Daniels Invites Baker to Test Air Naval Fleet Use of Captured Ship
Secretary Daniels proposed to Secretary Baker that the war department participate in experiments to test aircraft effectiveness against major warships. The first test, within 90 days, would use the former German battleship Ostriesland as a target, with Admiral Coontz confirming plans to bomb a large warship in open sea. Mondell urged rapid disarmament steps to avoid bankruptcy and warned the U.S. must lead in arms limits, while Coontz and Daniels warned against cancelling the Navy’s build program before an international agreement is reached.
