Navy's New Ships
More Effective,
Report Declares
Adoption of High Pressure
Steam Conditions Hailed
By Engineer Bureau
Improvements in engineering fea
tures, particularly in the adoption
of high-pressure steam conditions,
have made the Navy's new ships
more effective vessels. Acting Secre
tary of the Navy Edison was in
formed in the Bureau of Engineer
ing's annual report, released today, i
“These improvements.” the re- ]
port set out. “represent a bold step
forward in the face of conservatism,
trepidation, and no little opposi
tion.”
The report was submitted by Rear
Admiral Harold G. Bowen, who
headed the bureau until Septem
ber 12. when he was relieved by
Rear Admiral Samuel M. Robinson.
Admiral Bowes is now director of the
Naval Research Laboratory. Ana
costia. and has additional duties as
technical aid to the Secretary of
the Navy.
He defended the adoption of high
pressure, high temperature steam
conditions for steam propelled ves
sels of the Navy—a subject of much
dispute about a year ago—as pro
viding more efficient and economi
cal operation of vessels. He pointed
out that new machinery has devel
oped that is superior to older equip
ment.
Reliable and Easy to Operate.
“In short," Admiral Bowen com
mented, “as we have advanced
steam conditions we have developed
machinery which is not only more
economical, but is also more reliable
and just as easy, or even easier, to
operate, maintain, and protect in
battle. The advances to these con
ditions have been made by short
conservative, well tested steps, and
the Navy has gained thereby.”
Admiral Bowen explained that
pressure was advanced gradually
from 200 to the present standard
steam conditions of 600 pounds per
square inch pressure, and 850 de
grees Fahrenheit temperature.
He reported that “much progress"
had been made in perfecting light
weight. high-speed engines for sub
marine propelling machinery. “De
sign defects have been overcome.''
his report said, “and resulting per
formances have been gratifying.”
New Destroyers Discussed.
In commenting on the new de
etrnVPVQ c n m g mhioh hovo boon
reported as top-heavy. Admiral
Bowen said:
"The new' 1.500 and l.R50-ton de
stroyers that have joined the fleet
have proved themselves to be re
liable and efficient in operation.
Such few troubles as have developed
have been relatively minor in na
ture and are being corrected as the
vessels become available"
Repair facilities afloat are in
adequate to handle the load imposed
by the increase in number, size and
power of new vessels, the report
pointed out.
"This situation.” it added, "may
become acute during the coming
year. Repair facilities should be
considered for the Atlantic Squad
ron. particularly if that squadron is
to be augmented by additional ves- I
gels.”
Other points in the report in
cluded :
1. During the 1939 fiscal year
progress of shipbuilding was im- ,
proved, causes of serious delays were
eliminated or minimized, and some
ships have been completed ahead of
time.
2. Shipbuilding wages are showing
a slow, steady rise, while material
has been holding a constant level for
several months.
3. Navy yards and inspection of
fices are handicapped through lack
Of sufficient officers.
4. An office of research and in
vestigation has been established
during the year to study problems
of broad interest to the bureau.
Program Urged to Push
Milk Use by Poor
The District Commissioners have
been asked, through a resolution.
*’to undertake a program to increase
the consumption of milk among low
income families and to take the
necessary steps as soon as prac
ticable to put this program into op
eration.” officers of the Consumers’
Conference on High Prices ^nd Prof
iteering have announced.
The resolution called attention to ]
Department of Agriculture plans for
co-operation with local governments
in setting up relief milk programs
and declared Boston and Chicago
are among the cities which success
fully have enlarged the fluid milk
market through co-operation whth
farmers and processors in making
milk available to low-income groups.
