Roosevelt to seek defense plan for planes submarines and destroyers
President Roosevelt will ask Congress in a special message this week to approve a large aircraft building program and more submarines and destroyers. The plan may add 100 to 200 million dollars to the 1 billion dollar defense budget, prioritizing air and undersea forces and a stronger light fleet. By 1940 the goal is to reach 2,000 naval air planes, with total modern fighting planes near 4,500 when including army air assets. Current naval air strength is uncertain but around 1,200, while destroyers and submarines lag behind rival powers according to the navy secretary’s annual report.
