SEA POWER VICTORY

TRIBUTE TO BRITISH FLEET (Rec. 10.30 a.m.) London, Aug. 29. Stating that the Yokosuka naval base will become the first Allied shore base in Japan with the marines’ occupation on Thursday morning, Admiral Nimitz claimed that the Japanese defeat was clearly a sea power victory inasmuch as the homeland is an island empire with its army almost intact, an air force, but no navy. Admiral Nimitz paid a tribute to “my friend Sir Bruce Fraser who with his ships of the British Fleet had a hand in this.”
