Report on the X 915 As shown through Grouper's orders dated April 1, 1952, I was detached from the temporary duty with Naval Defense Command in Washington and reported to land those fields for immediate transportation to New Haven, Connecticut.

And there I was directed to proceed without delay to Naval Base Charlie where I was to report to Admiral Ariel Corr other Commandments. After a routine flight I landed with New Haven, Connecticut, and at 1815 I reported with orders to the Office of Admiral Corr other.

Yes sir. Reporting to do this sir. Police are down commandant. Thank you sir. Did I? No thank you Edmond. Commander Richard, what do you know about Project Sailfish? Tomics big boat of submarines sir. Operised by the Secretary of Defense, they gone May 1949 designated experimental vessel X-915.

Cost about 50 million dollars. What about the timetable? I believe the first atomic sub-reschedule for test runs in May of 1953. You've been reading the newspaper and the file on the bureau, sir. Suppose I told you both in ships and the daily papers are wrong.

Wrong? Deliberately wrong. Oh, I see. But since this base was activated command, our world conditions have changed. The Navy is no longer satisfied with the eight-hour day of the forty-hour week. For this reason, we've been on a round-of-clock basis for almost six months.
