NEW NAVAL SCHOOLS
PROJECTS IN INDIA TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS (British Official Wireless.) (10 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 13. The Royal Indian Navy, in conjunction with the Royal Navy, is developing a new anti-submarine school in India which will be the largest in the British commonwealth outside Britain.
The officer in charge will be lent from the Royal Navy, and the staff will consist of officers from both the Royal Navy and the Royal Indian Navy. Officers and men for training will be drawn from all the navies of the United Nations.
Plans are being prepared by the Royal Indian Navy for a new torpedo school which, in addition to providing for torpedo instruction, will incorporate facilities for handling depth charges, mine-laying and the disposal and maintaining of ships’ electrical equipment. These three branches have been carried on hitherto in separate establishments, but the centralisation plan aims at producing a steady flow of highly qualified specialists, the best of whom will be eligible for warrant and commissioned rank.
