Navy reorganization plan aims to abolish bureaus and merge duties
The Navy proposes abolishing the bureaus of equipment steam engineering yards and docks and absorbing them into the bureau of construction. Steam engineering would become a division of navigation. Officers may receive specialized graduate study, and current orders consolidate yard work under the naval constructor, with further changes expected to centralize management and adjust appropriations.
