Sims Accused Of Withholding Credit For Submarine Sinks
Secretary Daniels testified before the Senate naval committee that Rear-Admiral Sims robbed American destroyer crews of recognition by letting the British Admiralty handle sub battles. He cited limited American credit from 256 attacks, with only 24 credited as successful, and noted only one case where full credit went to an American ship. Daniels defended American efforts and faulted Sims for not protecting U.S. interests.
