Power For Peace
Whether On Land, In Air, Or On The Sea
The Navy’s Accomplishments Are Many
Navy Day, 1961, which is being
observed today on the Naval Sta
tion, focuses attention on the ac
complishments of this branch of
the country’s services.
The iNavy has scored in aviation,
n underwater craft development
and in striking power armaments.
A plane featuring the most ef
fective electronic, sonic, and mag
netic equipment ever developed for
antisubmarine warfare is now used
by the Navy. It is the P3V-1 ‘Orion’
—its super-sleuth aircraft.
The Navy’s newest antisubma
rine weapon, ASROC, became op
erational in the Pacific fleet early
in Feb. when it was fired by the
guided missile frigate USS Mahon,
operating near San Diego.
A new ultra-sensitive radiation
measuring device, recently tested
at a depth of one mile beneath the
sea, has performed the first known
underwater analysis of the sea’s
natural sources of radiation.
Called DUNC (deep underwater
nuclear counting) the 6- by 36-inch
cylinderical device is so sensitive
that it can detect one atom of ra
dium in a billion molecules of wa
ter. It instantly records data for
merly obtained only by laboratory
analysis of samples of water col
lected from the sea.
A Navy aviator was the first in
space. Cmdr. Alan B. Shepard, Jr.,
became the first American to make
a flight into space on May 5. One
of the four Naval aviators in the
Mercury project, Shepard hurtled
115 miles into space and 302 miles
downrange from Cape Canaveral in
15 minutes.
The Navy constantly aids in hu
manitarian efforts while at sea.
The many instances are countless
in which Navy ships and flyers go
to the rescue of ships at sea, or a
lone Chinese fisherman in trouble,
or a group of natives stranded on
an atoll in the Pacific, or a seaman
aboard ship who may be ill and
needs medical care.
“Optimum track ship routing”,
a new system devised to route ships
around bad weather areas, devised
by the Navy hydrographic office,
has resulted in annual savings to
the nation’s taxpayers of over ten
million dollars. The system is
based on the application of long
range weather forecasts to the
known performance of ships in
various weather conditions.
A new high-speed motion picture
camera capable of exposing film at
one fifty-millionth-of-one-second
without losing picture quality has
been developed by the Navy.
Recording single frame action at
20 billionths-of-a-second, while tak
ing one million frames per second,
this ultra-high speed camera is
fifteen times faster than the high
speed cameras now in use.
The nuclear submarine force has
a total of 48 vessels in various
stages of operation and construc
tion. Of the total there were eleven
in commission and eighteen under
construction while the fleet ballis
tic missile submarine force had
five Polaris carrying vessels in
commission and fourteen under
construction.
The nuclear submarine Patrick
Henry recently set a new world
underwater cruising record of 66
days,'22 hours, thus bettering by
twelve hours the old record held
by her sister ship, the George
Washington.
