MORE VESSELS AN). [f= PLANES FOR NAVAL DIVISIONS PLANNED —______ Fortification of Pacific Ocean Possessions Also Under U. S. Consideration ——__ Editor’s Note: Should war break out the navy might be America’s first line of defense. In this second of 2 series of three stories on national defense the Associated Press reports what the nation is doing to keep its sea forces at fighting strength, Washington, Mar. 9.—(?)—The navy will start. building two new battle- ships this year in line with the na- tion’s traditional policy of maintain- ing a sea force second to none, More vessels of all kinds, a doubled airforce and possible fortification of ae Ocean possessions also are in The battleships will be the first begun since 1023 but they may not be the last to be undertaken soon. This was hinted by Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, re- cently when the British disclosed plans for @ big building program. He .told the house appropriations committee two miore battleships may be started in 1939. Each Has 307 Vessels - ‘The United States and Great Brit- ain lead the world in naval ships, each with 307 vessels of all types. America is building or plans to start in the hext year 90 more, but Britain 4s building about 75 ships and has announced plans to start 80 more next year. The Washington and London naval treaties stalemated the construction race for approximately 15 years. But the lmitations expired December 31. - While the army maintains a skel- eton organization primed for emer- gency expansion, the navy keeps its eyes. more on current strength. It takes too long to build a ship to wait until war comes—a battleship may take two or three years to construct. Other Questions Raised But expiration of the treaties has raised otherquestions besides ship- building. The pacts stalled fortifica- tion of Pacific ocean possessions by the United States, Japan and Great Britain. None of these nations has taken steps so far to take advantage of the new liberty. Some navy officers are reported to favor fortification of the Aleutian Islands, Guam and the Philippines. In. some army circles, such expendi- tures are not deemed profitable. To improve mobility of the fleet in’ the Pacific, the navy also is seek- fe sul a ‘The new battleships, the Washing- ton and North Carolina, each will cost $50,000,000, gross 35,000 tons, and carry either nine 16-inch or twelve 44-inch guns. 2 ‘The United States now has 15 bat- tleships, but Leahy told congressmen eight of them need modernization. The navy also has under construc- tion or to be started in the next fis-|!" cal year three new aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, nine light cruis- ers, 20 submarines, 56 destroyers, and one gunboat. The program is sched- uled for completion in 1942.
