Navy Reorganization Proposed to Unify Civil and Military Duties
A report advocates undivided responsibility under a two chief advisers system for the Navy Secretary, separating civil technical duties from military use of material. It recommends a single military adviser as head of the advisory body, with the rest on active duty, and suggests a joint commission to study navy yard locations and bases. The plan aims to ensure continuity, expertise, and readiness for war while preserving peacetime stability.
