 The strategic position of the Hawai- ian Islands, the board said made abso- lutely imperative the development of the Pearl Harbor station into a first class base adequate to take care of the whole fleet in any movement, of fensive or defensive, across the Paci- fic." Developments recommended at an estimated cost of 27,000,O00 includ- ed an additional dry-dock, increased storage space, expansion of repair and maintenance equipment, and com plete submarine base.

 Advantages of San Diego as an avia- tion training and operating base were emphasized and exclusive naval use of the training station now operated jointly with the army was urged.
