Keeping Tab on 7000 Ships in US War Fleet Control
The United States Shipping Board runs 1500 merchant ships like a railroad, tracking every vessel every six minutes at Atlantic ports. A planning and statistics division led by B H Gay coordinates with war boards, couriers data to forecast needs, and produces ten day charts showing vessel movements, imports, exports, and port performances to guide allocations and possible transfers to the army.
