Navy Needs Officers Safety of Ships Imperiled
The annual report by Rear Admiral George A Converse warns the U S Navy is short of officers for ships. He urges increasing lieutenants from 6 to 600 and lieutenant commanders from 0 to 800 to end dangerous assignments of midshipmen as watch and division officers on battleships. He also recommends broader cruiser squadrons and a potential general staff to improve command and efficiency.
