SOVIET SEA-POWER
AMERICAN’S TRIBUTE BIG SUBMARINE FLEET (Noon.) NEW YORK, Dec. 3, Russia, not Germany, has the largest submarine fleet in history, writes the editor of Sea-Power, which is the Navy League’s official magazine. Russia, he says, had developed prefabricated submarines, and since 1928 had been building parts in Gorki, 250 miles east of Moscow. Another Ural mountains factory was then shipping parts to Vladivostok, the Sea of Japan, the Black Sea and Murmansk. Russia built 112 new naval ships in 1940 and 168 in 1941, including more powerful and more speedy destroyers than Germany, Italy, or France in the same period.. Two 35,000-ton battleships are nearing completion and two 12,000-ton aircraft carriers of American design are ready for service. Red sailors sank 81 enemy warships and 276 transports and auxiliary ships in 15 months of war.
