provide for four cornered defense. The Admiralty continues
to stress the need f'er more end more short range anti-aircraft 
guns. Because of the seriousness cf the threat of long range 
German bombers to British shipping, and the scarcity of the type 
of AA gun needed, it is suggested that sericus consideration be 
given by us to the possibility of tentative plans to supplement
the destroyers and patrol planes of our support force with carriers
to meet the immediete dangerous situation.
