Reorganization of the Navy Bill Advances in House
The Bocock plan mirrors the Mallory Senate bill in aim while adding flag officers above captains, trimming total officers, a retired list, a reform board, higher sea pay, stricter leave rules, and merit based promotion. It also provides for assimilated naval army rank, a Judge Advocate, three thousand extra seamen and marines with boosted pay, and re enlistment incentives. The Musical Congress at the Crystal Palace in New York drew a smaller crowd with a sacred concert planned for Sunday amid mixed editorials and social humor.
