Lansdowne Plans Shenandoah Arctic Search Mission
Commander Lansdowne submits a detailed plan to Secretary Wilbur outlining operation of the Shenandoah and Los Angeles in case the navy is sent to search for Roald Amundsen. The proposal centers on Spitsbergen as a base with the Patoka tender and a Lakehurst to Spitsbergen route totaling about 4,600 miles, with 17 days for the Patoka to reach Spitzbergen. Wilbur is unlikely to order Arctic deployment except under unusual circumstances due to the remote chance of success and doubts about dirigible feasibility in the Arctic.
