Navy's Real Head Crowninshield Controls Navy Bureau
Rear Admiral Arent Crowninshield, chief of the Navy Bureau of Navigation, looms as a key witness in the court of inquiry into Admiral Schley's conduct in the Spanish American War. Crowninshield, born 1843, has risen from lieutenant in 1881 to longtime power behind the fleet, guiding ship movements and issuing service orders from the vital navigation bureau. His blunt, forthright manner contrasts with his influence, as he stands near the secretary in authority over ships crews and naval policy.
