Italian Navy Is Small
'But Very Well Organized
Taranto, Italy—— It taJkes
about 30 minutes for the whole
Italian Navy to pass in review—
and that is steaming- along at a
pretty fair rate.
Because the pre-war fleet with
which Mussolini tried to make the
Mediterranean once more “M are
Nostrum,” (Our Sea) has dwin
dled from sixth biggest navy in the
world down to 36 ships.
That includes everything down
to the vest-pocket-size motor tor
pedo boats with six-man crews.
It also includes three clean-lined
former United States destroyer es
corts just turned over to Italy un
der the aims aid program.
But American naval observers
here are not too discouraged over
prospects for that pin-sized fleet,
now a part of the Atlantic Pact
force of western defense.
Well Organized
The latest full fleet review here
was described by these high offi
cers as “a well-organized show,”
and they said that although Italy
still lacked modern ships, she could
show “a strong and well-trained
naval personnel ready to man a
bigger fleet as fast as it can be
formed.”
That can start now—-after five
years. The Peace Treaty did not
allow Italy any new naval con
struction until 1950. It takes time
to build warships. And even more
than that, it takes money. But
Italy has begun a naval construc
tion program—and to fill in the
gap she is receiving surplus United
States fighting ships.
Besides the three destroyer es
cort vessels already received, it
has been announced in Washington
that Italy will get the “Wood-
worth” and “Nicholson,” two of
the fastest destroyers of the Amer
ican navy. And after them, it is
likely that still other ships may
follow until Italy’s own new naval
construction begins sliding down
the ways.
Probably equally important at
the long-deserted naval air field
just north of this big naval base,
there now sits a long row of
blunt-winged, blue-painted navy
fighter-bombers. They’re former
■American Curtis hell-divers, sent
here also as part of the arms aid
program intended to help Italy
guard her part of the Atlantic
Pact’s western line. Until they ar
rived, the Italian Navy had no air
arm. Under the Peace Treaty she

her only planes were obsolete land

The Peace Treaty — which the
United States Senate has now
proposed freeing- of its military
limitations—also allows Italy no
submarines, and no assault craft.
She is allowed two battleships.
She has afloat the ancient Doria—
grim ghost of 1913 and World War
I. The twin battleship, Duilio, also
exists,—on paper. In reality, how
ever, she is docked and under half

-ATTENTION-
army and AIR FORCE GRADUATES!
We now have in stock the NEW OFFICER’S
GUIDE. This new volume brings up to date the val
uable features of its predecessors, and constitutes a
treasure chest of helpful information and guidance.
Officers of all grades and length of service, on
active or inactive duty, recognize the value of having
THE OFFICER’S GUIDE available for ready refer
ence and wise counsel. Half a million officers have
used this book in its many editions. THE OFFI
CER’S GUIDE is not, as supposed by many individ
uals, a guide designed solely for junior officers. True,
most junior officers do acquire copies early in their
career as there is no substitute for this reliable and
ever ready source of helpful information. However,
many experienced officers of senior grade with many
years of service find THE OFFICER’S GUIDE a
highly useful and time saving reference.
The officer’s family will also benefit by reading
this comprehensive volume. Selected sections such
as Army Posts and Stations, Foreign Service and Life
in Oversea Commands, Customs of the Service, The
Code of the Army, and Leadership help to orient your
family on the military way of life. To a surprising
degree the career of an officer is influenced by hie
wife. She can contribute most to his success if she is
fully informed as to the Army’s codes, requirements,
customs, and opportunities.
This new edition is in tune with the situation of
today and tomorrow. Considerable revision has been
accomplished to incorporate important changes in
regulations.
Don’t get left out, come in today and get your
copy today, we have only a limited stock.
