After s e v e r a l days of s a i l d r i l l i n Moray f i r t h , with home-made sweep wire and k i t e s aboard, t h e two tiny v e s s e l s were towed t o t h e Southern edge of t h e mine f i e l d by t h e t u g s Patapsco and Patwrent, arr i v i n g on t h e morning of December 22.

Again they crossed and re-crossed, f o u r crossings i n a l l , O t h e l a s t s o u t h e r l y sweep and j u s t i n s i g h t of t h e n tugs a storm arose s o rapidly t h a t t h e tugs were unable t o pass tow lines, Through a howling thirty-hour g a l e , t h e two mine-battered l i t t l e s h i p s fought f o r t h e i r l i v e s . The violence of t h e storm may be judged by the f a c t t h a t t h e main topmast of t h e RED ROSE, a s p a r t e n inches i n diameter and carrying no s a i l , was broken o f f a t t h e c r o s s t r e e s . One of t h e RED ROSE crew, Quartermaster second c l a s s , P. J.

With green seas roaring over t h e bow and burying t h e two helmsmen lashed t o t h e t i l l e r , Strahan worked h i s way forward and climbed t h o shrouds with a knife i n h i s t e e t h .

Watching h i s chance and j, with p e r f e c t timing as t h e spar swung br he climbed p a s t it onto t h e c r o s s t r e e s and cut t h e top mast a d r i f t .

SUBMARINE SCHOOL, NEXT LONDON, CONN.

(cent.)
London, Connecticut. In January, 1940, t h e school moved i n t o an imposing b r i c k s t r u c t u r e

on t h e Upper Base a t New London, Connecticut, and expanded i n t e n s i v e t r a i n i n g courses f o r o f f i c e r s and e n l i s t e d personnel f o r t h e submarine courses. A new, completely modern D i e s e l l a b o r a t o r y i s now under cons t r u c t i o n and w i l l b e completed l a t e t h i s year. These modern classrooms,
l a b o r a t o r i e s , and equipment and t h e expanded Submarine Base a r e a f a r c r y from t h e pioneering days when t h e p r e s e n t base was but a coaling station. The Submarine School was founded i n 1916 with Commander Yates S t i r l i n g as i t s f i r s t Commanding Officer. Our e a r l y Submarine S e r v i c e leads one t o believe t h a t , as Admiral Hart once said, !)In general, t h e submarines, l i k e Topsy, j u s t grew, and t h e s e r v i c e a t l a r g e knew very l i t t l e about them." P r i o r t o 1916 personnel f o r submarines was s e l e c t e d from promising volunteer m a t e r i a l a v a i l a b l e from t h e naval s e r v i c e and t h m e o f f i c e r s and men were s e n t d i r e c t l y t o submarines without any preliminary t r a i n i n g . In t h e e a r l y p a r t of t h e f i r s t Vorld IVar t h e importance of t h e submarine r a p i d l y came t o t h c f r o n t and t h e n e c e s s i t y f o r advanced t r a i n i n g o f personnel w a s recognized. The f i r s t organized submarine c l a s s met i n July, 1916, and t h e courses extended over a six-months' period. A l l members of t h i s c l a s s were r e g u l a r l i n e o f f i c e r s . Because of increased a c t i v i t i e s it was necessary by 1918 t o include some r e s e r v e o f f i c e r s i n t h e course. Some of t h e s e o f f i c w s came from c i v i l l i f e and o t h e r s were s e l e c t e d f o r promotion from e n l i s t e d ranks by a s p e c i a l board. These reserve o f f i c e r s were given a s h o r t course i n deck d u t i e s a t Pelham Bay, Massachusetts, and a t t h e Naval Academy, Annapolis, p r i o r t o enteri n g t h e submarine school. A s t h e ITar emergency and demand increased, it was found necessary t o reduce t h e l e n g t h of t h e course and new c l a s s e s were enrolled every fewweeks. By e a r l y November, 1919, t h e school had reached i t s l a r g e s t enrollment, having 1 2 1 o f f i c e r s and 712 e n l i s t e d men as students. In t h e e a r l y post-War days and u n t i l 1924, t h e submarine course was shortened t o t h r e e months and t h e s t u d e n t s were s e l e c t e d from r e g u l a r l i n e o f f i c e r s . Beginning i n 1925 t h e school again resumed i t s six-months' schedule and c l a s s e s continued of t h i s d u r a t i o n u n t i l t h e p r e s e n t n a t i o n a l emergency was declared. Once more, t o meet t h e demand of t h e National Naval Expansion Program, i t has been necessary t o shorten t h e length of t h e courses and i n c r e a s e t h e s i z e of t h e c l a s s e s . The o f f i c e r s making up t h e present c l a s s e s f a l l i n t o f i v e c l a s s i f i c a t i o n s :

1. Regular Lina o f f i c e r s . 2. Naval Academy graduates who resigncd b u t have returned t o a c t i v e s e r v i c e i n t h e Naval Rsserve. 3 . Graduates of Naval R.O.T.C. u n i t s . 4.
