OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL 21. 1955 NUMBER 36 United States Navy Celebrates 55th Anniversary of the Submarine April 11 As the Navy celebrated the 55th anniversary of its Submarine Service, Monday. April 11. the "true" submarine, capable of stay ing submerged for unlimited peri ods of time, is a reality. It was on April 11. 1900 that the Navy accepted its first sub marine from builder John Phillip Holland. It was a stubby cigar- shaped craft powered by a four cylinder gasoline engine. At that time, the submarine wa- cons d- ered of slight military significance It was not until World Wat II that the underwater craft had a chance to prove its worth as a full-fledged member of the Navy’s fighting team. During World War I. 20 of our early submarines crossed the At lantic for duty in European k waters. However, they never en countered the enemy their main battle was in keeping their cramp ed, uncomfortable and relatively unreliable craft operating.

The final submarine score tells a never-to-be-forgotten story. During World War II. American submarines in the Pacific sank 1,850 Japanese merchant vessels, and more than 2(*I major combat ships. All in all. U. S. subs sank more than 56 per cent of all Jap anese naval and merchant ship ping. Our casualties. 374 officers and 3.131 enlisted men. were pain ful, but the achievement stands as a monument to the greatest submarine force in history. Subs Given “New Look After the war. the Navy mod ernized and improved its subma rines, utilizing the knowledge learned from WWII experiences of U. S boats and data captured from the Germans. One of these improvements was the addition of the snorkel or breathing tube. The snorkel enables submarines to travel submerged at periscope depths on their diesel engines since air needed for the diesels is inducted thru the tube. Another improvement was the modifica tion of the fleet type boats into “guppies." “GUPPY" means great er underwater propulsion power, ' with the “y" added for euphony. Among the new type vessels that have been completed in re cent years are the anti-submarine boats. These small hunter-killer subs have been built specifically to seek out and destroy enemy , submarines. Also addl’d to the Submarine Service are the fast attack boats. These are approximately the same i weight as the 1500 ton World I War II Fleet type, but are much I shorter for more maneuverability I and streamlined for greater un- , derwater speed. Many Sub Types Another new tv pc is the SST class, a 131-foot, 250-ton craft de- I signed as a target and training submarine. This class is used pri- I marily for personnel training and anti-submarine target service. Be- ’ cause of its small size, it is eco nomical to build and operate. In addition to the fast attack, hunter-killer and target and train- I ing submarines, other types de veloped since World War II in- | elude guided missile subs which can launch the “Loon” and "Reg- i ulus” missiles; submarine troop transports; submarine oilers; sub marine cargo carriers and radar | picket boats.
