Japanese war. were so widely sepa-
rated that they could not support
each other. or one go to the assist
ance of the other. before the enemy
could attack.
In the new organization of the
American Navy. as pointed out above,
these two fleets, the Atlantic and the
Pacific. are not so widely separated
as to be unable to support each other
They are. in fact SO situated at all
times that one can come to the i'm
mediate assistance of the other in
case of any impending danger of an
attack from any enemy's naval force.
1t therefore is clear that strategic
ally the new organization does not

Pacific would be the center of naval

Can Combine Easily.
The other question of naval activi-
ties is whether the two fleet Organi-
cations would materially interfere
with the tactics of the combined fleet
should the two fleets be brought to-
gether to operate as one force
In both the Atlantic and the Pacific
fleets we have an equal number of
division units of the ships of the
different classes, so that should the
two fleets come together. either in
the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean.
both Of them can combine Immediate
ly into one tactical fleet. making a
homogeneous whole without the
slightest difficulty. Instead of two
or thre divisions, there would be
some twenty-o odd divisions. Instead
of four divisions of battleships. there
woud be eight divisions. This COM
bination of two fleets into one has
been entirely foreseen and will be
carried out in exercises with the
two fleets combined into one.
The divisions of the two fleets bear
certain serial numbers, so that when
they come together each division has
its assigned place in the battle for
nation. Orders have been given
definitely designating which one OF
the fleet commanders would be in
supreme command of the different
units of each fleet. and they know
in advance of juncture exactly wha,
the position of their divisions OF
ships would be in the battle forma-
tion of the combined fleet.

Navy Not "Divided."
1t is mistake to speak of the
Navy as being "divided" into two
heetS. in the sense that the two fleets
are widely separated. and. therefore,
DO not support each other The more
correct expression is to say that the
, Navy is organized in two great fleets,
each composed of the same number of
divisions of the various types of ships
which go to make up that tactical
organization called feet.
This is true because the Panama
canal permits the two fleets. at all
times. to be in close touch with each
other. Either fleet could be sent from
the main strategical positions on
one coast to those positions on the
other coast within comparatively few
days, and as this period is less than
that in which any enemy of any i'm
Dortant strength could attack either
one of our seacoasts. it is evident
that in no way does the two-fleet or
ganiZation plan weaken the protec-
tion of either of our coasts. AS a
matter of fact. this plan of organiza- =
ton greatly increases the protection
of each coast. and in that way the
protection of our nation as whole.
The protection of either one of our
long seacoasts not only depends upon
the ships themselves. but it also very
materially depends upon the estab-
| lishment. size and location of naval
bases and the navy yards. which must
exist for the maintenance of the fleet
in war as we'll as in peace. and 1T
is evident that such bases will only
be properly developed when they are
used by large force of ships during
times of peace.
