I think the destroyer is so useful that I would like to see it increased, and the General Board has recommended a total of 450 by 1925. We now have built, building, or projected 342. Air. Britten. Of course, you don't agree that the adding of the dirigibles is only an added expense. They add greatly to the volume and usefulness of the ships and fleet? Admiral Badger. That is the reason we recommended it. Mr. Kelley. It won't reduce the number of aircraft? Admiral Badger. It won't reduce the aircraft but it will add to the efficiency of the whole. Mr. Oliver. What was our shortest time in finishing a destroyer? Admiral Badger. I will have to ask about that. It was well within a year. Mr. Oliver. About seven months? Admiral Badger. I think so. Mr. Oliver. If we can develop plants that will build destroyers in seven months, what is the necessity of adding so greatly at this time to the very large number already authorized? We will soon have about 350. Admiral Badger. The only answer I can give is that if wo do not have the shipi on hand the emergency may arise and we won't have them when most needbd; and, further, it is a good thing to nave these very ustful and important ships and keep the men in training. It is usually a difficult and dangerous thing to begin building considerable numbers of new vessels when our international relations are strained. Mr. Oliver. How many destrovers did that six-ve.ar program before we entered the war contemplate that we would build? Admiral Badger. One hundred and eight more, giving Mr. Oliver (intervening). No; I mean, how many did the threeyear program that we adopted just before we entered the war inc...Hide synopsis

They will, of course, be let go as soon as their services can be spared, but we must care for our sick men. The Chairman. And the wounded are being brought back now? Capt. Laning. Yes, sir. Mr. Oliver. I think there are two important facts which should be emphasized, and if emphasized will tend to silence criticism: The first is, that so far as the Navy is concerned, the war is not over by any means. Capt. Laning. Far from it. Mr. Oliver. And the other is, that we are now engaged in bringing the wounded back as fast as we can, and we must oe in position to give them every attention. Capt. Laning. That is very true, and is what we are doing. Mr. Hicks. In the Army, I think they are not releasing men in certain lines most needed. Capt. Laning. We are considering the situation very carefully. We have no desire to hold anybody whose services are not required. Each case is investigated, and we let those go that can be spared, and hold those whose services are essential to the conduct of our work. Doctors, radio men, and other classes of men we can not let go at the present time. l. Britten'. Your request for an appropriation for next year is to provide for 350,000 men. How are those 350,000 men going to be divided? Capt. Laning. We do not know, and can not know until we find out what legislation is going to be enacted. Mr. Britten. What are your estimates based on? Capt. Laning. We get 350,000 by taking the number of ships we expect to man and operate. That is the way that we determined the number of men needed. Mr. Britten. Let me know what number are in the Navy; also how many are in the merchant marine? The Chairman. There wi...Hide
