Navy Department reorganizes bureaus and duties
Proposals reorganize Navy Department structure into four adviser groups for material, personnel, operations, fleet tone, and inspections. Establish divisions for material and personnel duties, fleet operations, a unified inspection system, and a modern shipkeeping system. Abolish the board of construction and create the bureau of equipment.
Naval Bureau Reform Plans by Secretary Meyer
Secretary Meyer launches the widest bureau system overhaul since its founding to run the Navy on a business basis. He will name four aids as a general staff, abolish the board on construction, seek Congress to abolish the bureau of equipment, and transfer duties to other bureaus. The four aides are Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright, Rear Admiral William Potter, Rear Admiral William Swift, and Capt Aaron Ward, with Capt Heginald J Nicholson as chief of the bureau of navigation. The changes create divisions for fleet operations, a permanent inspection system, a modern cost-keeping system, and two main bureau divisions: material and personnel. The bureau of equipment is to be abolished.
