WHAT'S IN
A NAME?
Naming United States Navy
ships has followed a definite pat
tern through the years. Battle
ships, for' example, are named
after states) while cruisers get
their names from large cities.
Destroyers are named after in
V fdjviduals, like war heros, federal
, government notables, and iniven-
'tors. Submarines are named after
fish and marine creatures. Air
craft are given names of histor
ical naval vessels or battles.
As matter offact, there is a
" plan for naming ocean-going tugs,
harbor tugs, small . seaplane ten
ders, larger seaplane tenders, des
troyer tenders, gunboats, and at
tack transports.
If you're one of those individuals
who can't 4e 11 one ship from the
r another all T you s have ' to do is
learn the Navy's patterat for nain-
fng ships. Because in the Navy,
there is somethimj in a name". ,

According to Jame9 M. Stew

WKat are some of the things live
stock farmers can do to offset a
decline' . prfeettj' r V-Vl i. " .S- -Fanmers

as bad as if this work ls done
later and, as a result, will prob-
bably come out heavier and a bet
