Admiral Fiske Urges Flying Corps Over Ship Numbers
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske told the House naval committee that ships alone cannot form a first rank navy and that while battleships can be built quickly the men and training to man them take years. He pressed for a general staff and stronger aviation capacity, noting aeronautics can advance more in a year than capital ship construction. He also described tensions with Secretary Daniels and a temporary leave of absence.
