Roosevelt Presses Navy on Hospital Ship Command
President Roosevelt urges reform in naval practice by asserting hospital ships should be commanded by medical officers with naval sailing masters for navigation. He cites past wars, foreign practice, and Army precedent to support a system that preserves neutrality and discipline while ensuring expert medical leadership aboard floating hospitals. Admiral Brownson declines to comment and travels for a duck hunt as Metcalf releases the letters.
