Navy Will Send Nuclear Submarine
Over The North Pole—Under The Ice
By C. YATES McDANIEL *
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Arc
tic Ocean, whose treacherous ice
packs have resisted all attempts
to cross the top of the world by
ship, may be conquered for the
first time this summer—by sub
marine.
Some,Navy leaders who view
the Arctic as a possible base of
offense and defense in a global
war have received general ap
proval for another submarine
penetration of the Arctic’s ice
choked waters.
Last summer the submarine
Nautilus spent bVz days under the
ice cruising to within 180 miles
of the North Pole and then turn
ing around. The new expedition
hopes to make a straight-through
trip.
The objective: to seek scientific
answers to questions posed by
missile age strategists of Canada
and the United States.
Last summer’s successful voy
age under polar ice by the nuclear
powered submarine Nautilus
spurred interest in the northern
ocean. It also convinced military
thinkers that much remains to be
learned about the Arctic seas,
their depths, temperatures and,
above all, the movements of the
ice pack and the areas which at
various times of the year might
be free of ice and reasonably safe
for navigation.
“The Arctic Ocean is an area
of prime importance, one that we
cannot afford to neglect,” says
Rear Adm. John T. Hayward,
assistant chief of Naval Opera
tions for research and develop
ment.
He says much has been learned
about the Arctic from aerial ex
plorations. But he adds that in
studying ice movements, its
thickness, and the action of cur
rents, there is no substitute for
observations by surface vessels or
submarines that can go under the
ice and remain there with their
elaborate sounding and measur
ing equipment for many days at
a time.
I I
One of the arguments used by
Navy men in the fight for ap
proval to build nuclear powered
submarines was that such craft,
able to cruise for weeks or even
months under the surface, could
use the Arctic Ocean as a chan
nel of approach and attack, in
time of war, against the far-flung
coastline of the U.S.S.R.
Women's Society Meets Friday

Draper are hostesses.
