other man to put the navy in first
class fighting trim, to make it tech
nically efficient. He began his work
at a time when the American Navy
was not much more than a joke.
Admiral Sims was a thoroughly
scientific observer, with the initiative
and skill to build a great navy. A
more prudent man ore fearful of
martinez discipline, but less patriotic,
would have kept his mouth shut.
Sims was not to be muzzled. He told
