Is Problem for Nazis
By A Naval Correspondent
The German Navy started this war better equipped in one respect than was the Kaiser's Navy. It had a fully or- ganised submarine in- struction school prepared for rapid expansion. The German Admiralty had learned by the bitter ex- perience of 1917 and 1918 how heavy the casualties in submarine war could be, and how essential it was to build up a big re- serve of trained or partly trained personnel ready to commission new boats as they were delivered from the builders, since there would be few sur- vivors of the destroyed craft available for fur- ther service.
Nearly a third of the men entered for U-boat service in the last war were casualties. The ac- tual figures, according to Admiral Michelsen, who was Senior Officer of Sub- marines, were-

both in the deck and engineer branches, was limited to three months.
The result Was that in . twenty-seven months the sub- marine school pussed 119 "trained" 27 commanding of- ficers, 55 watch-keepers, and 58 engineers every three months, thus providing the officer-personnel for the com- missioning of nine new boats a month. That was the rate at which the building yards · were delivering new boats in 1916, but in the next two years the output fell off, and only seven boats a came into service.

OUT OF THE LINE This intensive effort in training had its effect on the number of boats" on nelive service.
Admiral Michelsen records that in 1918 there were no fewer than fifty honts attached to the submarine school for instructional pur- poses. Twenty of these were newly delivered 'nnd may have been running trials as well as serving the school, but that still leaves thirty boats with- drawn from the fighting.

There is no doubt whatever that the losses in personnel of the German submarine ser- vice in the opening weeks of this

War
As the personnel of the Submarine Division in August, 1914, amounted to no more than 1,400, including shore staff and instructors, it would seem that the subfore this war way six months marine school's output of trained (or, more accurately, semi-trained) men in the fifty, one months of war was more than 16,000 officers and men.
This is a very remarkable feat, but in actual fact, as the German official history quite casually notes, about 20 per cent. of the crews sent.nflout had received no special train- ing. They had to pick up. what knowledge they could while the bont was running her trials and doing her "shake-down!” cruise. This factor must have played a part in the increase in the average sinkings of U-boats, which was 1.59 per month in 1915 and 6.4, per month in 1918.
TRAINING OF OFFICERS
The training of the of- ficers WAH far below the standard that the British Navy required for the sub- murine service. No more than three months' instruc- tion at the submarine school was given to commanding of- Acers and senior engineers, and four weeks was all the.

They were the men who were to form the "core" of the sub- marine service as new boats
came forward, who were to.. provide the skilled minority part-trained in among the ench crew.
SINKING LOSSES There can be little doubt that the long period of quie- scence in the U-boat war in the Atlantic last year-when the British losses fell as low as 27,000 tons in a month- -was enforced on the Ger- mans by the losses of these skilled mon quite as much as by. shortage of new boats to replace the sinkings.
Indeed, we may fairly ns- sume, on the experience of 1917, that new deliveries in the winter and spring of 1939-40 were diverted to the submarine school as training boats in order that the num- bers of trained Or semi- trained men might be res- tored as speedily as possible. Even the survivors of that first sea "blitz" must have been
in- needed ashore as structors.
RAEDER'S WORRY
It is too early to say whether or not the present
crews
show day U-boats' signs of inexperience and of the incompetence due to un- dortaining. We should have to know much more than is at
