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.

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 month came into service.

OUT OF THE LINE This intensive effort in training had its effect on the number of boats on active service. Admiral Michelsen records that in 1918 there were no fewer than fifty boats attached to the submarine school for instructional pur- poses. Twenty of these were

newly delivered and may have been running trials as well as serving the school, but that- still leaves thirty boats with drawn from the fighting.

All these facts are worth bearing in mind when we are considering the present posi- tion in the Battle of the At- lantic. We sometimes forget. in face of our own difficulties, that the enemy, too, has his

SUBMARINE SCHOOL

As the personnel of the in Division Submarine August, 1914, amounted to no more than 1,400, including shore staff and instructors, it would seem that the sub- 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 afloat 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 ficera

below was for

the standard that the British Navy required for the sub- marine service. No, more than three months instruc- tion at the submarine school was given to commanding of flcers and senior engineers, and four weeks was all the instruction given to a watch- keeping offleer-though it was apparently the rule that all submarine officers must al- rendy have passed the long torpedo-course. The training of the petty officers and men,

At a moderate computa- tion, no fewer than 3,000 of ficers and men were lost be- fore this war was six months

old.

These were all highly trained men, those who had been secretly prepared before Hitler admitted that he was building new submarines.

They were the men who were to form the "core" of the sub- marine service na new boats came forward; who were to provide the skilled minority among the part-trained cach 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 men quite as much as by shortage of new boats to replace the sinkinga.

Indeed, we may fairly as- sume, on the experience of 1017, 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 tored as speedily as possible" Even the survivors of that first sen "blitz" must have been needed nahore as
