PROPOSES TRAINING IN QUIET WATERS Capt. Shackford Thinks Crews of New Ships Would Profit in Drilling. Better results In the training of the crews of new ships would be ob- tained by sending them to some quiet waters, such as the Chesapeake Bay. according to a report received at the Navy Department from Capt. Chaun- cey Shackford, commanding one of the new light cruisers, which the United States is putting in service. The Marblehead has just returned froma long foreign cruise, and now Is un- dergoing her final acceptance trials. While exerc d drills have been carried out on the shake-down crulse, rtheless, owing to the fact that she ship was in foreign ports, it was ary to allow much time for ¢ members of Such would not be neces- is suggested, If ships were sent'Into a place like the Chesapeake say, where the vessel would be away the lure of liberty, and the crews ntly _at other nec 1 highly important drills n. to be In favor of the tests at sea, par- ticularly with regard to these new types of crulsers. Machinery tests have shown them not entirely up te the expected mark, but the points learned on the cruisers are being applied on the other vessels- going into commission and bailding. With one of the vessels, it was pointed out, trouble was found with the turbines, and this is very important, for if such a condition would not be found until some actual service, it would be sorious. To some extent, the suggestion of Capt. Shackford is being put into operation in connection with the com- missloning of the U. S. S. Memphis, another of the light cruisers. This vessel will be sent to Guantanamo for a 10-day period of drills, before salling for the West Coast to join the combined battlefleets in the ma- neuvers to be held next month in Ha- wailan waters.
