Jointed to the recent Navy
>ki Jump operation and the
lirforce activities on T-3, the
floating ice island, near the
north pole Capt. Duborg was
' aboard a Navy ski-equipped
Neptune that lost an engine
on take off from icy airfield
and was forced to stay until
an engine change could be
made.
The Air Force flew in an
extra engine. Navy personnel
and equipment to make the
engine change. The change
was made in four days in ex
tremely cold weather and the
Neptune flew off the island;
and returned to the base,
Capt. Duborg said.
Speaking specifically of the
! Navy’s role in Alaska he told of
I the activities at Point Barrow
1 and those through the Aleu
tian Chain.
1 “An activity in which the
Navy has long been interested i
ever since President Warren
Harding turned the North
western-most part of Alaska
over to the Navy, has been the
Naval Petroleum Reserve at
Point Barrow.”
Capt. Duborg told of the
many separate projects origi
nated at Washington, D. C.
and carried out at Point Bar
row. Studies of the ocean,
ice, salinity tests, the current
measurements of deep sea
soundings, cold-weather tests
for amphibious vehicles and
clothing are among the pro
jects now being made.
He told of the activities, pro
jects and operations underway
at 17th Naval District head
quarters here.
“Rear Adm. E. A. Cruise
is the head man of the Navy
in Alaska, and in this capa^
city wears three hats. Name
ly: Deputy Commander in
Chief uf the Alaskan Com
mand, immediately under
Lieut. General W. E. Kep
ner, Commander of the A
laskan Sea Frontier and Com
mandant nf thf> 17th Maual
District,” Capt. Duborg ex
; plained.
In pointing to the core of
the Navy’s mission in Alaska,
he said, . . .what role should
sea power play in the plann
ing, co-ordinating and the
training that the three ser
vices are conducting to de
fend Alaska? First, the sea
lines of communications must
be kept open between Se
attle, San Francisco and other
west coast ports and Alaska.”
He emphaized the impor
tance of logistic support of
troops. To accomplish logistic
support it would be up to the
Navy to clear the sea lanes of
mines, combat aggressor sub
marines and obtain dominance
in the air over the sea to as
sure a continued flow of shipp
ing, Capt. Duborg said.
In closing he added, “The
Air Force is answering well
the question of air power; the
Army is holding the key to
Alaskan land power. The
Navy feels confident of her
sea power. Altogether that
neans ‘Unity-Strengih-Free
dom-which preserve demo
cracy and the way of life of
the free people of the world.”
