PACIFIC IS SPOT FOR U. S, FLEET

IN GENERAL WAR

Strategists Maintain That British Could Dominate | In Atlantic.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1 (U. P). —Development of a European war | Would find the U. S. Navy, boasting |

361 ships, with the bulk of its fighting power concentrated in the Pa-| cific, | That is where fundamental present U. 8. policy calls for the fleet to be in event of general war. Strategists long have held to the theory that the main strength of the American Navy, in event of an European conflict, should be in the Pacific because the British Fleet presumably would be able to dominate the Atlantic. War in Europe would require little shifting of American naval forces from their present operating stations. The main U. S. Fleet, commanded by Admiral Claude C. Bloch, is at its “normal bases” at San Pedro, Cal. and San Diego, Cal. The Navy also operates the socalled Special Service Squadron, consisting of two destroyers and two gunboats, in the Caribbean area, and maintains six submarines and a few auxiliary craft at the Toco Sole Base in the Panama Canal Zone, Admiral Bloch has 12 battleships, 12 heavy cruisers, 15 light cruisers, four aircraft carriers, 70 destroyers. 12 submarines, and various minor craft under his command. In addition, the Pacific forces are strengthened by 14 submarines and considerable’ aircraft at the huge! Pearl Harbor, Hawaii base, and] the U. S. Asiatic Fleet, operating in the Far East, | Aside from these forces, the Navy maintains the relatively new Atlantic Fleet under command of Rear Admiral Alfred W. Johnson. A special European Squadron, consisting of the Cruiser U. S. S Trenton and two destroyers. which was established during the Spanish Civil War to evacuate Americans, is based at Ville Franche, France. This unit, known as squadron 40-T, will be utilized to rescue stranded Americans from isolated points in event of a general war.
