrow. "The nation has never stood more in need of men of integrity and professional competence—resolute leaders who will command the respect not only of the free world but also of the unscrupulous enemy who threatens our way of life. I am proud to have been called to the task, but I could not be more humble in face of the responsibility and the opportunity.

"I succeed a great naval leader whose distinguished performance of duty throughout his career merits the tribute of a sincere and hearty 'well done' from all of us.

Admiral Hill's administration of this command during the past two and a half years has evoked only the highest praise from those best qualified to judge—the operating forces. I assure you that I will give the best that is in me to maintain the same high standards that have characterized his ad-

Midshipmen Return Plans for "Alumni f r o m Cruise; Begin Homecoming" Summer Leave The Naval Academy is making plans for its annual "Alumni Homecoming," scheduled for Friday and Saturday, October 10-11, when an anticipated 3,000 former midshipmen are expected to converge on their alma mater.

The books, packed in 21 crates, each weighing over 450 pounds, left Annapolis recently for the Far East.

In response to a request from Capt.

H. T. Jarrell, U S N (Ret.), Naval Attache to the American Embassy at Taipei, Taiwan, some 780 members of the Class of 1952 contributed their used books upon graduating on June 6.

The Chinese (Nationalist) Naval Academy has approximately 900 midshipmen, who receive most of their professional instruction in the English language from English texts. Being able to speak and read English, they will have little difficulty with the Annapolis textbooks. According to Captain Jarrell, the Chinese academy owns so few textbooks that those they have must be kept in libraries and classrooms, where they may be shared by students and instructors alike. The American midshipmen's donations, in addition to alleviating the acute shortage of modern texts, will permit the issuance of books to individual midshipmen at the Chinese Naval Academy.

Annual summer leave began at noon on August 5 for the second class. The two other upper classes, who returned that night from Norfolk, Va., where they concluded their European cruise, left next day Last year's homecoming saw over 2,500 for a month's vacation. alumni return to this 107-year-old instituThe second classmen have been undertion.

WAVES FIND NAVAL ACADEMY'S "ENTERPRISE BELL" INTERESTING...

Halting their recent tour of the U. S. Naval Academy momentarily, these WAVE Reserve Officer Candidates look over the historic bell which formerly belonged to the famed aircraft carrier USS ENTERPRISE. The WAVES visited the Academy as a sidelight of their tenth anniversary celebrations. All are college students undergoing six weeks of Navy indoctrination. Upon graduation and successful completion of the summer training periods, they will be commissioned Ensigns (W) in the Naval Reserve.

The idea of an experimental station for testing equipment before installing it in naval vessels was conceived by the late R. Adm. George W. Melville, famous Arctic explorer, who became Engineer-inChief of the Navy in 1887. Admiral Melville convinced Congress that such a station would increase the efficiency of the Navy, and on June 30, 1903, $400,000 was appropriated to establish it.

Mrs. Kenneth Wood of Richmond, Va., granddaughter of Admiral Melville, visited the Experiment Station on its 48th anniversary.

Capt. Bosquet N. Wev, U S N A '27, takes on a bit more distinction from being the brother of Capt. Oscar Wev, USCG, who has been assigned to the signal honor of commanding officer of the new and unprecedented floating Voice of America, the ship that is to broadcast, in seas unknown, the messages that the Voice of America now broadcasts from shore stations to peoples in the remotest parts of the world in languages and dialects suited to listeners everywhere.

Capt. Oscar Wev was received by the President of the United States in the White House on the occasion of the President's broadcast on March 4 that made known to all the world that the Voice ha:d taken to the seas. The name of the ship is the COURIER. She was a former Navy cargo ship, recently taken from mothballs for conversion to the floating Voice. "Her cargo now," said President Truman, "is a cargo of truth."

The COURIER can rig the highest aerial of any ship afloat, it is believed. The height of nine hundred feet for the antenna is achieved by aerial balloons, inflated with helium.

Reverting to the Navy Captain Wev, it is worthy of mention that Bosquet N. Wev, Jr., was commissioned an ensign in the Navy on his graduation from the Naval -Academy on last June 6 as his mother and father looked proudly on. Captain Wev is Chief of Staff of the .Atlantic Amphibious Force.

Dr. J. C. Hunsaker has received the distinguished award: The Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy, an award to the person who has rendered public service of enduring value to aviation in the United States.

The honor to Dr. Hunsaker was incident to the dinner of the Aero Club in honor of the first heavier-than-air flight on December 17, 1903.

This trophy, which was established in 1948, was then given to another Naval Academy graduate, the world renowned William F. Durand of the Class of 1880, who now resides in Brooklyn.

Jerome Hunsaker, first in his Academy class, is Chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Long a member of the faculty at M I T , he established there the first course in the United States for aeronautical engineers.

V. A d m . E d w a r d L. Cochrane R e a p p o i n t e d Maritime Administrator

President Truman has named V. Adm. Edward L. Cochrane for a second term of four years as CThairman of the U. S. Maritime Administration. His nomination was speedily approved by the U. S. Senate.

S E P T E M B E R ,

1 9 5 2

Admiral Cochrane had indicated his desire to take up his new duty as Dean of the Engineering School at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but in response to the President's request, he accepted the renewal of his Chairmanship.

This job covers the vast field of development, and efficiency of the American Merchant Marine—the replacement of obsolete units and the design and building of new ships with speed and other qualities for out-running and out-maneuvering the modern submarines and enemy aircraft.

The new speed queen of the Atlantic, the UNITED STATES, has been publicly de-

scribed as a ship capable of large troop carriage and cargo capacity that is fast enough to make her way alone and not in convoy.

Admiral Cochrane recently said that we have a pressing need for new passenger vessels and new tankers. The Merchant Marine, he said, is now better off than a year ago and better than ever to meet its mounting responsibilities in the defense of the world.

"The Merchant Marine needs additional passenger ship tonnage which could carry troops in emergencies, as well as more tankers which would be vitally necessary if international conditions worsen."

take a directive part in discussions which are now swirling about us since we have maintained the above standards through many years and in view of our unique position in the educational world as a government institution preparing young men for service in the Navy. At present, all athletic policies are in accord with those established by the conference."

NAVY ELEVEN OPENS WITH YALE SEPTEMBER 27 Erdelatz Switches to Single Wing As "T" Is Abandoned Eddie Erdelatz is convinced that he has found a substitute offense for the " T " after using variations of that formation in his first two seasons at the Naval Academy.

He has abandoned the " T " for a single wing attack that combines the features of the Notre Dame box and the old smgle wing power.

Lacking an outstanding quarterback, the heart of the " T " formation, he has installed an attack designed to compensate for this handicap. It's the single wing with

frills.

The " T " will practically disappear except that Navy will line up in it after leaving the huddle before shifting into the wing or box formation. It also is possible that they may still run a play or two from the 'T"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;"when we need a fast getaway," says Erdelatz. The Middies will shift most of the time, however, into a right or left single wing or box.

The difference between the wing and box is a matter of spacing between the fullback and tailback and all will be done behind a balanced line. "It's got a lot of deception (Continued on next page)

The youngster-dominated crew streaked to its. fourteenth and most important victory of the year leaving Russia trailing in its wake by a length and a half. Australia, Great Britain and Germany trailed in that order.

The victory was the seventh in a row for

United States eights in the Olympics. The Navy crew of 1920 started the custom.

Stroked by 19-year-old Ed Stevens of Detroit, the Navy shell shot to the front with a 40 beat and soon opened up a gap on their rivals. The Britons, made up of past and present Cambridge Blues, pulled even at the 500-meter mark, but Navy Coxswain Dave Manring of Cleveland yelled "pour it on," and Navy moved away.

"We shot a half length ahead of the English boat and that was it," said the 125pound Ensign Manring. "From then on the boys rolled along full steam in the greatest race they ever rowed. We made it a full S H I P M A T E

length at the 1000 and we knew we had them beat."

Navy was timed in 6:25.9 for the 2000 meters in the face of a headwind. Russia was clocked at 6 :31.2 and Australia finished in 6:33.1.

The winning U. S. crew was made up of: Bow. Frank Shakespeare, Dover, Del.; 2, Bill Fields, Forsyth, Ga.; 3, Jim Dunbar, Darlington, Ind.; 4, Dick Murphy, Oaklyn, N.

"Spring practice was the best we have had," says Erdelatz. "We've got a lot of fellows who love to play football. No individual is so outstanding that he has his position cinched. Therefore, competition is really keen—the way I like it."

All work was concentrated on offense during spring drills and it seemingly paid off in speedy development. The Navy coach also is of the opinion that the new attack "will give Navy the best offense we have had in my time here."

For the first time since World War II, it is no longer possible to call the Navy schedule the toughest in collegiate football.

The 1952 card has somewhat the flavor of a Middle schedule of the pre-war days, (jone are such powers as California and Southern Cal, Northwestern, Tulane, Wisconsin, Missouri and Rice. Gone also is the strong Princeton eleven of recent years.

Navy opens with Yale. Then there will be Cornell instead of Princeton, William and Mary in place of Rice, and Duke is substituted for Northwestern. Maryland, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Columbia and Army round out the 1952 lineup. It's not an easy schedule as Maryland, Notre Dame and Duke will make any card tough. But it's not the back-breaking kind that the Midshipmen have attempted since the war years.

The 45-man Navy squad consists of 18 returning lettermen, four of last year's reserves who failed to win letters, 13 jayvees and 10 men up from the undefeated plebe eleven.

Robert A. Renneman, 1926-1952 In the August number of Shipmate there was published under the notes of his class a brief account of the death of 1st Lt. Robert A. Renneman, Class of 1951 and the Naval Academy athlete of note. Subsequent to the publication of this notice. Shipmate has come into possession of further information in connection with Renneman's death which should serve as an inspiration to those of us who are still following where he led the way.

When Renneman entered the Naval Academy he was six feet two inches tall and weighed 200 pounds. His exploits on the football field are too well known to require recounting here except to note that SEPTEMBER,

1952

he was one of the mainstays of the great Naval Academy football teams of his time and always did more than his part in carrying out his assigned duties.

During his course as a midshipman. Bob grew three inches as a result of which shortly before his graduation he found himself one inch over the allowed height to be commissioned in the naval service.

In June 1951 he was graduated in the first third of his class but due to the height limitations was not commissioned. Because he felt that it is the obligation of all young -Americans, particularly those with military training, to serve their country in this time of necessity, Renneman was not content to go into civil life, and because he had previous Army experience prior to his entrance into the Naval Academy, he applied for and received a commission in that branch of the armed forces within thirty days of his graduation from the Naval Academy.

In March 1952 he was sent to Korea and on June 16 while leading his company against an outpost line of resistance at Puiong Gang, he was killed by enemy fire.

On the day before his death. Bob wrote his mother and dad a letter which was given to the 1st Sergeant of his company to be mailed to his parents in the event that he was reported dead or missing in action. It was the sad duty of the Sergeant to mail this letter on the following day.

Mr. and Mrs. Renneman very kindly made this letter available to a writer from the New York Herald Tribune which, in its edition of 14 July, quotes certain extracts as follows: "You will not receive this letter until after I have been reported dead or missing in action. I am giving it to the 1st Sergeant to be mailed only in that event. I never expect that you will ever receive this, but there are a few though^ that I would like to leave you in the event that something goes amiss.

"First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for all you have both done for me. You have raised me to be able to stand on my own two feet with courage, confidence and without fear. This is more than any man and soldier could ask f o r . . . .

In addition, your training me in Christianity has and will always give me comfort both alive and dead. I use the word 'dead' in its (Thristian meaning of life everlasting with My God and Our Saviour.

"The actions I have taken that have caused my death were taken freely and voluntarily and are no one's fault. I chose to live and die as you have brought me up—a man, a soldier and a Christian."

His new duties will consist of the supervision of the operation of the new ECA plant located there. About a year ago. Admiral Hoover went with ECA as Assistant Manager of the Commission's Sandia Field Office at Albuquerque, N. M. His association with atomic energy dates back to 1949 when President Roosevelt appointed him as a member of the first committee on uranium which was formed to explore the feasibility of atomic weapons. Admiral Hoover and his family will make their residence at 3051 Seventh Street, Boulder, Colo.

ALUMNI NEWS

Good News While the complete auditor's report for the fiscal year which ended on 30 June will be published in the November number of Shipmate, after being acted upon by the Board of the Association at its October meeting, the news is so cheering that we want to give you some of the highlights while they are fresh.

In the last year, the Association made a net profit of $14,900.00. At the close of business on 30 June we had cash on hand amounting to $27,250.00 and in addition, we have set up a special reserve w i t h the fees paid by life members which on that date amounted to $5,400.00.

W e are completely free of indebtedness although we d o have a mortgage of $49,000.00 on our property which is being carried by Equitable and is being systematically amorti2ed.

Our buildings, furniture and fixtures are being depreciated on a regular schedule and the current total net worth of the Association is something in excess of $109,000.00.

Compare this with the gloomy picture with which we were confronted only a few years ago and you will see what tremendous strides have been made by the Association in an unbelievably short period of time.

W e k n o w that this will be mighty good reading to all of our members but we want a lot more of our Alumni to enjoy it with us, so use this ammunition and go g u n n i n g for some new members; what's more, DO I T N O W .

The U S N A Alumni Association will have a special car again this year on the official train to the Army-Navy game on 29 November and will run connecting buses for it between Alumni House and B.&O. Camden Station in Baltimore. Due to limited space in the car, tickets are sold on a first-come, firstserved basis. There are no reservations; tickets must be picked up and paid for at the Alumni House. Round trip tickets will be $9.00 each.

If there is sufficient demand, Alumni House will arrange for buses to take drags from Annapolis to the Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia for the ArmyNavy game on 1 December. Buses will wait at the Stadium until one-half hour after the end of the game, then proceed to the Bellevue-Stratford and wait until the expiration of liberty at 0100 when they will return to Annapolis. Round trip tickets will be $8.00 each and may be bought from Mrs. Crawford at Alumni House prior to Tuesday, 27 November. Buses will leave Alumni House at 0730 Saturday morning, 29 November 1952.

Developed by R C A for the Air Force to aid blind bombing during World War I I , SHORAN is helping to set astonishing records for pinpoint accuracy under conditions where visual bombing would be impossible!

Here's how it works. Two vddely separated SHORAN stations on the ground or aboard ship form the base line of a triangle. Your plane is the apex. Pulsed radar signals from your SHORAN are picked up by both ground stations and re-transmitted back to you. On your radar screen you see one " p i p " for each station signal.

Using cahbrated dials, you triangulate these " p i p s " for your "fix." T h e operation is done in seconds.

SHORAN development is just one example of the way RCA works in close co-operation with the military services to guarantee U. S. supremacy in electronics. Meet the R C A Engineers and Field Technicians in your branch of service.

"A recent issue of an Annapolis newspaper carried notice that more than 20 of the Class of 1922 were among those who had accounts dormant for a period of twenty years or more in the Annapolis Banking Trust Co. If not claimed prior to mid-December, the funds will revert to the State of Maryland. Letters have been written to those for whom we have addresses. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the survivors of M. J. F L A N D E R S or LEONARD SOWER is requested to advise them to contact the bank. Those classmates for whom we have no addresses whose names appear on the list are: D. W. GARDNER, J. A. McBRIDE, and T. H. O C H I L T R E E . The class should be proud that so many of our members have reached that stage of affluence which permits scattering of bank accounts around the country to the extent that some are forgotten."

New Leaders of America's Merchant Fleet H e r e is the most important addition to America's M e r c h a n t Marine since the W a r — the Maritime Administration's new Mariner Class cargo ships. Some of these vessels have already been launched . . . all thirty-five of the fleet will be afloat within the next twenty months.

T h e Mariners will be the world's fastest dry cargo fleet, with a speed in excess of 20 knots. T h e y will also be among the largest general cargo vessels — 560' 10", LOA, with a molded b e a m of 76' and a deadweight capacity of 12,910 tons. Their geared-turbine drive will develop 17,500 shaft horsepower.

Fifteen of these trim new ships will be powered with Combustion Engineering-Superheater, Inc. Bent T u b e Boilers. E a c h boiler will deliver 64,000 lb of steam per hr at 600 psi and 865 F , at normal capacity ., . overload capacity is 96,000 lb per hr.

T h e selection of C-E Boilers for fifteen of t h e new Mariners recalls Combustion's major role in supplying boilers for hundreds of other Maritime Commission ships — C-ships, Victories, Liberties, tankers, and m a n y others of special types — built during World W a r IL B-568A

the rank of Rear Admiral: Howard L. Collins, W. Lawrence Erdmann, Robert S. Hatcher ( A E D ) , Armand M. Morgan ( E D O ) Lester K. Rice and George C. Towner.

Many of us on the East Coast will regret that J O E LILLARD is going to leave us, by his retirement on a physical last month. But, unless there has been a great change in the California population in the last 25 years, he won't be among strangers—and even so Joe wouldn't long be a stranger! Some of us who knew Joe when he was a JO in the N E W MEXICO

were pretty well convinced that everybody on the West Coast knew him. Good luck, Joe! News of our July luncheon in Washington came in too late for the August edition —and we want all you news-suppliers to remember we can't make 'em slow up the presses to get our copy—but the crowd at Washington had their meeting on July 24, and the speaker was ED CLEXTON. Subject: budget, still a serious problem.

Keeping Ed company were Bachmann, Bradley, Bob Campbell, Cole, Domer, Duvall, Furth, Hayes, Hartwig, Jaudon, Kalisch, Lewis, Lillard, Neale, Nesser, Neill Phillips, Rawlings, Ramsey, Richter, Robinson, Sisson, Van Steenbergh, Weeden and Wilkin.

Now in August, at the Washington luncheon, only 13 of the above who were present in July attended, and yet the total in August was 28. That illustrates what the "turnover" is over there. L E O N A R D J A U D O N reports he has 82 on the lunch group mailing list now. COACH RAMSEY provided the speech-making that resulted in a very interesting meeting. Fresh from the political conventions, he gave a good expose of the picture on the political front for the benefit of Ashenhurst, Bachman, Berliner, Collins, Curran, DuVall, Farrell, Furth, Hartwig, Hayes, Abrahams, Jaudon, Kalisch, Lewis, Meints, Neale, Norman, Rawlings, Roane, Robinson, Sinclair, Sisson, Sullivan, Sylvester, Thomas, Wilkin and Rollo Wilson.

Did you hear MIN MILLER on the radio from New York on July 3? We thought he was in rather good voice, and he did not waste any time in his enthusiasm for the Crusade for Freedom, of which he is president. Min stated that Crusade now has 13 transmitters going in Germany and Portugal. In addition transmitters will soon be operating in "Radio Free Asia," and the radio work is supplemented by balloon messages. The Crusade for Freedom will conduct a special campaign in November and December this year.

K is for KILLER The craft pictured above is the Navy's first Killer-type submarine. She is designed for the specific purpose of seeking out and destroying enemy subs. The K-1 displaces 750 tons, is only half as big as a fleet-type sub, and carries a crew of 40 men. The streamlined tank-like structure on her bow contains top secret sound detection equipment. For knocking out the enemy subs she tracks down, the K-1 is armed with electronic homing torpedoes.

This deadly new submersible was designed and built at the Groton, Conn., yards of Electric Boat, in close collaboration ^ t h Navy experts.

Producing undersea craft of new and revolutionary types is only one of Electric Boat's activities in strengthening hemispheric defenses. At Canadair Limited, a subsidiary of The Corporation, jet and other military planes are being turned out for the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air Force.

he is back at home again and that recovery, while slow, will be complete.

Also on the grim side of the news, I hear that DON and Dotty HARDY had an auto accident in Norfolk, serious mainly in the inconvenience it caused just at the time of change of duty orders to the West Coast.

But to return to the more pleasant events of the month, a BYOL dinner dance on the Country Club roof is scheduled for Saturday, 30 August. Details still aren't firm, but if our batting average for the year on fine parties is any indication, it will be another extremely enjoyable evening.

I hear pleasant news from T O M GARY down Greenwood, Miss., way. Tom resigned shortly after the war to help manage his father's large cotton plantation and is doing very well at it. Any of you folks who happen to be driving through the South will find a very warm welcome at the Gary residence.

Sorry I missed out on connections with you last week, Jim. I was busy trying to locate a Geiger counter to see if you are safe to talk with and just couldn't get over your way in time.

Last week Harry HIGGS visited the Washington area for several days on T A D from the West Coast, and I also ran into Col. J O E SKOCZYL.\S (in from Norfolk) and Pat and Ben J.ARVIS, Al and Betsy T O U L O N from Annapolis. I hear that Link and Jenny M.\RCY are visiting the H. D. George F O R B E S in Annapolis, but overnight poker games don't count in this column.

1 hear good tidings from Ellen and Ebby BELL who are still enjoying life at the Staff College in Norfolk.

The final item of news is a story I didn't get, the coverage on the Dick T U N NELL marriage scheduled for the very near future. I hope to present the whole story in the next issue.

I'll wind up this month with a story Squire H I G G I N S contributed about a poverty stricken preacher in the deep South whose bicycle, his only means of transportation, was stolen. A friend suggested he give a sermon on the Ten Commandments and stress the one on stealing with sufficient eloquence to inspire contrition in the culprit's heart. Came Sunday and the sermon, but thievery was virtually unmentioned and an ardent twenty minutes was devoted to the evils of adultery. After the sermon his friend was very perplexed and asked the reason, only to be informed, "I just remembered where I left that darn bicycle."

Having lost my bicycle, I'm on my horse.

(Continued from page 15) radio communications and a good century earlier than any work on radar. Yet with all that time lead, sonar had to wait upon the developments in electronics which came so many years later. The difficulties encountered in obtaining information concerning transmission anomalies of sound under water were overcome only when the versatilities and flexibilities afforded by electronics were employed. Underwater acoustical methods then had to be developed taking into consideration all the limitations imposed by the physical phenomena existing in the seas.

>% fe//upon them si^g/if^'

Three Bulls fed in a field together in the greatest of peace and amity. A Lion had long watched them in the hope of making a prize of them, but found that there was little chance for him so long as they kept all together. He therefore began secretly to spread evil and slanderous reports of one against the other, till he had fomented a jealousy and distrust amongst them. No sooner did the Lion see that they avoided one another, and fed each by himself apart, than he fell upon them singly, and so made an easy prey of them all.

The quarrels of friends a r e t h e opportunities of foes.
