Navy to cut force as 375000 peace strength eyed
Captain Laning told the House Naval Committee that a 375000 peace time navy requires a broad recruiting drive to free wartime personnel. If merchant seamen are manned independently, naval staff could drop by 130000, with the Navy aiming to release reservists and temporary enlistments after the war. The current 580000 would be reduced, with many four year and war period enlistees considered for discharge beginning July 1.
