Navy's new chief more traditional than Zumwalt
Adm. James L. Holloway III, named by President Nixon to succeed Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt as chief of naval operations, is viewed as more traditional and likely to solidify liberal changes rather than introduce new reforms. A former aviator and Annapolis graduate born February 23, 1922, Holloway rose from vice chief of naval operations to top post, emphasizing a balanced approach between airpower and surface fleet priorities.
