Naval mobilization projections against Japan in wartime
The text argues that to wage war with Japan the United States would need 228 ships in 30 days and could not muster more than 28. It warns Japan could land 260,000 soldiers in the Philippines and 100,000 in Hawaii before 10,000 from the Pacific coast could sail. It compares Japan’s merchant fleet capable of transporting 206,000 men per convoy and notes a shortage of U.S. merchant vessels. It cites 600,000 Japanese merchant mariners, 10,000 American natives in the current merchant fleet, and estimates a $40 million cost to equip a transoceanic fleet rivaling Japan’s.
