NAVAL PLANS
FOR PACIFIC
COAST PORTS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—(By Asso
ciated Press).—Development of Paci
fic ,JCoast naval shore establishment
during the next five years at a cost
of' $158,000000 is recommended in the
report of the special board headed by
ftear Admiral J. S. McKean sent last
year to check upon its previous naval
program. Deep water fleet bases at
Bremerton, Wash., at a cost of $44,- ■
000000 and at San Francisco at a cost
of $51,000,000 arc the chief items pro
posed, the San Francisco project as
previously outlined by the Helm board
.paving been increased by proposed
destroyer and submarine bases.
The report urged the establishment
within three years of the base at San
Francisco, saying that with the Brem
erton base it would provide two deep
water stations for the capital ships,
the minimum required for efficient
operation of the Pacific fleet. In ad
dition, xpansion of the facilities at
9an Diego to provide a complete op
erating base for southern California
was recommended to include fleet
supply facilities and a repair base for
the smaller ships. Advantages of this
point as a base for maneuvers and
target practice were emphasized.
The board agreed with the Helm
Commission (1917) that insufficient
depth of water rendered the Mare Is
land yard unavailable for develop
ment as a base in San Francisco har
bor and favored the Alameda site over
that at Hunters Point although with
holding final decision pending further
sub-surfacing exploration.
The Bremerton navy yard ,the
board held, should be developed for
the.,exclusive use of big craft, with a
repair vase for the Puget Sound sub
marine flotilla at the Keyport torpedo
station and an operating base for des
troyers, submarines and aircraft at
Port Angeles, Wash’., near Ediz Hook.
The Bremerton base developments,
the board said, also should be com
pleted within three years, as of vital
importance to the fleet. It should in
clude additional slips and piers, two
large and two small dry-docks and
expanded storage facilities,
when the lackvbgkq cmfwy d
“The urgency cannot be exaggerat
ed when the lack of facilities for
large ships at San Francisco and at
Hawaii is realized,” the report said.
The strategic position of the Hawai
ian Islands, the board said made abso
lutely imperative the development of
the Pearl Harbor station into a first
class base adequate to “take care of
the whole fleet in any movement, of
fensive or defensive, across the Paci
fic.” Developments recommended at
an estimated cost of 27,000,000 includ
ed an additional dry-dock, increased
storage space, expansion of repair and
maintenance equipment, and a com
plete submarine base.
The board recommended establish
ment of a submarine base at San Pe
dro, Cal., and a base for submarines,
destroyers and aircraft at Astoria,
Oregon, on the Columbia River. The
latter would require dredging the
channel and serve also as an anchor
age for big ships.
Advantages of San Diego as an avia
tion training and operating base were
emphasized and exclusive naval use
of the training station now operated
jointly with the army was urged.
All recommendations of the board
for the deepening of waterways at the
various stations were based on ships
of 40 feet draft and 1000 feet In
length.
