Once out of the Bering Sea they radioed CNO office and
were told to proceed to Pearl Harbor.
Ten days ago I worked out with Captain Aurand and the
Navy Department a release relieving the Nautilus of
the scheduled Arctic exploration with the Skate in
August and announcing that the Navy was sending the
Nautilus to Pearl Harbor for a month to engage in
indoctrination procedures for our submarine fleet at
our Pacific Headquarters at Pearl Harbor. This went
off all right and the Nautilus proceeded to Pearl. Com-
mander Anderson flew back from Pearl to make a report
to CNO and to us here at theWhite House.
The first attempt was by no means a failure since much new
information was discovered about the movement of ice in the
BeringStrait, the Bering Sea and the Chuckhie Sea. The ice
depths of 80 feet were twice those that anyone had any idea of,
and the scientific aspects of this discovery will be very
important on later movements.
Anderson will try again toward the end of July, going through
the Bering Strait and skirting the Alaskan Mainland to Port
Barrow, which will be open at that time of the year. Once
he reaches Port Barrow, he will have clear sailing in deep
water under the ice pack, and will be able to proceed under
the North Pole and continue through to Iceland.
