Naval officers testify to wartime manpower shortages
Washington March 26 Two naval officers Rear Admiral CG P Plunkett and Captain J K Taussig told a senate committee that Secretary Daniels refused to boost personnel before entry and the navy suppressed shortage reports. They said Dewey board recommendations for larger enlisted strength were rejected and gunnery suffered from crew shortages. Plunkett noted ships in April 1917 were capable but hampered by manpower gaps. He added that if Germany had fought at sea US indemnities might have been due in 1944 and recalled German gunnery at Jutland.
