Navy Preparedness Backed by Rear Admiral Fullam
Rear Admiral William F. Fullam issued a statement defending his duty to the Navy amid charges by Rear Admiral Benton C. Decker in which he and Admiral Sims are named. Fullam testified before the Senate committee that the Navy was unprepared in organization, personnel, and material at entry into World War I and that the unpreparedness was not the fault of officers or sailors. He cited documented evidence and noted a commission appointed by President Roosevelt on department reorganization.
