craft Carriers■- prime targets ot
modern fleet engagements- raised
today the poslbillty that the heav-
ily-armed battleship would regain
temporarily Its place as monarch of
the seas.
Land based bombes, toting heavy
loads of destruction and ranging
thousands of miles in search of the
enemy, appear destined to super-
cede both t.he battleship and the
carrier as the No 1 wcagon of at-
tack.
But. until mas production of such
craft, reaches a steady stream and
until a network of bases for their
operation can be developed, the
destructive drain upon the carriers
of both this Nation and Japan
has focused new attention on the
ests of each
has reported sinking ]
and crippling a substantial part of
Japan's carrier compliment,
the same time It has acknowledged
the loss of the Lexington, the York-
town and the Wasp, and severe
damage to another, as yet uniden-
tified
Possibity that the carriers even-
tually might be "stricken from the
sea” and that the big battlewagons
might then engage in an old fash-
ioned slugging match was raised
In June by Chairman Vinson <D—
Oa) of the House Naval Committee
during consideration of a measure
to expand the Navy’s floating
aerial striking strength.
