U-BOAT LOSSES
70 PER CENT. SAYS EXPERT
Rec. 2 p.m.
LONDON, May 12
Commander Pursey, contributing to "Brassey's Naval Annual," 1941, estimates that it is likely, since new U-boats began to come into commission last May. that 70 per cent have been sunk. "It should be possible to improve that rate, but even the present rate is probably greater than German replacement of U-boats. It is certainly greater than the available supply of efficient crews," he adds.
