OTTAWA (OP) -- There is a gt;-ong hotly of opinion in the 3, C. A..lf. that the Canadian navy .mm”g't.gp(rjI.q an aircraft car- ,-ga, were are even a few naval om”;-3 who pg:-es with this view. But, obviously. the mslorlty opinion in the defence department is that the navy should have a carrier. The department is spend- mg s1go,ooo,ooo on the carrier pro- grain.

The new ilattop Bonaventure. scheduled to c commissioned late this fall at Belfast, Northern Ire- land. will replace the Magnificent, Current cost estimate is 328,500,-

000.

Aircraft for the carrier will cost 3143.-'t00.w0-sonse 327.500.0110 for- go nuuhee jet fighters and slid,- 000,W0. for 100 CS2F anti-subm Ins planes. The Bonaventure will carry about a dozen of each type at one time.

An opinion held by many air force officers is that the carrier's job-convoy protection - could be performed just as well and more cheaply by long-range RCAF suir

They contend that the money being spent on the carrier pro- gram is wasteful. They also main- tain that. in is regard, the navy is planning for the last war.

During the early years of the Second World War there was a convoy area known as the "North Atlantic Gap" where ships could not be given protection by land- based planes. It was halfway be- tween St. John's. Nfld., and bases in the United Kingdom and Ice- land.

Now. RCA! officers say, this gap can be covered adequately by long-range planes and a carrier is only supernumerary.

The navy argues that it is abso lutely necessary for convoys to have planes with them at all times on the spot. The fighter planes to pl'o'tect the convoy against.air st- tack could not suddenly he called in from land bases hundreds of miles away.

Naval officers say the Germans sever developed air-sea co-opera-

tion but that there is no doubt that the Russians will. The So- viets had large numbers of planes earmarked for naval roles.

The carrier's fighters would not only be called on to destroy enemy planes attacking the convoy but to knock down enemy spotting planes reporting 'onvoy msltions to the subm 'nes. The Ndrth At- lantic Treaty Organisation esti- mated recently that Russia has 450 submarines, 390 more than Germany had when it started the Second Wor' War.

In general. f.be.navy's view is that the convoys must have planes travelling with them all th time and not Just arriving from and leaving for land bases. Bad weather or jammed signals could destroy the effectiveness of land- based aircraft. . '

The navy also maintains that carrier operation is cheaper than employment of shore-based planes for ion,-range patrol.

As a whole. the defence depart-

ment agrees with the navy's con- tention.
