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.

tral Pacific.
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
