Navy To Develop
Atomic Warships
WASHINGTON </P)—'The navy
formally announced today it is
setting up a special section to try
to develop atojpic-powered war
ships.
The announcement followed a
statement yesterday by W. John
Kenney, assistant secretary of the
navy, that future ships of the fleet
may go into action so “buttoned
up” against atomic radiation that
not a man will be in sight.
At the same time there were
signs that the navy of the future
will take the shape of a force for
blasting enemy cities and land
bases rather than opposing fleets.
Navy men say the battleship
may vanish in favor of a guided
missile ship, strongly armored for
taking heavy punishment, which
can move up to foreign coasts and
pound inland cities and industrial
centers with huge rockets. The
department already is tconverting
two large craft for firing guided
missiles.
Cruisers may bow out in favor
of fast raiders which can bombard
oorstal installations with rockets.
The carrier may give way to
speedy interceptor ships bearing
pilotless aircraft which can
knock down enemy guided mis
siles aimed at the United States.
An “attack-killer” class, with
terrific fire power and loaded
with anti-submarine devices, is
expected to supersede today’s de
stroyers.
Submarines are expected to
take on new functions in scouting,
atom-weapon launching and the
carrying of cargo. 'The navy an
nounced last week plans to use
undersea craft for cargo, troops
and reconnaissance missions in
Arctic waters.
Kenney said yesterday the navy
will send a small force to the
Arctic for weather observations
this summer.
