Admiral Winslow cites need for radical Navy reforms
Admiral Cameron Winslow told the House naval committee that the U S Navy’s system of training education and ship construction is defective and cannot yield a fully efficient fighting force for 50 years. He urged a general staff promotion system and earlier entry of boys into service with sea training to improve fleet readiness. He warned current methods limit American ships compared with foreign rivals.
