clear that It will be to the advantage
OF the country for the congress to adopt
a comprehensive plan for putting the
navy upon final footing OF strength
and efficiency and to press that plan
to completion within the next Eve
years. We have always looked to the
navy OF the country as our first and
chief line OF defense: we have always
seen it to be our manifest course of
prudence to be strong on the seas.
Year by year we have been creating
navy which now ranks very high in
deed among the navies of the maritime
nations We should now definitely de
termine how we shall complete what
we have begun and how soon.
The program to be laid before you
contemplates the construction within
five years Of ten battleshlps. six battle
cruisers. ten Scout cruisers, fifty de-
stroyers, fifteen feet submarines.
eighty-five coast submarines. four gun
boats, one hospital ship. two ammuni-
don ships. two fuel oil ships and one

number we shall the first year provide
for the construction of two battleships.

fifteen destroyers, five feet submarines.

her wonderful adventures.

surely, and not her own that the things
that were so real and true to her were
