SUBMARINE DUTY COMPLETED BY ENLISTED PERSONNEL ORDERED TO NEW LONDON FOR ASSIGNMENT TO NEW CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

A sample of enlisted men returned for assignment to New Construction submarines was canvassed in order to determine the typical duty completed. For this canvass a questionnaire was developed which is also useful in clinical evaluations of the submarine experiences of an individual. The survey confirms the hypothesis that the patrols completed by an individual differ radically from those completed by another in numbers, duration, and severity of attacks experienced. Data for the canvassed population on numbers of patrols completed, length of service, ages, and frequency of state-side assignments are reported. It is noted that the Navy School backgrounds differ markedly. A considerable proportion were never examined or trained at New London, for example. The differences in selection and training backgrounds, in the light of the differences in submarine experience, suggest the value of complete examinations to ensure that all personnel satisfy minimum standards.
