Advocates Propose Navy Exposition As Future Use
Congressman W S Goodwin proposes turning the battleship fleet into traveling trade expositions to showcase American farms and factories. He envisions ships adorned with Made by the United States Steel Corporation and stocked with wheat cornmeal and flour, turning the navy into a global sales force.

The debate hinges on whether the navy can serve both defense and commerce without undermining its core mission.
