Today the Naval Base in Key Anti-Sub- farine Warfare program of the Navy. The clear, blue waters of the Atlantic off Key West is the ideal place for the, Navy to look for the answers to a challenge to America sea power. Commanded by Captain C. C. Adell, USN. all. components of the Naval “Base are’ directing their efforts to the improvement of Weapons to ‘cornbat ~ the sub- marine. '' Every ©" morning channel is a _busy thoroughfare with submarines, destroyers and other vessels putting out to sea for the daylong maneuvers. Overhead is the hum of blimps and planes equipped with im- detecting and More than ever anti-submarine warfare depends on sonar, and new ways of using this detector are being developed all the time. Sonar is to anti-submarine war- fare what radar is to air warfare. Radar. will not penetrate water for any distance, sonar will. Sonar sends sound waves 1 through the water and when they strike an object an echo is re- flected back to the sonar screen. From thesé echoes the bearing, speed, depth, and course of a sub gan be ascertained. As with’ anything else Sonar has its limitations: One of these is the short range.’ Another is that when a disturbance is caus- ed in the water such’ as a burst: ing ‘depth. ‘charge that. will also cause an Scho from?’ the. ,.sound waves sent out. Sonar operators must be able to distinguish be- tween fish, water disturbances, and} subsharines'.on the sound screen. “ Top admirals of the Navy have emphasized the. .importance of developing Anti-Submarine War- fare. In his first speech as new Chief of Naval Operations, Ad4 miral Forrest P. Sherman, recent- ly emphasized that the Navy was concentrating on developing new anti-submarine startegy, Admiral W. H. P. Blandy said recently during change of com- monies aboard the car- ranklin D. Roosevelt, “The Atlantic Fleet has been working on ubmarine war- fare for some y and particu- larly in the past ar we have made great pro During the war at progress was made in the combatting of submarines. But now, since new submarine: have been developed that do not have to surface to charge their batteries, new prob- lems have developed The minute an old ‘type sub came to the surface to .chargg her batteries she became. a wide open target for aircraft. The new snorkel-type subs which can re- main under the, water indefinitely present the problem of being found. They “breathe” through a small tube put up for air. The fube is so small it is hard to pick up by radar even on a calm day. When the seas are choppy it is almost impossible, because the ocean waves blur the snorkel on the radar screens.
