When the first squadron of 110-footers staggered into port at Queenstown after a winter trip across the Atlantic a considerable number of 112 BLUE JACKETS OF 1918 the men — officers as well as jackies — had to be sent to the hospital for seasickness.
" Those boys can't bring a ship across the ocean," remarked some one to an American officer at Plymouth.
" Perhaps they can't," he answered, " but there is a flotilla of thirty-six in the harbor below you that they have just brought in." The great ...percentage of college boys among those who manned " the suicide fleet " was a source of pride to the service. They flocked to it from Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Princeton and from such " fresh w^ater " colleges as Chicago and Michigan.
Trained navy officers said after they had been given opportunity to get their sea-legs, that they rapidly overhauled the graduates of Annapolis in all the technical w^ork of navigating their vessels, while having an initiative and a power to grapple with new and intricate problems which was not mani- fested by graduates of our naval academy.
