NAVAL CARRIERS' HEROI The full story of the Navy's airplane carriers was one of the most heroic of the war, and the heroism. was évefi greater because of a serfous defect discovered in the carriers after the Navy had built most of them. This defect—like most of the Navy's trouble—was due to faulty engineering and bad planning. Airplane-carrier designers had fail- ed to take into consideration the possibility that decks were vulner- able and that once the deck of a carrier was torn up, no plane could take off. The Japs, however, soon discover- ed this. The result was that suicide Jap fighter planes dived for the deck of carrier after rier with deadly ~casualties. Entirely . aside from the tragic loss of life, so many carriers were put out of comm sion’ that they had to be sent the way through the Panama Can- 8l -to_the Altlantic Coast for re- pRirs.

But if they could sneak up on the Japanese mainland under cover of night, make their attack at dawn, and then retreat, their losses were much less. | BATTLE OF LEYTE BLUNDER It was the battle of Leyte, where carriers also played an important sary. | The command in the battle of Leyte was divided as follows Gen-i eral MacArthur commanded not| only the Army but the western | fleet under Adm. Tom Kincaid. It was Kincaid’s job to protect the landing of MacArthur’s troops, The rest of the fleet was under Admiral Nimitz who had delegated the im- | mediate command to Admiral Hal- supposed to keep sed at all times of his movements, but not take orders from him. During the course of the battle, Halsey advised Admiral Kin- caid that a squadron of Jap ves- ippines from the north, and at the major battle and give chase. When the appropriate time ar- rived, Admiral Halsey picked up his fleet telephone and told his commanders that X-time had ar- rived and to carry out their orders, previousl received. His part of the fleet thereupon sailed off to the north. 'The battleships went with him However, Halsey's fleet telephone did not have the range to reach a I of his fleet.
