Scrapping Ships Kennedy Sees Postwar Shipping Needs
Joseph P. Kennedy argues the postwar United States will need about 10 million tons of fast quality ships for commerce and some extra tonnage for the armed services. He favors selling surplus ships to nations whose fleets vanished in the war and scrapping only what is necessary. He notes the 1919 fleet was large and many ships were retired and predicts the postwar fleet could rise to three times 1919, urging preservation of U S capacity and minimal scrapping.
