OTTAWA. May YI-(OP) — A Navy spokesman said here today that with announcement Wednes- day of the loss of the destroyer Skeena all Canadian naval losses to date now have been disclosed.

The Navy also has no further announcements of sea successes a- gainst U-boats to be announcecl— unless there are more surrenders.

Both losses and successes were usually held up for security pur- poses for some weeks.

In the case of a loss, this lan was followed to force the luring U-boat to report its success and thus get a line on its location. In the case of a success against a U- boat, the primary motive for with- holding the news wea to prevent the location of the attacking ship from being given to the enemy.
