The (Knicker- becker) History contains no less Soviet Pushes For Effective New Fleet By ELTON C. FAY _ AP Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON (#—Swift, highly maneuverable cruisers, destroyers, submarines and troop-carrying merchantmen are going into the new fleet Russia is creating for use if she gambles on a conquest of Europe. : Some of her submarines are rated as rivals in underwater speed to the new U.S. atomic models, Authorities here estimated that in cruiser construction alone Soviet building during the last few years has exceeded the total built by the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies. Currently, Russia is believed to have more than 30 cruisers built or building, including an ultramod- ern, swift, highly maneuverable type designated as the Sverdlov class. Only one of the class has been seen by the Western world, when it abpeared for Britain’s corona- tion ceremonies last summer. Pre- sumably it and others are based at White Sea ports, like Murmansk, toward wifich the Sverdlov was seen heading after it sailed from England. Cruisers like this are es- pecially useful as raiders against combatant and merchant ships of other nations and in support of amphibious landing operations. The Sverdiov, listed by the Rus- sians as a 12,000-ton ship, but seeming much heavier, maneu- vered swiftly and easily as Western naval experts watched it on its visit last summer, Equipment of the Sverdlov class compares favorably with that of the best American and British combatant craft. Fire control radar equipment for the main armament (apparently about six-inch weap- ons) and anti-aircraft weapons: . were noted. Naval men still estimate the size of the Soviet submarine force at about 300 craft, a figure used as far back as 1948, But since then modern craft, presumably in- cluding the Type XXVI submer- sibles désigned by Germany's sub-} marine experts, are rapidly replac- ing the conglomeration of older -subs which the Soviets had or in-/ 7,000 persons lined Oslo’s water- front last night to cheer the liner Stavangerfjord after her 2,050-mile Atlantic trip without a rudder. The big liner, whose captain |St. steered with the vessel's twin pro- pellers after she lost her rudder in a hurricane Dec. 8, docked only two days lat. Many of the Stavangerfjord’s 644 passengers were Americans of Seandinavian origin from Minne- sota and Wisconsin going to the old country for Christmas. The liner was three days and 1,000 miles out of New York when the accident occurred. The rest of| the trip took nine days. The pople of Puerto Rico have been U.
