Polk, USNR Editor Harold Hanson, Sp(P)2c Photographer The official Navy Department viewpoint on the importance of Naval Aviation in the Naval organizational structure was given by Secretary Forrestal at a recent press conference. “I look forward to the time after this war,” he said, “when Air will be 60% of our strength, in terms of both men and material. “That situation is developing all the time; more and more people are concerned with aviation, and the actual fact is that the Navy is becoming an Air Navy. It is be coming that by the natural evolution of its activities and the natural reflection of the increasing preponderance of Air in our ac tivities. In other words, the difference be tween the Air Forces and ourselves—an evolution which will come, I think—is this: the leading commands of the Navy will be occupied by men who deal with air in one form or other.” Armament Change for Hellcats The Navy’s F6F Hellcats, carrier-based fighters flying from the Fast Carrier Task Force against Japan, now are carrying two 20 MM aircraft cannon and four .50-calibre machine guns instead of the former stand ard armament of six .50-calibre guns. This modification in armament was adopted to suit the changing assignment of the Naval Air Force as the war nears the Jap home land.

In earlier phases of the war, when the carrier pilots were breaking up the Jap air force in the Central Pacific, the Philippines and the Ryukyus, the airmen favored the six .50-calibre machine guns because of their fast firing rate and because their lighter weight enabled the fighters to carry a large amount of ammunition.
