U-51 In Dry Dock With Only 12 Bodies Dead Soldiers
U. S. NAVY WILL REFIT SUBMA.
RINE AT SMALL COST FOR
SERVICE AGAIN.
NEW YORK, July B—Divers who
entered the battered hulk of the sub
marine, S-51, today reported that
there were about twelve bodies in
side the ship.
If the 'divers estimate is correct
it means that the bodies of thirteen
sailors were washed from the hulk
iwhile it lay on the ocean bed, off
Block Island, after being sunk by the
City of Rome last September, and
wili probably never be recovered.
Pulled Into Dry Dock
NEW YORK, July B—(#)—Witr
seaweed and water pouring from
gaping holes in her forward com
partments, the submarine, S-51, was
pulled into the dry dock in the navy‘
yard at Brooklyn today. J
Navy officers, after examination
announced that it required six hours
to pump out the water and remove
the debris acéumulated during the
nine months stay under sea.
Search fo the bodies of the twenty
five sailors not accounted for after
the craft was rammed and sunk last
September by the Savannah line
steamer City of Rome, will be made
tomorrow, Lieutenant Commander
Young, aid to the commandant of
the navy yard, said.
Will Refit Vessel
Refitting of the submarine can be
one at an estimated cost of two hun
dred thousand dollars, Commandery
Ellsberg said. The subersible origina!
ly cost two million five hundred
thousand dollars and it would cost
three million to replace her.
“The navy was not guided oslely
by sentimental reasons in raising the
boat. We could have brought up what
ever bodies were inside her while she
was on the bottom. But to do that we
would have been forced to cut open
the sides of the vessel which we did
not wish to do.” }
