Navy Shipping Group Fighting Over Program
A House Naval Committee report details a behind the scenes struggle between the navy department and the war shipping administration over the auxiliary ship program. It urges building 1,000,000 tons of vessels and warns policy changes could render the navy a pensioner of the shipping administration. The navy seeks authorization to build. the budget bureau declined, signaling the shipping authority will fund and control the tonnage. The plan envisages carriers, ammo ships, refrigerated ships, cargo ships, mine sweepers, transports, tugs, and landing craft totaling about 1.238 billion dollars for vessels to be added to Congress authorized tonnage since May 1941.
