Schultz, U. S. Navy
(Lieutenant Commander Schultz is Assistant Amphibious Placement Officer, Officer Distribution Section,
Bureau of Naval Personnel.)
This year’s edition of Janes Fighting Ships contains a wealth of information. Each succeeding issue of this publication, accepted as the authority on the world’s warships, seems better than the previous one. In addition to extensive revision of technical ship data, reference tables, and special notes, there are some 500 new illustrations. Particulars are given for 10,000 warships in the navies of 75 countries.
In the Foreword, Mr. Blackman notes that ships of the same class are completed or modernized so that their appearances vary. This departure from the pre-World War II days, when almost all ships of the same class were identical, is a major reason for new material each year. Another editorial observation is the large assortment of ship types and classifications and the wide range in size of ships having the same classification. Ships of comparable characteristics and missions in different navies are described by different classifications. For instance, the recently converted HMS Bulwark is referred to as a commando carrier whereas USS Boxer is referred to as an amphibious assault ship. Actually, both ships are aircraft carriers converted to transport troops via helicopter to amphibious assault areas, but the descriptions are misleading. Nowadays a frigate could be a vessel of 600 or 6,000 tons. Strong support is given to the U. S. Navy’s system of designating ship types by symbols, and Mr. Blackman recommends that some world-wide standard method of classification be introduced soon.
An arresting fact brought out by studying the table showing the numerical strength of each country is that not only does Russia have more submarines than all the other countries in the world put together, but this number also exceeds the total number of antisubmarine vessels available to countries other than Russia.
Aside from the launching last year of HMS Dreadnought, Britain’s first nuclear submarine, the most interesting developments in the Royal Navy are the construction of the new County-class guided missile destroyers and Tribal-class general purpose frigates. In addition to being fitted with guided missiles and gyro stabilizers, they will have COSAG (combined steam and gas turbine) machinery plants. The principle involved in the COSAG system is that of highly efficient steam turbines and gas turbines geared to the same propeller shaft. The advantages of this arrangement are that the gas turbines can be used as a booster at higher speeds and can enable a ship to get underway on a few minutes’ notice when steam is not available.
Pictures of Clemenceau, France’s first postwar-built aircraft carrier, are printed for the first time this year. Her appearance is much like that of the U. S. £tt«-class as modified with angled flight deck and hurricane bow. Also illustrated is La Galissoniere, a destroyer leader of the Surcouf-class, which will be the first French combatant ship to be armed with guided missiles. Completion is scheduled for 1961.
The ambitious building programs of Italy, West Germany, and Japan continue. New construction of several Italian guided missile vessels is progressing and the modified cruiser Guiseppi Garibaldi is scheduled to be operational with Terrier missiles in 1961 or 1962. Although most of West Germany’s new destroyers will have conventional weapons, the later ones will displace almost 6,000 tons and possibly carry guided missiles. Japan’s Oyashio, first submarine to be built in a Japanese shipyard since World War II, became operational in 1960. A guided missile destroyer, to be equipped with Tartar missiles, has been authorized.
New items in the Russian section are pictures of two recent submarine classes, a modified 551-class frigate, and the icebreaker Lenin, the world’s first nuclear-powered surface ship to go to sea.
Coverage of the U. S. Navy is very thorough; of particular interest is the submarine section. There are several fine shots of the Polaris-missile-firing nuclear submarines of the George Washington-class along with comprehensive information on the submarine construction program. Statistics for Bainbridge, the new nuclear-powered guided missile frigate, predict a ship larger than the World War II Atlanta-class antiaircraft cruisers and quite different from the last Bainbridge (DD-246), a “four piper.” Estimated completion date is 1962.
Jane's is an invaluable reference book with which every naval officer should be thoroughly familiar and which he should have readily available. Annual perusal is strongly recommended for appreciation of the rapidly changing world naval picture.
Brassey’s Annual: The Armed Forces Year-Book, I960
Edited by Rear Admiral H. G. Thursfield.
New York: The Macmillan Company,
1960. Illustrated. 364 pages. $9.50.
REVIEWED BY
Captain C. H. Amme, Jr., U. S. Navy
(Captain Amme, winner oj the 1960 General Prize
Essay Contest, currently is Assistant Missile Officer,
Bureau oj Weapons.)
The dust jacket of this unique British publication refers to it as a “standard book of reference on matters of Defence Policy.” Now in its 71st year, the editors, in typical British conservatism, see no reason “to change the shape of Brassey’s Annual from that which has become familiar in recent years.”
The fact is, Brassey’s Annual is far from a standard book of reference. Such a description in itself is frightening to the uninitiated American reader. It is, rather, a lively book of essays on military matters that in some cases are amazingly frank and critical. We are told that many wardroom debates are instigated in the Royal Navy by each new issue.
The American naval officer should read Brassey’s Annual to find out something about the armed forces of Great Britain, to find out what the British think about the armed forces of the United States and finally, but not least, to find out what the best military minds of Great Britain think about strategy, the deterrent, and war.
In the 1960 edition, the annual defense White Papers come under fire, particularly the 1957 White Paper which stated rather curiously “the role of naval forces in total war is somewhat uncertain.” Succeeding
White Papers have recognized the role of the Navy and have backed away from the unrealistic dependence on nuclear weapons which the ministry had hoped would be cheaper in terms of pounds and pence. They have not, however, recognized the inadequacy of their forces to cope with limited war.
Among the most stimultating articles is one by Air Marshal Sir Robert Saundby on “Disengagement in Europe.” This is a subject generally avoided in American military journals. There is a frank article on U. S. air- power by J. W. R. Taylor, who points out the confusion and waste in our American missile and aircraft development. To this writer, the confusion and waste were all due to a lack of appreciation of one factor well understood by Navy men—mobility.
The breadth and scope of Brassey's Annual is highly commendable. Whether it is missiles, debates on the military budget, problems of morale in the Army, the development of general-purpose aircraft, or the significance of Soviet, Satellite, or other foreign armed forces, there is a pertinent chapter in this book.
The real significance of the 1960 issue is that it shows a growing appreciation in Great Britain of the importance of conventional arms, the flexibility of manned aircraft, and the need for large numbers of small warships to contend with the submarine menace.
The Fight for the Sea: The Past, Present, and Future of Submarine Warfare in the Atlantic
By Commander David D. Lewis, U. S.
Navy. Cleveland: The World Publishing
Company, 1960. Illustrated. 351 pages.
$6.00.
REVIEWED BY
Commander Frank A. Andrews, U. S.
Navy
(<Commander Andrews, a submarine officer, is Head oj
the Science Department, U. S. Naval Academy.)
The Fight for the Sea is a book which will appeal equally to the professional naval officer, the student of naval history, and to the lay reader interested in naval matters. The subject of the book is antisubmarine warfare in World Wars I and II. In addition, the final three chapters describe the Soviet submarine navy and hint at the future ASW problems this force could bring.
In a detailed addendum on source material, the author states the thoughts which led him to write the book. This is what he says:
“Four years spent during World War II and after in destroyer escorts and destroyers, plus three more in the Atlantic Fleet Destroyer Force from 1954—57, gave the author the opportunity to hear countless accounts of the fight against the submarine in the Atlantic. The file of ships’ histories of Atlantic Fleet destroyers itself is mute testimony to the hundreds of thousands of miles steamed by the greyhounds of the sea in search of the under sea enemy. Items such as USS Neversink was awarded the Naval Unit Citation for sinking an enemy submarine in the North Atlantic, appear occasionally, understating the case considerably. However, as the subject of anti-submarine warfare interested me more and more, I was surprised that I could not find an encompassing volume describing the efforts of the Allies in two world wars to combat the submarine threat.”
The professional naval officer will like The Fight for the Sea because it is an excellent survey of tactical developments in antisubmarine warfare from the very beginning to the present. The days of World War I, when submarine detection was based solely on the sighting of a periscope, and when the drop of the depth charge was decided by the skipper’s seaman’s eye as he was “about there,” are described vividly. The Neutrality Patrol, when the destroyer skipper’s plague was orders not to shoot unless shot at; the lean and terrible first years of World War II, when too few escorts were available too late; the midwar years, when kills on U-boats started to increase because of radar-equipped patrol planes and greater numbers of ocean escorts; and finally the successful, final year of World War II, when carrier hunter-killer groups sought U-boats in wide-open, ocean warfare —all are presented in great and interesting detail. Any professional naval officer concerned about future ASW tactics will find an excellent story here.
The naval historian will particularly appreciate this volume for the detailed appendix, called “Notes on Source Material.” In these notes, the author presents an excellent essay on nearly all the literature available which describes any facet of the Atlantic antisubmarine war of either 1918 or 1940.
The lay reader on naval matters will enjoy this work because of the great number of human interest incidents described throughout. Such personalities as U-boat aces Her- sing, Weddingen, and Prien and their exploits, are vividly described. Macintyre, Campbell, and Walker, of the British destroyer navy, are shown to be great seamen. And a multitude of American officers, including Lieutenant Commander Frost of Greer, Lieutenant Commander Davis of Kearny, Lieutenant Commander Edwards of Reuben James, and Lieutenant (jg) David, who boarded and captured a surfaced U-boat, all have their personalities and exploits brought together in an extremely interesting story.
The Fight for the Sea is a realistic and accurate account of the antisubmarine war fought in the Atlantic during two world wars.
Jane’s All The World’s Aircraft 1960-61

REVIEWED BY
Rear Admiral Paul P. Blackburn, Jr., U. S. Navy
(Rear Admiral Blackburn was designated a naval aviator in 1932. He currently is on duty in the Office oj the Chief of Naval Operations.)
We salute John W. R. Taylor for a superb edition of All The World’s Aircraft, which is very aptly sub-titled the “Illustrated Annual Record of Aviation Development and Progress.” It is an invaluable source whether one in a practicing aeronaut, an aeronautics buff, or one of those who has an appreciation for the political and social impact of the military, commercial, and sport aircraft of today and the immediate future.
The coverage throughout the book is most impressive. It is complete without being burdensomely meticulous. The major portion of the book is devoted to “Aeroplanes,” followed by sections on Guided Missiles and
Pilotless Aircraft, Aero Engines, and Airships. There is a compilation of Official Aeronautical Records through 31 October 1960.
One is immediately struck by the worldwide scope and vitality of the aeronautical arts. Nearly every country in the world which possesses a degree of engineering/industrial potential has its representative indigenous aircraft designs. Britain, France, Italy, Russia and the United States present a wide variety of aircraft. The representative designs of most of the other nations whose aircraft appear in the book are indicative of a remarkably alert and inventive approach to man’s age-old dream of flight. The Swedish aircraft, in particular the Saab Draken, are most impressive. (See page 68, January 1961 Proceedings.) On the other hand, the aircraft depicted in the pages on the Chinese Peoples Republic appear, at best, poor copies of mediocre, foreign designs of yesteryear.
The British, U. S. and Russian aircraft are strikingly similar in engineering concept and generally in performance, possibly reflecting the steady and parallel refinements in aerodynamics and power plant development that have taken place in the last few years. Russian designs of very large helicopters are especially noteworthy.
The illustrations in the book are, as usual, magnificent. They range from well-chosen photographs of the experimental, sports, and commercial types, to excellent pictures of the lovely lines of the sailplanes, and the ominously efficient ugliness of the fighter aircraft.
Several sections of the book deserve special attention. The French Breguet 1150 Atlantic, an aircraft of future importance to all of the NATO nations and to the Free World, is given thorough and comprehensive treatment. There is a most interesting and worthwhile coverage of the controversial U-2 aircraft. The information on Soviet space vehicles, while necessarily not complete, contains hitherto unavailable details which shed much light on the advanced state and projected aims of that facet of the Russian scientific offensive. The increasing interest in hovercraft is evidenced by the numerous examples of this unusual type of flying machine in the current edition.
Jane’s All The Worlds Aircraft stands preeminent in its field and is a source book of inestimable value.
