STRONG US.

NAVAL BASE AT PEARL HARBOUR

The United Staten is forming a powerful "spear-head" of security in the Pacific by a fully-balanced fast-striking naval force which has been sent from the United States Fleet to the new station at Pearl Harbour, Hawali.

Although the Fleet spokesman would make 10 comment, it is learned from reliable sources that the new divisions include the new aircraft carrier Enterprise. with her 80 fighting. scouting and bombing planes; four cruisers, with their complement of scouting planes, and a flotilla of some 30 destroyers, plus their light cruiser fagship.

Already on the station at Pearl Harbour are the 72 giant trans- oceanic flyingboats of Patrol Wing 2. under Rear-Admiral A.-L. R. Bristol, Jr.; the 14 submarines of Squadron 4, the four units of Des- troyer Division 28 lately arrived from San Diego, and the mine units of Mine Squadron 1.

POSITION ENHANCED Competent observers emphasised that the shift westward of a major portion of the U.S. Fleet's strength will in no wise alter the concen- tration of the bulk of America's power the Pacific," but,

in rather, will enhance its strategic position.

sea

They explained further that the transfer will relieve the growing congestion of naval base facilities on San Pedro and Ban Diego bays, particularly as they concern alr operations.

The air congestion temporarily relieved by the departure of the Enterprise will agam develop in the San Diego-San Pedro Area when the new carrier Wasp joins the United States Fleetdag of Admiral C. C. Bloch..

In the main, however, the trans- fer of the Enterprise and her con- sorts is regarded as a temporary measure occasioned by the Inter- national situation.
