"NAZI FACT” A spy novel of the last war has provided Goering with documentary

The "little ship" men have done as much as any suc- cessfully to smash the Nazi menace beneath the sea.

The King has made the submarine Ursula the proudest of his fighting craft for the awards received by her complement (al- ready announced but now officially gazetted) make them, by comparison, the most decorated in the Fleet,
