U. S. NAVY PLANS
NEW CONSTRUCTION
OF SUPER CRUISERS
An announcement, made public re
cently by the United States Navy De
partment, that construction has been
started on six 27,000-ton super cruis
ers, indicates that work on our new
“Two-Ocean" Navy has been further
accelerated. This latest statement
concerning Naval shipbuilding brings
the total number of new ships order
ed since January 1, 1941, to 2,381—
with 968 of these ships already un
der construction. Production line
methods are being used wherever
possible and a pronounced speed-up
has been accomplished by the insti
tution of a 48-hour week and a three-
shift 24-hour day. 375,000 men are
already employed in shipyards and
another 125,000 men will be added to
this force of workmen who are speed
ing ships down the ways at the rate
of at least one every ten days.
So coordinated and precise is the
current naval shipbuilding program
that many months are being cut from
the normal building time of Ameri
can-made warships.
This expert planning and new
speed in construction of our ships
from 45,000-ton dreadnaughts to
small torpedo boats opens the way for
the Navy to accept new qualified
men for training at the rate of 12,-
000 to 15,000 a month. These men,
enlisting in either the regular Navy
or the Naval Reserve, will be sent to
one of the four Naval Training Sta
tions and may have a chance to go
to a Navy Trade School even before I
assignment to the fleet. During this
period they will receive regular Navy
pay and the free Navy schooling is
valued at hundreds of dollars.
Every new ship in our Navy will
require not only hundreds of addi
tional sailors but many more Navy
men will be needed to work in Navy
dry docks, machine shops, ordnance
depots and other shore posts to keep
the new ships in action.
“Never in the history of the United
States has there been greater oppor
tunity for loyal young Americans to
serve their country and build their
futures than right now,” Secretary
of the Navy Knox recently said.
At the suggestion of Secretary of
Navy Knox, The Hermiston Herald
has been asked to help the Navy in
giving ambitious young men informa
tion about the opportunities the “Two-
Ocean” Navy offers for technical
training and advancement.
It is possible for a bright young
man to increase his pay seven times
during his first enlistment and he can
earn as much as $126 a month. This
monthly figure is actually worth
much more when it is remembered
that the man has few living expenses
and is provided with the finest of
medical and dental care.
You have all your food and lodg
ing, and also your original clothing
1 outfit is provided by Uncle Sam free.
In addition, there are free sports and
entertainment. On top of this, you
| get free travel and adventure in col
orful places a thing few civilians
can afford.
When you consider the size of this
I country and the fact that the Navy
will select only 12,000 applicants a
month from many times that number
throughout the United States, the
quotation ‘Many are called, but few
are chosen’ will apply to local men
interested.
As Navy men are a “hand-picked”
lot, candidates must be men of more
than average intelligence and ambi
tion, of fine moral character and
must have the written recommenda
tion of at least two local towns
people.”
The Herald has just received from
Washington a supply of free illus
trated booklets for all men interest
ed and, in addition, will welcome in
quiries from young men who wish to
look into the new and greater oppor
tunities the Navy and the Naval Re
serve now offer for training for later
civilian careers as they serve their
country now in its emergency.
