Admiral Fletcher Attacks Sims in Naval Board Testimony
Vice Admiral Sims' use of American destroyers in European waters during the early U.S. entry to the war faced sharp critique by Admiral Henry J. Wilson. Wilson testified before the naval board investigating Rear Admiral Fletcher's Brest command removal, arguing destroyers could have operated two ways from Brest and Queenstown to convoy troops and supplies into French ports more efficiently. He disputed Capt. Byron Long's claim that Brest was denied for oiling limits, saying Brest facilities were adequate when Wilson took command.
