Lack of Officers Hurts Atlantic Fleet’s West Indies Duty
Admiral Fletcher told the House Naval Committee that only fifteen of twenty one battleships in the Atlantic fleet are active in West Indian waters. Three more are crippled for lack of officers and men, while three await or undergo repairs. The active ships lack eight to seventeen officers and about 1 000 enlisted specialists, though total personnel exceed regulations by 109. He said the fleet would need at least 5 000 more personnel overall to field full squadrons. The shortage would not cripplingly affect immediate combat if pressed.
