SUBS NOW MAKING
TESTS IN ARCTIC
/
HONOLULU,—The U.S. submar
ine Becuna is probing the Arctic
ice pack between Alaska and Si
beria gathering data tor “opera
tion iceberg,” in which four un
derwater craft will explore the
hazards of Arctic maneuvers.
A naval spokesman emphasiz
ed that the Becuna’s cruise is not
an isolated experiment but the
first phase of preparations for
any eventuality. He said it is
the forerunner of a series of cold
temperature maneuvers designed
to increase the efficiency of U.S.
submarines in Arctic waters.
Comdr. L. P. Ramage of Hono
lulu, holder of the Congressional
Medal of Honor and Commandant
of the Pearl Harbor submarine
base, will head the July operation.
The subs Trumpetfish, Black
fish, Ousk, and Diodon will par
ticipate. They will rendezvous
in late July near Kiska and pro
ceed through the Bering Strait in
to the Arctic Ocean.
The tests will determine the ef
fects of frigid temperatures on
mechanisms for both surface and
underwater operations, including
torpedo firing.
SCIENCE IN THE NEWS
Limits of radar
!
Radar to the moon does not
mean that radar to the other parts
of the solar system will soon be
possible, says W. D. Hershberger,
a scientist of RCA. Radar to the
sun is probably impossible because
of an electrically charged layer
just above its surface. Radar
to the planets Saturn and Jupiter
is certainly impossible because of
ammonia gas, present in their at
[mospheres, would absorb the ra
dar microwaves and thus prevent
an echo. Radar to Venus, Mars,
and Mercury can still be consid
ered as being definitely on the
possible list.
