the
possibility
large area of the danger area was not justified froma purely hazard point
of view but was based onan operational consideration to keep all ship
traffic far froma hazardous area and allow the Commander to fire at will.
A danger area for Jarvis Island would be a 250 by 400 mile rectangle with
Jarvis located in the northwest quadrant.
Ogle felt that Jarvis Island was to
near to the northern and western limits of the danger area and it was agreed
that the danger area could be moved west to bring Jarvis 100 miles within
the border rather than only 75.
Just as for Teak and Orange, the Johnston
Island danger area would provide protection on the surface for personnel
up to 400 nautical miles and at altitude out to 700 nautical miles.
Project 201
was discussed and it was ascertained that its operating area was a rectangle
with Johnston as the center and comprising 1500 miles in an east-west direction
and 1200 miles in an north-south direction; it was anticipated that Project 201
would give way to our operations and thus this would not be a problem.
The
remainder of the meeting consisted of discussions centering.around questions..
that were posed to Bill Ogle.
As for the shipborne array, the need to identify
requirements for the various types of ships was brought forth, the need for
various technical personnel to be able to examine these ships as soonas possible
(possibly the next week) was noted,
the need date for ships on the west coast
