Navy Seeks Congressional Authorization for Expanded Fleet
The Navy plans to seek two resolutions from Congress to build to treaty strength by 1939 and replace aging ships. The program would reach about 102 ships by that year, with two heavy destroyers, 12 destroyers, two cruisers with eight inch guns, and six cruisers with six inch guns planned for the next year.

Navy plans to modernize fleet and shift shipbuilding pace
The program estimates a fleet of roughly 616 units including aircraft and equipment, with enlisted strength rising from 79,200 to about 200,000 and marine strength from 15,200 to 20,000. With 238 million from public works and 46 million in regular funds, 54 ships are under construction or contracted. The aim is steadier production, about 20 ships annually after 1939, down from past surges, and to adjust to future arms treaty tonnage limits. The U S fleet remains 207,030 tons below London treaty authorization while Britain and Japan have different standings.
