SECRET JIB(CAN) 17/61 II CHINA SHIPPING - Boarding Report Chinwangtao, Shanghai, April 1961 1« Reference is made to JIB(CAN) 14/61, (SECRET), pages 1 - 7 , 2» The following information vras received from a reliable marine source in Chemainus, B.C., 19 June, 1961, regarding his visits to Chinwangtao and Shanghai. 3, Source stated that his vessel loaded 6200 LT sugar in Cuba last December for China and he stated that during the period in port he observed ammunition, guns, tanks and motor vehicles being discharged from Soviet ships. Source stated that at this time he could not comment on the types of guns, ammunition and tanks, however the tanks were not large - medium size. They did not appear to be of ultra modern design. 4, Vessel discharged Shanghai but source stated that he could not recall at this time any information that would be of interest during this visit to that port* In March the vessel loaded 6,000 tons wheat in Australia and source again arrived in Shanghai for discharging 5 April and departed 7 April for Australia for additional cargo. On approaching Shanghai a message was received from the ship's agent stating that an obstruction existed 4 miles South by East from the Shanghai lightship and this position was to be avoided. 5, On discharging at Chi Chang West Wharf the grain was discharged using ship's gear and there were two conveyor belts taking the grain into the shed, where it was bagged and loaded unto a smaller, shallow draft LST type of craft. Source stated that this vessel was a war-time American craft. On completion of loading this LST proceeded upriver, possibly to discharge in the inland waterways. At one end of this wharf was a berth for a ferry which was used for crossing the river. 6, Source stated that he was returning to the vessel approximately 2200 6 April and stopped momentarily to observe discharging. He stated that the grain was dumped on a pile in the shed, then bagged, and during the absence of the LST the bags were loaded on railway cars. As soon as he was observed observing this he was advised to return to his ship. Source stated that he complained to the ship's agent that he was not even allowed to observe discharging of his vessel and the agent stated that he would gladly show him the discharging procedure at a later time, however, he made no effort to show source discharging and loading facilities in the shed. 7, Source stated that during his visit to Shanghai he observed 3 Riga and 2 Gordy class destroyers secured at Woosung (see Appendix A ) , No hull numbers were visible. However, he identified the vessels as Riga and Gordy. Continuing upriver source stated that he observed 3 submarines secured to a wharf just up the river from the International Dock (see Appendix B). Source stated that again no hull numbers were visible and due to the distance only the silhouettes were visible. He identified them as "W" class submarines. SECRET �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information SECRET JIB(CAN) 17/61 (Chinwangtao, Shanghai, April 1961) 8* Source stated that he observed moored between 2 buoys an old hull, resembling that of a cruiser, in the process of being broken up. Only 2-3 feet of hull was visible above the water line. He particularly observed the heavy plates of this vessel being dismantled, work was in progress vdth acetylene torches to cut up this heavy steel and source was convinced that it is the hull of an old cruiser. Source stated that the distance between the buoys was approximately 600' and the length of this hull was approximately 500'. The position of this hull was one-quarter mile down river from the International Dock (see Appendix C) off Pai Lien Ching Wharf, just down river from Ping-An dockyard and across from the former French waterworks. 9. The vessel departed Shanghai 7 April for Australia for another cargo, approximately 6400 tons of wheat was loaded and the vessel proceeded to Chinwangtao to discharge. The vessel arrived Chinwangtao 14 May and departed 17 May. Source stated that the draft of his vessel was only 25' hence with this draft no difficulty was experienced coming alongside berth #7 (see Appendix D). Alongside source's vessel was a Hong Eong registered Liberty vessel with a draft of 28'; having just arrived with a cargo of grain from Newcastle, Australia; 10. bn'iapproaohing Chinwangtao gourde was advised not to use the radio or echo sounder* He stated that photography was permitted outside the harbour area, however, due to the varied temperament of the Chinese, no photography vras attempted. 11. Using ship's gear and grabs, grain was discharged directly into open railway cars. No cranes were observed on this berth. Source stated that two railway lines existed on the quay and shunting was possible from one track to the other (see appendix D ) . 12. Source stated that arrival and departure was during the silent hours and although he observed some construction north west of the North Pier, he could not observe the stage of construction. However, all along the open storage areas large star-like cement breakwater blocks were stored. He also stated that three 35004000 tons Chinese vessels were discharging coal at the North Pier. Numerous small craft were observed at the north end of this pier. Source stated that this was not a Naval port and it is probable that the project, possibly a quay, would be completed in one year, although work on it appeared to be sporadic.

China, May 1961 1. The following information was received from a reliable merchant marine source in Vancouver, B.C., on 4 June, 1961, concerning a visit to TSAMKONG. 2. The vessel arrived 14 May with 13,900 LT phosphate from Casa Blanca and discharged 28 May. Ten days of this period were spent at anchorage awaiting a berth. Draft on arrival was 31', however ship lightened to barges to 29' and source stated that it is doubtful whether there is more than 30' alongside the berth (see Appendix B ) . To reach berth from anchorage vessel passed through two buoys. Between these buoys and berth vessel passed a floating barge of about 50-60 tons, flying a red flag with black ball (see Appendix A). Seven electric travelling cranes of 5 to 7 tons were in use on the dock, rotating to a 360° radius. The name visible on these cranes was "GRANZ". 3. Ahead of source's vessel was a Polish vessel, length 350'. This is a new vessel, source could not remember the name, On completion of discharging a sister ship took her place and discharged rice, conveyor belts and enlarged cases which probably contained machinery, Russian letter characteristics were plainly visible on the wooden crates. Ahead of the Polish vessel was a Chinese registered vessel, hull number 163, length about 150', believed formerly the ex-American registered ISLAND CHIEF, This vessel loaded 3,000 tons phosphate discharged from source's vessel, possibly for trans-shipment. Due to the shallow draft of this vessel it was possible she could discharge in inland waterways. Source confirmed her capacity as 3,000 tons as he had just discharged that amount that was loaded. 4. Astern source's vessel was a Hong Kong British registered Liberty (Fort ship) vessel on a 2-year charter transporting "high grade" ore from Hainan Island to Tsamkong. Source stated that this vessel no doubt would be known to BI0 ; Hong Kongc Astern of this vessel was an Italian registered Liberty vessel, also discharging phosphate believed to be from Casa Blanca. 5. Source was of the opinion that a naval base was located in the vicinity of Nivet Point. Minesweepers, approximately 130* in length, were observed almost daily. When these vessels rounded Marques Point they would communicate by light to a position in the vicinity of Nivet Point. During the daylight hours several of these small minesweepers, resembling the MSC(0) type of minesweeper, were observed at anchor in the river near Nivet Point. Due to the distance accurate information as to their exact position and type could not be obtained. SECR E T 000962 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a 1'inforrt.ation SECRET JIB(CAN) 9 17/61 (Tsamkong Harbour Report) 6. During the period in port a Rumanian tanker came alongside and discharged fuel (see Appendix A). Source could, not identify this vessel but he thought that the first 4 letters of the name commenced TAER , On completion of discharging the vessel departed and a Greek tanker secured and commenced discharging * Ten tanks were observed comprising the first row of several storage tanks, source could not see the number of tanks behind this first row. Source estimated that the capacity of the fuel storage tanks was sufficient to carry at least 25,000 tons of bunker fuel, that was the estimated amount discharged by the Rumanian and the Greek tankers and no fuel w?s observed being pumped out of these tanks during the period. Source is of the opinion that fuel could not be pumped to any position further back from this position and would probably have to be discharged again to seaward, 7. Source stated that there vras very little new construction and he commented that the old Catholic Church vras still there. The Cross had been removed and the building vras now being used for secular purposes. 8. No cargo was observed going into the sheds (Appendix B ) , the iron ore, the phosphate, the rice and general cargo being discharged from ships alongside was being stacked on the quay or being loaded into railway cars for trans-shipment. Source stated that he believed these sheds, shown as separated on BA 3486, are joined* 9i The area shown to be dry at low water on BA chart 3486 (Appendix A) is believed by source to have been dredged and he stated that at no time was dry land noted in this area, 10. A signal station (Appendix A) was in this area and when a storm came up during the period in berth a typhoon warning vras indicated - the signals were as per Pilot Book (3 white lights typhoon warning). 11. Source stated that the position of the wharf as shown on BA 3486 is actually 2° eastward. 12. Source stated that the vessel communicated as to the position of Pilot Station and the position given to him was as shown as "PILOTS" on the chart. The station hovrever is somewhere on the north end of Nao-Chou-Tao Island. 13. Source had to wait until high spring tide before he could pass over the bar (BA 3349). He estimated that the depth of the water over this bar at high spring tide was 36 ! , he estimated his vessel was drawing 31-31*6'. 14. Two tugs were available. These were small but quite powerful and were used to assist all vessels in docking. The freighters would come alongside and then would be pushed broadside to the berth. Fresh water was available on the dock and source stated that he observed a Chinese vessel being bunkered from a barge, A limited quantity of fresh provisions was available.

The two s e c u r i t y guards had khaki t o p s , blue bottoms, and side arms and the four search crew members were dressed in blue dungaree c o v e r a l l s . The search conducted was only cursory and none of the s h i p ' s stores were sealed. 17. The use of cameras, radar and fathometer was prohibited while in port although domestic radio was allowed, and none of the equipment was sealed, 18. Foreign seamen are issued with the Seaman book (with photo) and pass by the Chinese and a r e asked i f they are taking any foreign money ashore. These are in Chinese except for Seaman's book numbers. Pass checking point i s located at the dock g a t e . No curfew i s in force and although Communist propaganda publications were available in the Seamen's Clubs no efforts were made to indoctrinate v i s i t i n g seamen or obtain information from them. No p o l i t i c a l officers or secret police personnel were evident at these clubs, and no photographs of seamen were taken.

Further to reports on rationing in D R W which appeared in JIB(CAN) 10/6l pp U-6, and JIB(CAN) lE/6l pp hO-Ul, the following information may be of interest, 2. Yov will recall that the rationing system, x*iich embraces rice, sugar, cloth and meat initially provided reasonable quantities of these commodities. Recently, however, the meat ration has been reduced in successive stages from 700 to 5>00 to 300 grams until finally on May 15* 196l, the amount of meat per adult per month was limited to 150 grams. This is dirtributed in the following way: 1st five days, 10 grams of meat per dayj 2nd five days, 10 grams of oil per dayj 3rd five days, 10 grams of meat per dayj Uth five days, 10 grams of fat per dayj the cycle is then repeated, 3. Rationing of rice continues as before at 12 kilos per month per adult in Hanoi, but the monthly allotment to the peasants in the countryside is only 7 kilos. This limited amount of paddy is especially hard on the countryfolk because not only do they require considerable food in order to sustain their manual labour but they do not have the opportunity to eat one meal a day in a state restaurant as many city dwellers do to supplement their rice and meat rations, U# The results of the reduced supplies of food have been to drive up other food prices, create a flourishing black market, cancel political meetings and possibly lead to food ri«ts, (1) The inability to obtain meat has forced further reliance »n chicken whose price is now about 5> dongs a kilo (or 60£ a1lb.) This is a substantial increase over previous prices and is very high even by Canadian standards for unviscerated fowl, (2) The black market in Hanoi which has always existed, is now flourishing with regualr hours from 7 p.m. to h or £ a.m. It is located adjacent to the main market and is supplied by a peasantry which comes into town daily to sell what has illegally been withheld. The authorities are evidently fully aware of the black market, but they permit it to function as a minor outlet to people's dissatisfaction and need, (3) The government, recognising the dangers of giving the local citizens an opportunity to complain about the food shortage, has cancelled all political meetings in the city districts. Hitherto, these were held at least twice a week.

My source of information here either knows nothing about such outbreaks or does not wish to speak of them. His theory on the sullen and non-active opposition to the regime is that the Vietnamese have learned well the lessons of Hungary, Tibet and more recently - Cuba. I have no • evidence to show that opposition is so extensive as to be discussed in these extreme terms.

On consulting his chart, source discovered the position given would place his vessel only 60 yards frim a very rocky shoreline, and in his opinion too close to shore to provide proper safety for a heavily laden ship of 10,000 tons. Source elected to manoeuvre his vessel up and down the coast during the night and at dawn made for SARANDE BAY where he embarked the pilot and a search party. 3, According to source, Admiralty chart no, 206 shows the anchorage area as 5 cable further to the south than the position given officially by the signal station. A red flashing buoy is located approx. 300 yards south of PUNTA FERRUCCIO. The signal station is comprised of one powerful Aldis lamp, one white flashing navigation light and one small hut. The station was manned by military personnel. Discharging Ports 4, Though the cargo was destined for DURAZZO, source was instructed to call at SARANDE BAY to lighten his vessel to a draft of 22'00" which is the maximum for vessels entering DURAZZO harbour. Idle Time at Sarande 5, From 6-12 May, t h e vessel remained at anchor 200 yards off the western j e t t y . Reason for the delay was caused by two other merchant v e s s e l s , i . e . SS PRAOTIS and SS SUERTE who were engaged in discharging part cargo before proceeding to DURAZZO, Source's vessel worked from 12-17 May, during which time a t o t a l of 3,500 tons were discharged.

Discharging facilities were described as very poor. Except for the wood constructed Western and Eastern jetties vhich are suitable for small coastal vessels only, no other jetties are in existence. The grain was transferred at anchorage to the Albanian Merchant shipsfllEROJKASTRIOTIS and PRATIZAN, both of approx, 3,000 tons deadweight. Visiting merchant vessels are required to use their own derricks, but are supplied locally with steel buckets into which the grain is shovelled and thus transferred to the ship alongside. This method is tedious and slow. Labour Force 7. Eighty percent of the stevedores are women. Shore Leave 8. No shore leave was granted except for the Master who was required to go ashore on ships business. On all occasions the Master was conducted from ship to shore by the Steamship Agent, and was met on the boat harbour jetty by an armed sentry, who in turn escorted them to a small office located next to the customs warehouse at the foot of the boat harbour where an officer issued the Master with a pass. In addition to the Agent, an elderly man who claimed to have lived 15 years in the United States was assigned to assist him in the capacity of interpreter. Source stated that he was unable to shake off his companions and therefore had to limit his tours ashore to the Agent's office and two visits to the State Bank. Both establishments were only minutes' walk from the jetty. The local government building is fairly large and quite imposing compared to the few buildings he had observed in the vicinity. Source was informed that the building was closed and that it was only used for visiting dignitaries. Radar Stations 9. No radar stations were visible in the area. Aircraft 10. No aircraft of any type were observed. Description of Naval Sighting 11. W. 0600q. 6 May, 1961.

The leave was suddenly stopped on the 25 May with no explanation offered. However, it was generally suspected that the men had mixed with East German tourists residing in a hotel situated at the DURAZZO beach area.

The main purpose of the trip was to look for* evidence of missile activity in the areas of Kandalashka, Chupa and Murmansk. A secondary purpose was to observe targets of opportunity along the route and check selected garrison areas and JIB targets. Surveillance 3. Surveillance vras continuous, but discreet and not obstructive. During the rail portion of the journey the travellers had a two passenger compartment to themselves. Results 4... A series of very severe thunderstorms in the Leningrad area made the travellers decide not to visit Petrodvorets and in fact interfered with sight seeing in Leningrad, 5. Heavy mist limited observation from KEM' North on the rail trip in many places to between 150 feet and 300 yards. Cloud prevented observation during the northern part of the air flight, 6..

A view of ROSTA can be had in the distance from this point, but it is too far away to see anything interesting. The Naval Port is NOT visible. Serial JIB Serial Location 75 Observation About 100 yards East of the cemetery is a fenced compound with four or five low frame buildings. An armed sentry vras patrolling between the buildings. Because of the folds in the ground only part of this compound could be seen from the taxi, however it is estimated to be about 400 feet square. There were 4 FIRECANS with trailers parked in a corner of the compound. 76 111 Behind No 29 KOL'SKOYE SHOSSE' there is a naval installation, Several military Zil trucks were parked in this compound but too far away to read the vehicle numbers. A vehicle with naval personnel in it was seen to enter this area. 77 101 The barracks area on KOL'SKOYE SHOSSE South of P0LYARNAYA PRAVDA had many civilians walking about in the Northern section. There is a guard room at the main gate but the insignia of the guards could not be seen. An MT and an Arty officer came out of the gate. Four vehicles in the H5-xx-xx series came out. Two of them were Gaz 69sp numbers H5-36-09 and H5-36-13. There is a MERCURY GRASS antennae on what appears to be the HQ building. In one corner in a fenced compound were about 30 Zil 150 trucks. NO radio or radar vans or antennae were seen. 78 49 The RAYSOVET and GORSOVET are located on LENINA between PROFSOYUZA and K MARKSA.

Receivers have been identified as covering the band from 14 kc/s to 30 mc/s by the observer, and as type PRV, one covering the range from 1.5 to 25 mc/s, the second covering the range from 12 kc/s to 25 mc/s. The observer, a Canadian has correctly identified the PRV and the range.coverage as 12 kc/s to 25 mc/s, and further confirms this observation by stating that the sets were similar. DNI Canada states firmly that these equipments are PRV types and the range is definitely 12 kc/s to 25 mc/s. These two sets are employed as main and H/F receivers, and being similar can be employed as backup to each other as required. Operators on various ships have so stated their use, and their coverage, which has been confirmed by competent observers on numerous occasions. From at least ten reports, it is obvious that the majority of Soviet merchant and fishing vessels are equipped with these receivers. 4. The Canadian observer identified a tape recorder of good construction. Such equipment is employed for its designed purpose, and also to pipe recordings to the crew over the entertainment broadcast system. This latter system is, in the main, common to Soviet ships visited, Radio operators of ships do not hesitate to identify such equipment and its general uses. 5, The TIKSI has been referred to previously in JIB(CAN) 6/61 and JIB(CAN) 14/61, B.

On March 22, an attempt was made to inspect the radio station at United Grain Dock. This vessel has the tightest security system yet encountered and after going through the usual difflculties source was informed that the Master, Chief Officer and Radio Officer were all ashore, It was stated they would not return until at least 10 p.m., which although possible, is considered to be highly improbable, Source informed Second Officer, who was the only one left aboard according to his statement, that a return visit would be made the following day.

On March 23, the ship was located at LaPointe Pier and once again the usual routine was gone through, but this time the Master was available. He speaks English, appeared friendly but of course wanted all the usual information as to why an inspection was required. Again source was informed that the Radio Officer was not on board but that the Chief Officer would accompany me to the Radio Room. During his inspection of the equipment, a very close watch vras kept on him by the Chief Officer and the Master came in and out several times during the inspection. 9.

On the bridge, a radiotelephone transceiver was located and this uses a cage antenna which runs from the stack aft. There was no Indication as to frequency coverage; course would judge it to be medium frequency- also on the bridge vras radar BES 140 #8241 (1954), At this time the Master again appeared;.source asked where the second radar set was located. He seemed rather put out about this; source explained that he had two radar antennas and suggested the second set was probably in the Chart Room with the direction finder. This proved to be the case and radar BES 228 #8241 (1954) was found installed with direction finder SRP 5 #5402 (1958), last calibrated Fray 17/60. DNI Comments 12. The usual procedure in any Soviet ship visited appears to be to make things as difficult as possible for government officials engaged on their duties. One of the best approaches has been to go aboard, and walk in the general direction of the radio office, stating the requirement in English and by gestures. This usually results in the observer being taken to the Captain's cabin or day room where the requirement is stated in such a fashion that all concerned get the general impression that you are helping them out by ensuring their equipment is in working order, and meets the standard required by the Canadian government. In ships visited for the second time, inspections are much easier, and the welcome considerably warmer. Forcing the issue only results in counter aggression, with intelligence suffering from a lack of cooperation on both sides. When we realize, in the first instance, that Soviet ships are subjected to rigid inspections at home and would consider such inspections mandatory in foreign ports (if legally covered by International agreements), we can approach the problem on a much better footing than heretofore.

A quick reply resulted in all serial numbers, makes and dates of construction being completely copied down in the ship concerned. 13. In ALEXANDER NEVSKY the observer specifies 2 identical receivers were carried, type Vopna number 0103 and 0243 constructed 1959, and tuning from 12 kc/s to 25 mc/s. 14. Typewriters are encountered in many ships visited, and have either a Russian or English keyboard; they are by no means unusual, and may be personal equipment for the convenience of the owner. It is interesting and now a proven fact, that Soviet merchant ship operators employ hand written reception for CW and voice communications. It is also known that some modern merchant vessels employ transmitter heads, but the fitting of such equipments does not appear excessive and must await further information regarding extension of fitting and efficiency of the equipment. 15. ALEXANDER NEVSKY has been referred to previously in JIB (CAN) 14/61. C. Freighter USSURIJSK (UYIE). 5 April 61 16. Deck watch called Deck Officer, neither of whom could or wished to speak English.

A second person, not a deck officer, was with him and"appeared to be a person with authority. Both could speak English,, 17. The Master gave source's identification a thorough reading and asked what was wanted. Source's standard answer re radio inspection brought an unusual response and the Master asked "What else?" Source thought it best to keep on the track and replied "Only radio equipment." 18. The second person then said in Russian to the Master that the Chief Officer should be called. On the appearance of the Chief Officer after a wjfit of approximately fifteen minutes, the Second Radio Officer was called. 19. The Master with his companion, -source, Chief Officer and Radio Officer, all went to the radio room and source inspected with them literally breathing down his neck. The Sadio Officer stood in such position that he could read what was written down but never uttered a word the whole time.

Ordinarily this might be because he is engaged, but it is peculiar that the length of time of the wait is always approximately the same. Furthermore, the Radio Officer's appearance is generally 5 minutes or so behind the Chief Officer. 24. The second fact which attracts attention is that the Radio Room door is not locked when the party arrives there and is sometimes open. This might indicate that the room has been prepared for inspection. In all the ships visited, there has been only one case where any paper or document was observed and this was a Safety Radio Telegraphy Certificate, which was framed and on the bulkhead. 25. Sleeping quarters are separate and it appears very odd that there are no signs of logs, International Lists or other usual clutter with which Radio Offices surround themselves. 26. Attempts have been made to ascertain whether or not any equipment has been removed temporarily, such as might be shown by loose leads, disconnected plugs or cables, etc., but no such evidence has been observed.

DNI Canada agrees generally with observers, in that many Soviet seamen encountered do speak English; however their reasons for not employing English are considered to be identical with any national met, who does not possess a good command of the other language. That is, a person xvill be reluctant-to. employ a tongue he is not too conversant with for fear of being embarrassed. Some students of English on the obher hand are only too willing to "talk your ear off" with broken English cr.d gestures as well as employing morse code between observers and radio operators. The latter idea overcomes all language barriers, and with the employment of Q, signals, rapid conversations can and have been conducted to the benefit of both parties. Political officers can be spotted quite easily, and here conversations is stilted and/or nonexistent. 28, It is an interesting phenomenum that the normal clutter of operating signals and other operating paraphenalia are usually absent from radio office desks„ However, it has been found that questions regarding operations, including ham operations will result in a convenient drawer being opened in the radio office desk, and the clutter of all operators' material will be found overflowing the drawer. In many ships several drawers will be found to contain instructional pamphlets on equipment, which operators are only too happy to illustrate to observers. This only facilitates the exchange of technical and operational terms and jargon, resulting in firm intelligence respecting the equipments fitted, including layput of leads, capability of equipments,' power supplies, antennae employed and frequency coverage of equipments. D, Freighter EMELIAN PUGACHEV (UUMG), 17 April 1961 29, Facing forward, the equipment from left to right is A, B, C and D, On the right hand side of the operator are items E, F, G and H, These letters refer to the following equipment: A B C D E F G H - HF transmitter Blesna KB M 0002 1957 Long Wave/Short Wave receiver PRV 10874 " " " " " PRV 10433 Medium Wave transmitter Blesna CB 0278 1958 Auto-Alarm "CCCP" 272 1958 Emergency receiver 380 - 560 kc/s Emergency transmitter ASP 2-0-05 722 1958 McKay HF transmitter type 106B, This transmitter vras stated out of order and never used.

The Chart Room is located on the starboard side of the ship and directly opposite on the port side is another room in which a DON radar is installed. 31. In the wheelhouse just outside the door of this latter room is a UHF radio-telephone. This is used for harbour control and has an approximate useful distance of 40 - 50 miles. 32, Next to the Radio Room is a small room containing a radiophone sound system. A tape recorder is also installed and connected to the Sound System.

This inspection was ^iade at, 9:10 a.m. and whether or not this accounts for .tne friendly atmosphere is a matter of conjecture. Source did not hefcitata to say that this was the most friendly visit yet made. The Watch Officer at the gangplank conducted himimmediately to the Chief Radio Officer, who has a very comfortable cabin and who was reading a Vancouver paper. The Radio Officer asked if the Captain had been informed and on being answered in the negative, he said it would be necessary, not as far as a Radio Inspector vras concerned, but it was his duty to" report the visit. He then sent the Second Radio Officer and instead of source being asked as usual to accompany the guide to the Captain, the Captain and Chief Officer came to the Radio Officer's cabin to see him This is the first time such an event has occurred, All were very friendly, While a close watch was kept in the Radio Room, there was none of the usual "breathing down the neck". In fact, he was actually left alone in the Chart Room while the'Radio Officer opened the door of the Radar Room, on the port side, . (The usual depth sounders are in the Chart Room.) 34. On going ashore it was noted a she ^e going party consisting of 8 men was leaving the ship, most;>of whom were equipped with very good cameras. DNI Comments 35. It is considered that the observer who boarded this ship, wrongly identified the medium frequency voice set in the wheelhouse as UH/F equipment, A voice set covering the band from 2 to 3 mc/s can usually be found in this position. It is employed as this observer states but uses battery power ,5 watt output and working to a maximum range of 10 miles off a whip antenna. At this date, no Soviet vessel, warship or merchant has been definitely proved to be equipped with anything higher than VH/F equipment. It may well be that warships and submarines are equipped with UH/F gear, but this must await firm intelligence. DNI Canada, is however, convinced that coding of SQUARE HEAD for data type transmissions and possibly pulsed intelligence is carried on by the Soviet for directional communications in the band from 500 to 700 mc/s or thereabouts. It is also considered very possible that TV type arrays could be employed for directional communications in the band of the array, which would be in the general area of 60 to 80 mc/s. 36. IQ about fifty percent of visits, it has been found that a friendly atmosphere exists. Generally, in the other fifty percent, a friendly atmosphere results from an offer of small cigars or cigarettes. Captains of ships can and have been sluffed off, with an approach at lunch time, and remarks such as "It's really not necessary for you to bother coming up, observing your lunch may get cold, and we only wish to ensure your gear is operating satisfactorily". Approaches to ships can also be timed advantageously by the observer, and some of the best reports have been obtained when many officers were away from the ship; On other occasions, the Captain has stayed and interpreted for more than an hour.
