The length of courses for new V-12students who enter college for the firs ttime to become a member of special-ized service, including chaplain, medi-cal, dental, and engineering officercandidates, will vary from 8 to 14terms.

Such examples of ingenuity pointup one great difference in theSeabees'work, and their work i n civilian life(most were construction workers be-fore joining): n the Navy, they mustperform their construction taskswi t hwhatevermaterial s athand, withfew chances to get supplies to whichthey were accustomed before movinginto wax zones.

Newest operation of these Navy con-structionbattalions, who today dohundreds of special odd jobs for theService, are he "Seabee Specials."These groups load and unload shipsin war zones, where civilian labor isunavailable, and they have set somestartling speed records at stevedoring.(There will be more on the Specialslater in this article.)To the officers of the Civil Engineercorps of the Navy, under the guidancePage 18

has been given the duty and respon-sibility of the planning and adminis-tering of the Seabees. These civil en-gineer officerspossess eithera civilengineering degree or its equivalent,and are men who have had engineer-ing, construction, or manageria1 ex-perience in civilianife. They aremen who ar e well qualified to fulfillthe responsibilitieshey have as-sumed. Theynclude raduates ofevery leading college and universityin ourcountry; heyare men whohave been instructors, civil engineers,constructionngineers,xcavationexperts, tunnel engineers, road build-ers, bridge builders; inshort, everyconceivable branch and type of struc-tural and mechanical ability is repre-sented.

Each Seabee battalion is composedof one Headquarters company andfouronstruction companies. TheHeadquarters company is comprisedof 176 men, consisting of draftsmen,bakers, cooks, gunners, yeomen, store-

penters, sheet metal workers, electri-etc.; this makes of it a well-roundedcians,motormechanics, lumbers,construction unit. The Headquarterscompany in each unit, when properlyequipped, can operate in any sectionof the globe without help from othersources. Theotal complement o fany one battalionconsists of 1,079menand 32 officers. In addition o26 Civil Engineer Corps officers, a bat-talion has 2 doctors, 1 dentist, 2 sup-ply and disbursing officers, and 1chaplain. The basic concept of eachbattalion assumes tha t ts membersare not on l y trainedonstructionworkers, but are also effective fightingmen,ready and prepared to defendtheir base, and ready for offensiveaction should the need arise.The Seabee trainingamps arecarefully selected as tovariety of ter-rain.Sanddunes, beaches, swamps,lakes, wooded uplands, lowlands thickwith scrub brush, and open fields. Inshort, site location is chosen with aneye toward preparing the Seabee forthe day when he may encounter such

conditions on strange nd foreignshores. His training includes lecturesand Aeld follow-up on military cour-tesy, extended order drills for squadand platoon together with combatsignals, scouting ,and patrolling, firedistribution, control and fire orders,security on haltand march. He iscarefully trained in deployment fromairc raft and use of rifle for antiair-craft fire.He learnsbattalion fieldmaneuvers in heavily wooded terrain.He is given carefully supervised in-structionon bayonet use and drill,grenade instructions, commando tac-tics. He learns to defend himselfthrough judo in unarmed defense andhand-to-hand combat. He is giveninstructions in field fortifications,booby traps, jungle warfare, and trailcutting. He learns first aid under thecareful guidance of competentn-structors. He learns the care and useof machine guns, mortars, automaticrifles, and submachine guns. He isgiven careful instruction and drill inchemical warfare, gas, etc. He maybe selected for a school offeringcourses in electricity, refrigeration,diving, passive defense, signaling,photography, gas engine and mobileequipment, welding, rigging, drafting,radio, earth-moving equipment, Pip-ing and heating, and many others toonumerous to mention. He is thor-oughly trained and familiarized withadvance-base equipment and otherproblems pertaining to his specialistduty. To sum it all up, the Seabeeis as well trained and well equipped afighting and construction man as theworld has ever seen. He i s truly Pre-pared for action, be it of a civil ora warlike nature. His motto, Con-struimus Batuimus, really meanswhat it says: We can build; Wecan fight.The Seabees were in he NorthAfrican movement which finally ter-minated in victory in Tunisia.

SUBMARINES: This drawing of a British Sunderland flying boat attacking an enemy sub-marine can be used t o illustrate hree similar feats of courage and skill performed recently by U . s. Navyairmen. Th e story below tells how U . S . planes sank their subs.Cats S ink Subs in Two OceansThis is a story about enemy sub-marines,about the Navys Catalinapatrol bombers, andabout the menwho take them far out to sea to pro-tect Allied shipping against undersearaiders. It is a story in three parts,each complete within itself.The heroes are Lt. Richard E.Schreder,Lt. ( jg) John E Dryden,Jr., and Machinist Leland L. Davis.All used Cats to send enemy sub-marines to the bottom.Lieutenant Schreder, a native ofToledo, Ohio, several months ago wasreturning from a routine patrol flightover the Atlantic when his radio op-erator reported a large enemy U-boatcruising on the surface. Swinging hisplane into the path of the sun to es-cape detection by the subs lookouts,Lt. Schreder succeeded in bringing hisPlane almost on topof th e enemy ves-sel. Justas he levelled off thesubspotted the plane and attempted o

A lone American submarine, prey-ingon apanese hipping anes o.Indochina and n he South Pacificsince shortly after Pearl Harbor, sent10 enemy vessels totaling more than50,000 tons to the bottom. Her com-manding. officer, Lt. Comdr.

sub was placed on patrol duty to helpcheck the Japanese push southward,but was subsequently ordered to Cor-regidor to assist in evacuating navalpersonnel during the siege of t hatPhilippine Island fortress. She alsoparticipated in evacuations fromJava when the Japanese attacked theDutch East Indies.After a brief overhaul in Australia,the submarine resumed herpatroldutyduring which she sank the 10enemy vessels.Describing the sinkings as routine,Lieutenant Commander Ferrallsaidthat no survivors were taken off thesunken vessels because the waters inwhich he was operating were toodangerous and were infested withenemy shipping,

The prize sinking was the Jap-anese submarine, sent, to the bottomwith a single torpedo shot.We came upon theJap subma-rine, Mr. Ferrall said,when we weresubmerged and on patrol. They wereon the surface and near their baseand never saw us. We fired one tor-pedo and she filled up and sank rap-idly, stern first. We didnt see anysurvivors and they never knew whathit them.When one Jap troop transport wastorpedoed, the exp l~s ionblew one ofthe transports whale boats into thewater, right side up and oars inlace.When the second torpedo sank theship, some Japs merely jumped over-board and climbed into heir whaleboat.

The second in a series of Navy Ci-vilian Orientation Courses has beenconcluded at th e United States NavalReserve Midshipmens School, NewYork, N. Y.Under the immediate supervisionof th e commanding officer, CaptainJ. K. Richards, USN (Ret.), of theUnited States Naval Reserve Midship-mens School, the civilians were sub-jected to a strenuous series of lectures,motion pictures, and tr ips designed togive them a vivid impression of thevast and vital job in which the Navyand industry are artners.In the Mens Faculty Club of CO-lumbia University, lectures weregiven by authorities in many phasesof Naval activity. In the closing ad-dress, UnderSecretary of the NavyJames Forrestal stressed the impor-tance of continued good understand-ing between the Navy and industry.He expressed the hope that n hepeace that follows this war, we willnot witness the wholesale destructionof naval armament and the factories

which build such armament that wewitnessed at the close of the lastwar.He also asked the civilians to con-sider seriously the belief that astrong, efficient Navy is an instrumentfor preserving peace as well as forwaging war.Many rear admirals delivered ad-dresses during the courses. Theywere:Rear Admiral E. Marquart, USN,CommandantThird Naval District;Rear Admiral H. G. Bowen, USN, Spe-cial Assistant to the Under Secretaryof the Navy; Rear Admiral J. M.
