Mobilization Review Finds Mixed US Fleet Strength
The article notes a broad mobilization with the Pacific fleet at Los Angeles and Atlantic forces on the North River reviewed by the Secretary of the Navy. It lists over a hundred vessels including six dreadnoughts and eighteen battleships, but warns the fleet is a mix of aging and modern ships with insufficient destroyers, tank ships, and coal capacity. Congress bears responsibility for the navy’s material gaps while overall morale and gunnery are high and the fleet demonstrates strong engine-room efficiency.
