through fleet maneuvers today as
though nothing had happened.
The 10,000. ton cruiser carried a

ths sccldent which might have re
sulted disastrously If the torpedo
had carried Its warhead load of TNT.
The 45 -knot torpedo crashed Into
he Northampton last week during
target practice on the navy's drill
grounds off San Clemente Island. It
was fired from a distance of sbout
600 yards.

head of a torpedo Is usually knocked
o!T In an Impact of this type and
sinks, regarded the loss of the tor
pedo with more concern than the
mishap and attendant Inconvenience
to the Northampton. The cost of
tuple torpedo runs Into thousand
of dollars.
