WELCOME TO “THE FLEET.”
Not all of the American Fleet, it is true, cast its
anchors in Gastineau Channel today. But a division
of submarines is no weak portion of it, and this
division which is cruising in Alaska waters for the
first time is composed of the latest type and |
largest of Uncle Sam’s undersea craft. With some
1,600 officers and men aboard they have come as
our guests, not merely guests of Juneau, but also
guests of the entire Territory, for Juneau is its
capital. They will be with us until July 30. Almost
as soon as they depart, we shall be host to some
500 more, including aviators, pilots and mechanics
from 12 of the Navy's latest and biggest airplanes.
