...bases near the Philippines are open to the kind of amphibious warfare-land, sea and air attack-that the U.S. Navy has long discussed. Flanking her southward march on the right is Hong Kong, a better-equipped base than the Philippines' Cavite. Ahead of her lie Singapore, the stout secondary bases at Surabaya, Darwin and Amboina.

Besides modern armament (including ten torpedo tubes, five 5-inch guns), the Kearny has the maximum in destroyer protection. Highly compartmented so that damage can be localized, she also has a stout double bottom to cut down torpedo damage to her inner skin...
