Naval Magazine Discusses Subs vs. Surface Oraft

OTFAWA. Jan. 3i -(CP) -— Which would win in any new out- break oi submarine warfare—the deadly new submarines or the sur- face craft that hunt them?

In a recent issue of the Canad- ian Navy‘s magazine. the Crows- nest, “R.P.w.“ set forth a. formid- able case tor the sub. in the latest issue, "J.S,D.“ says the new subs are tough but it's also likely that the hunters will "possess weapons of far greater potency than any used in the Second World War."

Described by naval sources as an oiiicer with "plenty of experience," he mentions as one possibility hydrophones or listening devices which are capable oi tabbing the bearing of a moving sub with “minute accuracy." Cross bearings from several ships plus radar rang- es "could presumably be plotted to give a reasonably accurate position of the sub."

“The use cf high submerged speed at long range will in all probability give the sub away and may well prove to be more oi a danger to the U-boat than to its opponent."

Again, JSD. anticipates weapons which can be hurled in any direct- ion and up to 2.000 yards.

Further. those weapons should become capable of "horrning” on their target, that is directing them- selves regardiess of original sc- curacy as in the case of the acoustic torpedo.

tho ferry service and the iinsn- cial and oilhw dlflieultles encoun- tered in its operation.

History Reviewed

The brief recalls- that the ser- vice was started “tn sprite o! tn- umesence, i! not open opposition on thopartolmany persons in Edw d Island, and still greater n rs in Nova Sootin, perhaps because it was designed to replace the existing service in w-hlch some considerable number o! persons were financially inter- ested." The estimates for the terminals at Wood Islands and Caribou were eventually presented to the Federal House, and finally passed. “but. not without opposit- ion snd criticism from some, who today quote themselves as always being in favour o! the servicej‘ A contract entered into at the time with a Maritime firm proved vo be unsatisfactory; and a group c! Charlottetown men, who had ribmitted s bender for operating the service were told to go to Hal- ifax, and talee over the contract. The om two boats. acquired cheaply in 1039 and again in i940. were requisitloned by the Domin- ion Government and for the third boat, the "Prince Nova," the com- pany had to pay three times the pre-war costms well as P"! W01‘- time costs ior reconversion. They received "ior the “Simkatf and "Sesborn", which the Dominion had taken over. only the original cost figure, $116,664. Subsequently they were~sllowed an additional $140,000 by the "cheque 0mm but this ruling wasdisallowed on appeal to the Supreme Court. In addition to this financial setback, a year's delay in optmiflfi m! l"- vice was caused by the reqfllflt- ionlng of the boats for war pur- poses.

Terms Oi Contract

Eventually a ten-year contract for the operation o! the "Prime Nova" was written, with a subsidy ailowa/nce oi’ $37,000 Pei‘ Y9". “Had. we stood by the contract," the brief states, "we would prob- ably have ‘been in a very 6011110"- abie position, but the growth oi the business resulted in 0mm" being applied for increased sc- commodntlon. and we purchased the S. S. ‘Sanisaty’ and rebuilt her tor the service.

“In submitting this proposition. we asked for an annual B!!!“ from Ottawa o! $150,000 D01‘ V081‘. plus payments from the War Stabilization Fund, but were per- suaded to aocetpt s. three-Ye" 0°11" tract. at the rate oi $100,000 P01‘ you, plus payments from the War Stabilization Fund, which in 1947, the first year o! the contract, sm- ounted to somethinz 0V0!‘ 511-990. Coupled with this offer, was what we understood to be “will” that it this sum was insufficient- ror our needs, the matter WW-ld be adjusted.

“At the end of 1941 we had an operating deficit, together with s lot o! unpaid bills ior ovarhaulin! the boats. Feeling that an ad- justment would be made by 0t‘ tawa, we carried over some oi the unpaid outstanding accounts into our 194B accounting period; and in the belief that the matter, al- though delayed, would be sdiusted during the season, We started the service on M8»? l. 1943-

Tourist Pomtbllitles

liimphaaisim the valuable am- ount oi tourist business lost through inadequate faculties, the brief quotes the iollowing state- ment by Mir. Talbot, who was sta- tioned at Caribou during the past season by the Nova Scotia Gov- lflimlht Bureau of Information:

"Prince ldwartl Island people," laid Mr. Talbot, “have no con- ception cl .the ‘ -' and“; "w! an losing by lack o! accom- modation or the number who drive ‘o Caribou to cross to the "land. and seeing the condition confronting them, turn about and ‘Pond their holidays elsewhere.”

The brie! also quotes the Hal-

improvement has been made irl the terminal at Wood Islands. bringing it more in line with the original construction at Caribou. Other improvements are needed, however. including dredging to widen and straighten the chan- nels, especially at Caribou.

"We suggested to the Maritime Commission the continuation of the service beyond Nov_ 30, be- cause we can see the hardships in cutting of! tratIic so abruptly, es- pecially in an open season such as this,” the brief continues. "But we were bold by men in the De- partment who know their ‘- ' that this route in its present con- dition was no piece to ask a ship's captain to operate beyond Nov. 80, and they would not listen to our suggestion ‘oi extension" Emphasizing the possibilities oi the service, the brief points out that “farm lands o!

"oi our own inability to properly picture the situation, and I well remember s. statement made by s prominent oflicial from Ottawa. who said early in the Company's history, that ‘the first year's oper- ation could be multiplied ten times. if the service was given proper attention?’

Proposals Outlined

The brief continues: , “The additional carrying capac- ity of the ‘Dunning’ did not re- lieve the situation at all, and the suggestion now being made, to re- place the ‘Prince Nova’ with a ship available to us. and capable of carrying approximately fifty autos. or the equivalent in trucks, ii followed, is not a final answer, because as soon as such a boat is put on the route, the deznand tor space will again be increased bc- yond her capacity.

“The dlfliculty oi getting boats already built. for some other pur- pose and the expense of fitting them for the route on which they can give only temporary relief is a real problem; and we feel that the cost o! reconstructing boats ior this route on which they can- not be expeotbd to serve for many years, only t6 be scrapped and re- placed by larger and more sult- able equipment as the cratiic de- velops, cannot reasonably be ex- pected to be borne by the Com- pany.

"lbr eight years our sharehold- ers have carried on without, re- turns on their investments be- yond a dividend of $8.00 per share on the shares outstanding in i043 and i044, which dividends should never have been paid, and were not instilled in view oi future de- velopmenia_ , "Our proposition at present is that the boat referred to above be purchased and fitted for

A United States ship classed by the owners as an "ice-breaker" was suggested to us as being sult- able for our purpose, and that the United States Government had spent $700,000 in refitting her ior her work.
