Three Cloudbuster Aces m James Simpson, Stanley Skaug, John Smith No Wednesday Show There will be no entertainment program in Memorial Hall next Wednesday evening, so that cadets may attend the basketball game in Woollen gymnasium between the Cloudbusters and the Naval Air Station team from Norfolk. BASKETBALL (Continued from page three) Skaug and Elser at the guards. This is the same combination that started the Emery & Henry con test. SEA POWER (Continued from page three) the same course. Previous students of Togo’s strategy have been mis led by his stirring battle signals which made him appear to be an aggressive leader. Yet Togo him self went on record as saying, “In a battle the most important thing is caution.” Even in his great vic tory at Tsushima Admiral Togo had no intention of destroying the Russian fleet. His tactics during the battle give no hint of any plan to secure a decisive victory by pressing home the Japanese ad vantage in ships and guns. Like his predecessors Togo was mind ful of the navy’s obligation to pro tect troop movements. Indeed, the official Japanese history of the Russo-Japanese War emphasizes the fact that naval forces were em ployed primarily in support of the army’s plan of operations. At the outbreak of war in 1914 the Japanese again put their basic naval policy into effect. Enough troops were conveyed to China to crush the German Asiatic bases but the Imperial navy allowed Graf von Spee’s squadron to escape across the Pacific. If the Japanese are reluctant to use their sea power in a vigorous naval offensive to secure command of the sea, how can the raids on Port Arthur in 1904 and on Pearl Harbor in 1941 be explained? Both of these operations, conducted un der conditions of minimum risk be fore the outbreak of war, secured a temporary advantage for the movements of the Japanese army. By immobilizing the Russian fleet at Port Arthur the Japanese were able to transport enough troops to insure the capture of that base from the land. Pearl Harbor won a temporary respite that permit ted unhindered amphibious opera tions in the East Indies. If this analysis of Japanese naval theory is correct, it will be useless for the U. S. fleet to at tempt to force action upon an enemy who has never sought bat tle even under the most favorable circumstances. He will be evasive and his counter-measures will be limited to attacks by submarines and aircraft. Aviation as the Jap anese employ it is intended to spare valuable warship losses to their main fleet.
