THE NEW U-BOATS
HEAVY LOSSES SUFFERED REPLACEMENTS EXCEEDED (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, May 12. Commander Pursey contributing to Brassey's Naval Annual, 1941, estimates it is likely since the new U-boats began to come into commission last May that 70 per cent, have been sunk. "It should be possible to improve this rate," he writes, " but even the present rate is probably greater than the German replacement of U-boats and it is certainly greater than the available supply of efficient crews."
