" The two aircraft carriers, Lexington | Sated and Saratoga, have been put through all of the gunnery program for this fompetitive year in order that they may _.wote themselves entirely to aviation @ctivities. The Saratoga, commanded by Capt. Prederick J. Horne, with Lieut. Comdr. Carleton F. Bryant as gunnery cer, attained the higher final figure merit.

Warris as chief fire-control officer, is leading in that practice in the auxiliary class. Due to the fact that boats of Squad- rons 11 (divisions 30, 31 and 32) and 12 (divisions 34, 35 and 36) of the Battle Fleet, and Squadron 9 (divisions 25, 26 and 27) of the Scouting Fleet are in process of being decommissioned and replaced by vessels from the Reserve, boats of those squadrons will not par- ticipate in the gunnery and engineering competitions of this competitive year ©Owing to the crowded schedule of the g:ltle Fleet, Destroyer Division 45 and e U. 8. 5.
