Admiral Sims Testimony Blames Navy for Delayed Allied Aid
Rear Admiral Sims told the Senate committee that after being sent to England in March 1917 the Navy Department failed to cooperate and delayed decisive action for ten months. He said American HQ in London received little support and that the department did not align with British recommendations, affecting awards and wartime support to the Allies. The row centers on mismanagement and late action before U.S. forces deployed in France.
