Admirals Differ Over Navy Strength in Australia
In Sydney on Wednesday Admiral J T Ward of the US Anti-Submarine Warfare Force and Rear-Admiral G C Oldham debated the state of the Royal Australian Navy. Oldham called the RAN the Cinderella of the services, underarmed and underfunded, while Ward urged modernization and better equipment. Hayward noted parity with Indonesia in numbers but praised Australia’s unit strength, though he warned about Navy conditions despite arriving to find the service in excellent condition.
