Atlantic Fleet Reorganization Adds Vice Admiral to Double Force
Secretary Daniels ordered a major Atlantic fleet reorganization to match a force expansion to twice normal size. The plan adds Vice Admiral Albert W. Grant to command Force No. 1, with Admiral Mayo remaining in general command and Coffman directing Force No. 2. Grant succeeds submarine forces commander, while Captain S. S. Robison takes his post. The change keeps Sims’s European division intact. The Atlantic fleet now houses all three active vice admirals, with overseas operations not currently planned. A Buenos Aires visit by the American squadron will follow, seen as easing tensions with Argentina.
