An address by Rear Adm. Na- than Sonenshein, past president of the American Society of Naval

Engineers and currently Director of the Defense Energy Task Group, highlighted this season's second regular meeting of the ASNE Tide- water Chapter.

His timely discussion of the De- partment of Defense's response to the energy crisis in terms of fuel conservation measures and investi- gations of alternate fuel sources was heard by a record turnout of members and their guests.

Admiral Sonenshein, in citing some of the immediate effects of the fuel shortage, said that some military buildings may do without adequate heat this winter, and many training operations will be shortened or eliminated. He point- ed out that while the DOD con- sumes only 2.4 percent of all the energy used in America, it is par- ticularly sensitive to petroleum shortages due to the high jet fuel demands of military aircraft.

Discussing possible oil substi- tutes, he said that nuclear powered planes, while technically feasible, are not practicable in the near fu- ture, and that hydrogen would ap- pear a more likely alternate energy source for aircraft.

Concluding his remarks, he em- phasized that our nation's military readiness would not be compro- mised by the energy crisis.

The interest shown Admiral So- nenshein's remarks was evidenced by a lively question and answer period following his address, and his excellent presentation will un- doubtedly prove this meeting the outstanding one of the Tidewater

Chapter's 1973-74 season.
