LONDON
(AP)
A
British
naval
yearbook
reports
that
Russia
believed
to
have
no
lower
than
370
submarines
in
service-has
drafted
plans
to
build
1000
speedy
new
subs.
Jane's
Fighting
Ships
said
In
a
new
edition
that
120
of
the
new
craft
are
already
under
construction.
The
sub
fleet
will
include
one
mine-laying
type
with
a
submerged
speed
of
25
knots,
Jane's
said.
The
new
subs
were
reported
being
equipped
with
Oerman-!
developed
Schnorkel
breather
tube,
which
will
permit
them
to
operate
for
indefinite
periods
without
surfacing.
'
Jane's
said
data
from
reliable
sources
indicates
the
Soviet
ship
building
program
also
includes
three
battleships,
20
cruisers
and
120
destroyers.
Again
the
yearbook
"presented
with
reserve"
what
it
termed
persistent
reports
that
the
Soviet
navy
in
recent
years-has
been
building
from
"one
.to
four
battleships
of
a
new
powerful
tyie."
It
said
the
new
battleships
were
reported
to
be
of
42.000
to
45,000
tons,
785
feet
long,
and
carrying
two
batteries
of
guided
missiles
in
addition
to
six
to
nine
10-luch
guns
and
two
dozen
5.5-inch
guns
of
a
new
model.
Jane's
said
the
ships
are
"said
to
be
equipped
with
one
or
two
catapult
towers
for
firing
radio-controlled
aerkil
torpedoes,
also
rocket-firing
apparatus
and
radio-controlled
guns."
Tlie
yearbook
said
the
Russians
are
believed
to
Ifave
rebuilt
the
former
German
aircraft
carrier
Graf
Zeppelin
for
use
as
a
guided
missile
test
ship.
It
said
Hiey
also
have
resurrected
a
1350-ton

the
