Navy plans stand-by postwar fleet for quick action
The Navy envisions a standing standby fleet with auxiliaries kept in near perfect condition and ready to sail after crews are onboard. Ships kept inactive would hold machinery, guns, and stores while ammunition is limited to avoid anchorage danger. The program centers on the AVC-1 catapult ship and the North Star, experiments to reduce reliance on large naval depots and to battle rust, mildew, and decay with new anti corrosion and drying systems.
