Navy planners weigh new Atlantic fleet and fast cruiser
Congressional and naval sources say the administration may propose a new Atlantic fleet centered on a large fast cruiser and a second pair of 45 000 ton battleships. The Pacific fleet would remain primary while smaller ships are not favored. Representative Maas notes a 20 000 to 28 000 ton armored cruiser with 11 inch guns could form the Atlantic core.
