Legislative history of 37 U.S.C. 301(a)(2) demonstrates intent by Congress, to encourage volunteers for Navy's nuclear submarine fleet and not to provide officers for entire sub- marine fleet including fleet of conventional submarines. Therefore, submarine duty pay authorized in act may be paid to officers previously qualified in submarines as enlisted members, while attending Submarine Officers' Basic Course or Submarine Officers' Indoctrina- tion Course only if being prepared as prospec- tive crewmembers for Navy's advanced (nuclear powered) submarine fleet. 2. Submarine duty pay authorized in 37 U.S.C. 301(a)(2) may be paid to officers qualified in submarines as enlisted members while attending courses of instruction specifically preparing them for positions of increased responsibility in Navy's advanced submarine fleet, because legislative history demonstrates intent of act was to encourage volunteers from the Navy's conventional submarine fleet for duty in its nuclear submarine fleet by con- tinuing submarine pay while in training to anyone qualified in submarines and already receiving such incentive pay.
