Latest Undersea Craft Are
More Durable, Better
Divers, Navy Men Concur
Crews Are Reduced
BAN DrEGO, Cal. (UP) Submar
ines, capable of diving to a deptb
of 600 feet with safety far deeper
than any other such craft ever
constructed have given the U.
navy the most deadly undersea fight
ers In the world. It Is believed here.
A newly developed, highly resist-
ant metal makes possible the greater
diving depth of the new craft, and
at the same time allows construc
tion of submarines considerably
smaller In actual size but decidedly
more effective.
These facts were revealed here
when the U. 8. 8. tarpon, newest
member of the navy's submarine
force, docked here to Join the flot
illa or grlm-looKlng, ebony hued
fighters.
Heretofore no submarine has been
capable of descending to a depth of
mucn more than 800 or 400 feet
with safety. Although the Tarpon
ana sister snips, now under con
struction, or undergoing final tests,
never have descended to a 600-foot
depth officers and men aboard the
craft are confident they could with
stand such a dive "If necessity re
quired.
Quarter Inch Hulls
ine newiy developed metal, with
Its greater tensile strength and high
er degree of durability, has mado
It possible to construct the new
fleet-type submarines with a hull
only one-quarter of an Inch thick
compared to two Inches necessary
with former types steel. It was said.
Although the 600-foot length Is
considerably less than that of the
U. 8. 8. Nautilus, which boasts of
outstanding performance records,
the U. 8. 8. Tarpon Is even more
efficient than the larger craft, and
carries a considerably smaller crew.
A crew of 60 men and five officers
operate the Tarpon. Numerous new
ly developed automatlo controls
make the reduction In personnel
possiDie,. according to Lieut.
O'Bnea. engineering officer of the
submarine. Details of the new metal
as well as the controls are closely
guaraoa navy secrets.
smaller alze has not made the
Tarpon prey to heavy seas, and
she s as stable as an ocean liner,
Lieut. O'Shea said, In commenting
or me cruising anility of the craft,
which recently oompleted the long
voyage irom tne east coast alone.
Six other submarines, of the Tar
pon class, now are nearlng com pic
tion the Peroh. Plunger, Pickerel
Pompano, Pollack and Permit. An
other six will be completed during
tne usoai year starting July 1 the
txumon, seal, snlpjack, Snappor,
oungray and sturgeon.
Silent on Defects
Officers aboard the Tarpon refused
to discuss reports carried In the
Army and Navy Register a aeml-of-
licial publication, which told of me-
onarucal defects uncovered In the
generators of the main propelling
plant of their vessel, and three sis
ter subs, the Sharp, Porpoise end
Pike.
Jt was said discovery of these d.
fects, during shakedown cruises and
trial runs would keep the new sub
marines on a reduced operating sta
tus until they are overcome.
The submarines Cnchalot and Cut
tlefish, now are In the Mare Island
navy yard, undergoing overhauling
prior to being re-englned during
June.
During the flsonl year 1038 the
submarine force of the navy will be
Increased to 48 undorsea fighters. It
was said, the majority of which are
comparatively new, modern, and
among the most powerful craft of
their type In the world.

For three generations one woman
