Mosquito Fleet Organized to Defend U S Coasts
The United States forms an auxiliary naval reserve of privately owned motorboats and yachts totaling about 25 000 vessels. Under the Waterway League of New York and a national drive, owners will enroll with divisions by state to serve as scouts, patrols, mine layers, and Red Cross transports. Commodore J Stuart Blackton leads the motorboat division with plans for drills, maneuvers, and rapid deployment upon war declaration.
