Exultation is evident throughout the navy as word spreads of the crushing defeat handed the Japanese navy by the Pacific fleet.

But with it all there is a of caution, from Navy Secretary Por- restfll himself, who said last night that despite blasting of "30-odd Japanese warships" the enemy still has a sizeable fleet. Unofficial figures show that this fleet may total as many as 175 warships of all types, excluding submarines, and Forrestal says formally: "Many remaining sizeable fleet in afloat, more or less seriously damaged. As we know from our own experienced crippled vessels may be able to limp to port, undergo repairs and come out and fight again Therefore, although the temporary damage which we have inflicted upon the Japanese navy is heavy, they may be able eventually to repair a part of that damage." Nine Ships Sunk Partial reports from the battle- in which Forrestal says American forces are pursuing the enemy fleet nine ships as sunk, and at least 17 others damaged. Listed as sunk or probably sunk are four battleships, five cruisers, two aircraft carriers and three destroyers. Regardless of the final' count, there seems to be agreement that the Japanese fleet is crippled and never again can hope for any ment of American small naval unite.

U. S. Strength Outstanding as an example of the confidence of high naval officers in the strength and power of the fleet is the release for the first time of resumes of battle history of 103 major and the naming of their commanding officers and oceans in which they operated as of the middle of August. These resumes show that at least 16 battleships and 37 cruisers are on Pacific duty, and at least tour battleships and 10 cruisers were In the Atlantic areas at the time of the Invasion of Southern France.

Also the Navy disclosed for the first time by name, the commission- Ing of two big battleships, the Wisconsin and Missouri, and two battle cruisers. It also said a new type, of ship described unofficially as "pocket battleships," and eight cruisers have been commissioned. Throughout the nation today celebrations of all types were held to commemorate the date in 1875 when the Continental Congress first received legislation creating an independent fleet. The anual celebration of Navy day also is a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, whose birthday was October 27. He is credited widely with being the father of the modern navy; in he sent the fleet on a world tour to display American nava might.
