Navy asks faster shipbuilding and more officers to avert fleet shortfall

He called for immediate construction pace, including one aircraft carrier to replace the ex-Pesimental U.S.S. Laneley, and a larger Navy officer corps with higher academy admissions from senators and representatives. He pressed for four academy appointments per senator and five per representative to build a capable, manned force.
