| Keywords: indoor 330-PS-583 (USN 707909): Dr. Karl Arnstein, Vice President in Charge of Engineering, Goodyear Aircraft Corporation; Lieutenant Commander V.E. Tieg, USN, Bureau of Aeronautics representative; and T.A. Knowles, Vice President and General Manager, Goodyear Aircraft Corporation, Inspect model of the U.S. Navy’s new N-type airship. – Main caption: As one answer to the threat of enemy submarines, a new type blimp has been developed. The largest non-rigid airship ever built, the N-type is capable of carrying more submarine detection devices, and also flying longer and farther without refueling. Airships, operating with planes and surface ships, have proved very successful in seeking out and tracking submarines. The ability of the blimp is to fly safely at low-altitudes and at slow speeds, coupled with its capability of staying aloft for extended periods of time without refueling, make it an effective component of a hunter-killer team.
