A seagoing aerial fleet, enabling long distance independent operation, is now a permanent component of the U S Navy following spring maneuvers off Cuba. The setup included three carrier groups with self contained propulsion, four fast supporting aircraft, and the U 8 class mother ship, marking a historic naval innovation.
Last spring six flying boats ordered to Cuban waters departed from the roadstead aboard the Shawmont. They reached Guantanamo Bay after 82 hours and 1,500 miles with two fuel stops along the Atlantic coast. The maneuvers focused on cooperative attack with the submarine fleet, locating the enemy and relaying position and speed until the strike. The aerial fleet operated self-sufficiently, communicating only by radio with the Shawmont, supplying itself and reporting through the vessel's commander.
