Navy Gale Sees British Lead and Japan Edge
Information from Washington shows the United States about half the naval strength of Great Britain and less than half Japan. By Jan 1 1921 Britain held 32 ships totaling 811056 tons, the US 16 ships at 435750 tons, and Japan 10 ships at 298320 tons. The navy’s future builds will offset battleship strength but leave the US weaker in destroyers cruisers and light cruisers, while overall battleships remain superior. President-elect Harding met with Rep Butler to discuss trimming naval expenditures without harming coastal defense and merchant protection. Other visitors included Daniel G. Reid and B R Inman as talks on economy and naval policy continued.
