Navy to Operate U S Transports in War Time
Washington Oct 25 The Navy will take over operation of army transports with bluejackets and naval officers commanding crews to improve efficiency in war zones and reduce submarine risk. The plan calls for a larger navy, seeking 80 000 additional men, and shifts shipping board to run cargo vessels including supplies for armed forces abroad. New fast ships at 18 knots and torpedo resistant build aim to strengthen transport security.
