Naval expansion and aircraft progress under heightened urgency
The report urges expanding naval power despite strained industrial resources to fulfill a faster program. It notes Admiral Benson’s reorganized operations, slow naval aircraft progress, and plans for a new flying service. Seventeen planes are in service with sixty ordered, plus foreign-made models. The battleship backbone is affirmed, with battleship gun calibers rising to 16 inch 50 caliber, and new ships to feature the most powerful feasible batteries. Enlistment efforts face a 26,006-man target, with only 2,524 recruited, relying on education benefits to attract recruits and cautioning against equating law passage with on-board service.
