Down to the Sea in Subs

By Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood U. S. Navy (Retired). New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1967. 367 pages. Illus­trated. $6.95.

REVIEWED BY

Captain Edward L. Beach, U. S. Navy (Retired).

(<Captain Beach is a Naval Academy graduate and a Jormer submarine commander, who took the USS Triton around the world submerged. He is the author of Run Silent, Run Deep {1955) and The Wreck of the Memphis {1966.)

In 1900, when the Navy purchased its first submarine, the USS Holland, Charles A. Lockwood was ten years old and going to school in Lamar, Missouri. In 1903, the USS Adder, later to be known as Submarine A-2, was completed and placed into commission. In 1914, the then venerable A-2 became Charlie Lockwood’s first command. Various things of note happened during the next 31 years, before “Uncle Charlie” Lockwood, by this time wearing the three stars of a vice admiral in the Navy, relinquished his com­mand of the powerful Pacific submarine force. The things that happened in the in­terim are, fittingly, the subject of the major part of Admiral Lockwood’s autobiography, but there is more, besides.

In the beginning, the A-2 occupied all of Lockwood’s thought and energy, and what a command she was! The tiny submarine had one periscope, one torpedo tube, one pro­peller, and was only 63 feet long. She could have been completely contained within the 74-foot sail of the USS Triton, a nuclear sub­marine launched 55 years after the Adder; the entire squadron of“A-boats” placed end to end would not have equalled Triton's length. The sub’s whole interior was a single compart­ment, so crammed with mechanisms as to permit one to stand upright only in certain areas. She rarely dived deeper than 75 feet, approximately periscope depth for the Triton. Despite these deficiencies of super­annuation, however, and despite the fact that she had gone to the boneyard long before World War II, the A-2 made a tremendous contribution to our prosecution of that con­flict. Pigboat though she truly was, the A-2 made a submariner out of Charles Lockwood.

The story of submarining is a fascinating compilation of exciting sea tales of combat and the mystery of the depths. To these, adding his own experiences to those of friends, contem­poraries, and successors, Admiral Lockwood has given full measure. But the real fascina­tion of his reminiscences lies in the descrip­tions he gives of those old submarines, those “B-boats,” “N-boats,” “R-boats,” and “V- boats,” to name some of the old-timers long ago converted into the razor blades, for which their high-quality steel hulls were so well fitted. As Lockwood successively served in these progressively improved subs, he nat­urally described how they worked, their good and bad points, their innovations and their capabilities. Information of this kind is meat and drink to any man of the sea, and to the submariner in particular. Even those.readers who have little basic understanding of sub­marining will be impressed with the ad­vances accomplished by the passage of only a little time. Although there may be some im­patience on the parts of non-mechanically- oriented people, the technically minded will enjoy this portion of the book more than others and will, indeed, wish his descriptions had been even more detailed.

Near the end of the book, 90 pages are de­voted to a description of World War II as the author saw it, moving from his post as naval attache in London, to his duty in charge of submarines operating from Australia, and, finally, to his responsibilities as the com­mander of all submarines in the Central Pacific. To some extent, this part has been told before in Lockwood’s excellent Sink 'Em All, published shortly after World War II. But this story can never be told often enough or well enough for the more than 60 thousand men who, for most of the war, knew the coast­lines of Japan and her Asiatic conquests better than their own.

Most significantly, once again is detailed the terrible toll in morale—not to mention the actual cost in U. S. lives—caused by the unforgivable fiasco in torpedoes. Lockwood estimates the Pacific war could have been shortened by six months had they not had bad torpedoes. This reviewer would raise the figure to two full years or more, and believes the United States might have avoided the debacles in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. It is a book which should be re-read once a year, as required reading, for everyone charged with technical responsibilities in these hays of surging technical development. The recent fire in the Apollo space capsule, taking the lives of three U. S. astronauts during a routine test, may stand as a case in point.

Admiral Lockwood retired from the Navy in 1947, but his book does not nor could it end there, given his deep involvement in the de­velopment of the submarine. The final chap­ter, in fact, might stand alone as a description of how the atomic submarine was conceived and built. It is fair to say that those accus­tomed to seeing only adulatory reference to Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover will not find it here. Admiral Lockwood gives the Ad­miral his due, but he studiously avoids giving him what is not his due and he goes to some pains to detail the contributions, largely unrecognized, which were made by others. Many nuclear power reactors were designed and some experimental ones were built before he and his dedicated crew came up with their

design for a submarine reactor. It was Ad­miral Rickover, however, who insisted that the prototype be built into a simulated sub­marine hull, and won the fight. It was the acerbic Admiral Rickover who drove the project through to completion in an extra­ordinarily short time, and to him belongs the credit for our having the nuclear submarine in 1955 instead of ten years later. Most of all, it was and is yet Admiral Rickover who, while constantly improving design of his power plants, can be credited with almost single­handed responsibility for the virtually super­human record of trouble-free performance established by every one of his ships.

Admiral Rickover’s supporters are fond of saying that the “entire Navy” was opposed to him and, therefore, opposed to nuclear power. Such a statement is not only ridiculous but a slur on all the strong, silent men who helped. Admiral Lockwood makes it clear that from its earliest inception, there was never any dearth of strong support in the Navy for nuclear power. Except for certain unworthy actions directed at Admiral Rickover on the personal level by small men whose names that, in contrast to his, will be forgotten by history, the Navy has been united at all command echelons on this issue from the first. Obviously feeling that it was time for this part of the record to be set straight, Lockwood coura­geously gives the lie to that journalism which has castigated “the establishment” for seeking to destroy the benefits which Admiral Rick­over wished to bestow upon the Navy.

Recognizing his danger, Lockwood has documented his position. Unfortunately, how­ever, many readers are not informed as to all this background and will probably not seek to delve deeply into the details. Hence they will see in this treatment of the early days of

nuclear power only further proof of the op­position of other naval officers to this remark­able man. Only a few will appreciate that straw men are being attacked on both sides. There is no contesting the extraordinary facts of what Admiral Rickover did do, nor does Admiral Lockwood attempt it.

Down to the Sea in Subs is “must” reading for all those who dared to adventure under the sea, either before or during World War II or to those who bear relation. It is a “must” for those whose husbands, fathers, or sons lost all. It is the story of submarining in the U. S. Navy for those who would like their informa­tion on the highest authority. It is further proof that the service brings with it high ad­venture, a sense of fulfillment, and an out­standing opportunity to live.

Basic Tactics

By MaoTse-tung, Translated by Stuart R. Schram. New York: Praeger, 1966. 149 pages. $4.95.

REVIEWED BY

Major John W. Campbell, U. S. Marine Corps.

(Major Campbell is a former instructor in American Government and Communist China at the Naval Academy. He is a doctoral candidate in history at American Univer­sity and is assigned to the Third Marine Division.)

Stuart R. Schram is no stranger to the writings of Mao Tse-tung; his Political Thought of Mao Tse-tung has become a stan­dard work in its field. His most recent book consists of a translation of a series of lectures by Chairman Mao on guerrilla warfare, but of equal, if not greater importance, is Schram’s introduction which provides a concise account of the evolution of Mao’s military doctrines. In addition, a brief but well-written foreword by Brigadier General Samuel B. Griffith, II, U. S. Marine Corps (Retired), that discusses Mao’s debt to Leninist revolutionary con­cepts and the traditions of Chinese military writing places these doctrines in their proper historical perspective.

Schram portrays Mao as an original mili­tary thinker who, after suffering setbacks em­ploying the traditional Marxist proletarian revolutionary concepts, began a reappraisal of his operational environment. Between 1927 and 1931 Mao concluded that military strength was the key to the political control of China and that, if the Chinese Communist party was to be successful, it must build a well-indoctrinated, rural-based peasant army. He quickly discovered that such a force could expand from a limited territorial base, despite impressive Kuomintang opposition, by cou­pling a program of ideological indoctrination °f the population with the strategy of pro­longed struggle.

During the early 1930s, party leadership did ⁿot fully accept Mao’s doctrines. It was not until after the Long March and the resulting eclipse of other party leaders that he had the freedom to employ his military concepts as he Would have liked. At the same time, threat of Japanese aggression enabled Mao to capitalize upon a more dynamic propaganda line, which had more mass appeal than the promise of socialist revolution. Under the cover of this threat, peace was concluded with the Kuomin­tang and a national front was organized by the Communist party. Schram believes that by 1938 Mao had fully abandoned the old anti-Kuomintang line and reoriented party resources toward the conflict with Japan in the belief that a national front under Com­munist direction would gain sufficient popu­lar support to dominate postwar China. It was at this point in time that Mao delivered his lectures on tactics, to the future leaders of the guerrilla army, that he planned to use first against the Japanese and eventually against the troops of Chiang Kai-shek.

Schram is almost apologetic for what he describes as the rudimentary nature of Basic Tactics. It is unlikely that the profes­sional reader will share Schram’s concern, as he will recognize the translation as a nuts-and- bolts discussion of the mechanics of small unit operation which, after all, is the application °f all the means at hand to achieve a well- defined end. If anything, the rudimentary nature of Basic Tactics is a strength, as most similar material now in English deals with the loftier strategic aspects of Chinese Communist military thinking. As a result there is a press- mg need for information of the type presented in this translation. Students of Western mili­tary methods will be intrigued by the emphasis placed upon deception and entrapment, cer­tainly the legacy of Sun Tzu’s Chinese classic The Art of War. An unusual amount of atten­tion is also given to what Mao characterizes as “political work,” which is very close to our interest in troop morale and discipline.

It has been suggested that Mao has done for armed insurrection what Nikolai Lenin did for political subversion. An understanding of Mao’s contribution to the art of war is impor­tant, if one desires to comprehend contem­porary Asia. Without a doubt, Basic Tactics contributes significantly to Western under­standing of Communist Chinese military in­stitutions. It would serve well as that all-im­portant first book for those who are interested in Mao’s military doctrines.

General Griffith has also made an impor­tant contribution to our understanding of Chinese military doctrines with his transla­tion of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and Mao’s On Guerrilla Warfare. His current effort bears the impressive subtitle An Analysis of State­ments by Official Spokesmen of the Chinese Com­munist Party on the Subject of Revolutionary Strat­egy, which it is not. In scope the book is limited to an historical survey of the develop­ment of Chinese Communist military doctrine combined with a commentary on Marshall Lin Piao’s essay “Long Live the Victory of the People’s War” and a less known docu­ment by Lo Jui-Ch’ing, whom the author iden­tifies as Chief of General Staff for the People’s Liberation Army. The official Chinese Com­munist English translation of both documents is included as appendixes.

Most of the material covered, dealing with the evolution of Chinese Communist military concepts, receives more skillful treatment from Schram. In addition, General Griffith becomes involved in ideological discussions that have little to do with the understand­ing of the People’s War. Unfortunately, he spends considerable time attempting to discredit Chinese Communist policies and actions with arguments couched in terms that are not conducive to objective inquiry. In his review of Lin’s historic recapitulation of the strategy of wars of national liberation, the author emphasizes the importance of mili- tance toward the United States and the West as a necessary motivating force behind Chi­nese Communist policy. A creditable job is also done in explaining the concept of pro­tracted war, which is often not appreciated by Western military thinkers, who fall victim to their own attention to quick victory and resolution of the issues through battle.

The importance the author attaches to Lo’s document Commemorate the Victory Over German Fascism! is open to question in the light of re­cent reports that Lo was an early casualty of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. It is the General’s contention that Lo’s com­mentary prepared the ideological ground for Lin’s essay. No matter what the importance of Lo’s document at the time of issue, his sub­sequent political decline will certainly cause it to be disregarded by the current Chinese Communist policy makers. In the last anal­ysis, the chief merit of the book seems to be that it includes the full text of Lin’s essay, which has not been generally available in the United States.

Brassey’s Annual 1966—The Armed Forces Year-Book

REVIEWED BY

Rear Admiral Roy S. Benson, U. S. Navy

(,Admiral Benson is Commandant, First Naval District.

He formerly served as Director, Task Force on Navy

Organization, Commander Submarine Force, Pacific

Fleet, and as Assistant Vice Chief of Naval Operations.)

The seventy-seventh Brassey^,s is, as usual, much more than an up-dating of matters re­lating to British armed forces, though that primary aim is accomplished in full measure in its wide-ranging and timely essays. In com­mon with those who have attempted to do justice in reviewing this work in previous years, this reviewer had difficulty choosing from the excellent contents. This review will be limited in scope to that considered of para­mount interest to officers of the U. S. Navy. The entire book is, however, recommended.

Naturally, the British Defence White Paper 1966 is of primary importance. The carrier cancellation and the plans to depart from Aden were well known in the U. S. Navy. The White Paper is “must” reading; so are three re­lated articles: Chapter I, Chapter II and Chapter XXXI. If the reader cannot manage the entire book, the foregoing chapters are the minimum.

It is interesting to note that there will be an exchange of roles between the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. British Polaris sub­marines are to take over from the RAF the stra­tegic responsibility for British nuclear attack capability. Even if only one nuclear, ballistic submarine (SSBN) were on station at a time, this would still be a respectable capability; 16 missiles. It is indeed a great deal better than nothing. As a former submarine officer, the reviewer cannot resist saying that the SSBN on patrol is substantially invulnerable. The other half of the exchange of roles is that the Royal Air Force will be responsible for the functions of the Fleet Air Arm. Presumably and hope­fully, ASW will not suffer thereby. The Royal Air Force has for years been far more active in ASW than has the U. S. Air Force. Indeed, the Royal Air Force has been a full participant in this role.

Few people in the U. S. Navy would agree with Vice Admiral B. B. Schofield’s state­ment: “There can be no question but that the nuclear-powered submarine is the warship of the future.” It is also quoted that some years ago Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery counseled the Royal Navy to “go under the sea.” Perhaps, however, this could be vari­ously interpreted.

It would seem unlikely that a reviewer would recommend that U. S. naval officers read an article on the U. S. Navy in Brassey’s Annual. Yet, that is exactly what must be done. Norman Polmar’s article, “Building the United States Fleet 1947-1967” is a fine work. It has some surprises for nearly everyone.

For an overview of what is going on in the navies of the world, “Developments in Mari­time Forces” by Vice Admiral Schofield is recommended. Strangely, the word “Mari­time” means “Merchant Marine” to many, when it should be the generic term to in­clude everything related to the sea. However, it is an excellent summary of the many navies. Brassey’s also contains an article on the British Merchant Marine. Due to Britain’s insular

status, the Royal Navy and the “Merchant Navy” have always been closely associated and the British people have always had a great interest in them; not so in the United States. Indeed, the U. S. Navy has seldom taken a proper interest in the future of the total maritime interests of the country. The reviewer urges such interest on the part of his fellow U. S. naval officers. Reading the chap­ter on “The British Merchant Fleet” is a good start, but only a start.

Of special note by all who have an interest in sea power is the article on the British Navy League. Several of the points made sound familiar to our ears. It is obvious that the Navy League overseas performs the same in­valuable service to that country that ours does to the United States.

The article “Commonality in Aircraft De­sign” is a comprehensive narrative relating to the reduction of the proliferation of aircraft types as a way to get more performance for the same expenditures or the same for less. To those not much involved in aircraft mat­ters, it seemed as if the discussion of common­ality came up first with the F-lll; not so. It has been a live subject for many years. The reviewer was astonished to learn that the Fj-2 Fury was a “navalised” F-86 Sabre after “the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps swallowed their pride.” It had been heard before that the F-86 was a Navy plane adopted by the Air Force. This is what makes horse races. The discussion on “Commonality” is strongly recommended.

The chapter preceding it is also well-done; a good, brief report on the development of the aircraft carrier. (The amazing thing about the aircraft as an integral part of the fleet is that it happened.) There must have been many detractors, both the old sea-dog and the new breed, the aviator. It is truly a miracle, and a most fortunate one, that we did get naval air. There are many more fine articles in this Brassey's; alas, too many to mention in this review. Its editors have done almost too well.

It is hoped that one suggestion will be ac­cepted. There is one deficiency in Brassey's Annual. It concerns the credentials of the au­thors. Who are they? Regarding those with military titles, are they active duty or retired? If retired, what are their present occupations? Such identification would help in judging the objectivity of the author.

The Eagle’s Talons: A Military View of Civilian Control of the Military

By Major General Dale O. Smith, U. S. Air Force (Retired). Washington: Spartan, 1966. 347 pages. S5.95.

REVIEWED BY

Captain Paul Schratz, U. S. Navy

(Captain Schratz, a graduate of the Naval Academy, has served in submarines and in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. A graduate of the Naval War College, he is now on the faculty of the National War College. He holds a master’s degree in international relations.)

The Eagle's Talons is a difficult book to re­view objectively. The author freely states his bias in the preface and perhaps an impartial review is not even appropriate. General Smith’s purpose is to show how civilian con­trol of the military evolved, to examine the relations between national defense and the military profession, to counter “anti-military myths and the derogatory and inaccurate propaganda” in dealing with civil-military relations, and to suggest changes for a better national defense and “more meaningful civil- military relations at no danger to Constitu­tional government or American traditions.” Stripped of the rhetoric, the purpose is to show how Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc­Namara has used civilian control to wrest the last vestige of authority from military leaders and with it their pride and self-respect.

The author further accuses politically moti­vated Department of Defense civilians of tak­ing advantage of the power potential offered by defense contracting to usurp the traditional military function of weapons procurement. The military needs the best weapons, “with­out favors, manipulations or kickbacks.” The TFX contract is cited as bringing financial associations of men such as Roswell Gilpatric and Fred Korth to the surface.

The historic failure by the military to ac­cept new weapons, such as the airplane and tank, is seen “more often than not from op­pressive civilian control.” Nuclear bombs, jet engines, guided missiles and space boosters are largely products of military ingenuity, even though civilian direction often puts a dead hand upon military efforts to develop new weapons. In his wide-ranging broad­sides, General Smith opposes disparagement of our military service (“as American as apple pie”) and reopens old wounds of the Navy on unification and makes an oblique plea for a single service in accordance with the plan of Colonels Archie Knight and Al­len Herzberg (a sanitized, published version of a secret and closely held Air Force master plan “Valiant” developed in 1959). The general’s real bete noire, however, is the in­vasion by “defense intellectuals” whose dis­paragement of the military is met only by a counterattack decrying its critics. Major General Barry Goldwater, U. S. Air Force Reserve, in the foreword, chimes in his agree­ment except that he feels General Smith pulls too many punches.

Doctrinally, General Smith is an Air Force utopian who makes little or no distinction be­tween nuclear and non-nuclear weapons. This is the view which sees one death as a tragedy, a million as a statistical mistake. “The military is normally neutral with re­spect to employment of nuclear weapons. It is the servant of the state ...” [shades of Nurn- berg] “where narrow and simplistic views of war more often than not held by civilian leaders may lead to a failure of deterrence.”

The Eagle’s Talons, the jacket states, is a scholarly work. Superficially, the mass of foot­notes is persuasive. Yet the reader finds no de­velopment of the author’s views from a prem­ise through a process of analysis to a logical conclusion. The cited examples are often very interesting but just as often not pertinent. The core of his development of civil-military his­tory, insofar as it applies to the American system, is largely irrelevant. The author makes no claim to polished research nor to use of primary source materials; few will dispute the statement. For example, facts of history—that the Japanese were negotiating in 1941 as their fleet steamed toward Pearl Harbor—are foot­noted from secondary sources; highly specula­tive statements are not. It is claimed that “much of the American hostility to the mili­tary as intrinsically dangerous to democracy is a residue from the Roundhead domination of the Long Parliament of England in the mid- 17th century, reinforced by historical exam­ples of usurpation of government by Julius Caesar, Napoleon and other autocrats.” No support for this or similar broad generaliza­tions can be found.

A dogmatic statement is made—again un­supported—that the purpose of the U. S. Con­stitution is to create a strong central govern­ment and a powerful executive, which seems to refute the doctrines of federalism and checks and balances known to every school boy. Still again, the military is alleged not to be a pressure group, because, the author asserts, the “common definition of a pressure group is a body which is politically organized in such a way as to have some influence over elections”; therefore, “should the decision in Congress go against the desires of a particular service, no pressure whatsoever could be brought to bear by that service on the Congressman involved.” Misstatements and generalizations are dis­turbing; errors in grammar and spelling are merely annoying. Proper names in partic­ular are a problem—an item usually demand­ing meticulous care by an author.

The General’s goal is “to examine the anti­military bias so prevalent in America.” His salvo is at best a hangfire, inflicting no damage on the enemy and posing immediate danger to his fellow military men who are left vulner­able to a heavy counterattack.

The reviewer possesses admiration, respect and genuine friendship for Dale Smith, but far more than friendship is involved in this caliber of scholarship. The military profession is too important to the nation today and too precious to its true practitioners to allow it to be undermined by the appearance in the bookstalls of wholly negative criticism, bitter­ness and warped judgment. And the danger is not so much that he says these things but that he believes them.

This latest biography of Mitchell is based in part on hitherto unavailable transcripts prepared at the famous court martial of 1925, and as such this book makes a definite contribution to U. S. military his­tory, especially air power history. The author has made excellent use of a wide variety of other sources, much of it of a personal recollection nature coming from many who knew and admired—or disap­proved—of the flamboyant Mitchell. The excellent illustrations are themselves a fine history of this famous American airman.

British Sea Power

Admiral B. B. Schofield, Royal Navy. London: Batsford, 1967 271 pp. 45 shillings.

This latest naval volume in the British Battle Series deals in broad terms with the Royal Navy’s 20th century career, a career which saw that power reach its zenith in 1914, experienced two World War vic­tories over Germany, and then descend toward a state of eclipse. Admiral Schofield’s adroit telling of this story is particularly well done, although he is understandably at odds with the British politicians’ views as to the necessity of maintaining the Royal Navy’s traditional state of influence and readiness.

This is an attempt to provide the armchair tactician with a detailed description of the Civil War’s major military and naval engagements by careful selection and editing of accounts related by the men who par­ticipated therein. As Bruce Catton states in his In­troduction, “this book presents a story that is com­plete but compact.”

Cunningham of Hyndhope

Oliver Warner. London: John Murray, 1967. 301 pp. Illus. 42 shillings.

This memoir by one of Britain’s more prolific and successful popularizers of naval history is a “pleasant and meaningful portrait of a great sea commander,” “ABC,” who led the British Mediterranean Fleet in its famous 1940 air attack on Taranto, and who served as Britain’s First Sea Lord from the end of 1943 until 1946. While this biography is no competition in scope with the subject’s own outstanding Sailor’s Odyssey, still Warner’s volume contains a freshness and charm which add appreciably to the understanding of this great figure who must be regarded as one of the greatest of British naval officers.

The Montgomery Legend

R. W. Thompson. London: Allen & Unwin, 1967. 276 pp. 32 shillings.

Despite this debunking book, the legend of “Monty” will undoubtedly remain intact, for the author’s “axe-grinding” efforts are probably too patent and too unsubtle to achieve any serious mind-changing.
