Mr.. Forrestal said no one knows
what effect the atomic bomb will
have on modelling navies, but en-
phasized that the United States
Navy intends to adapt the atomic
bomb to carrier based planes.
But whatever the future brings
he asserted, "the mission OF the
United States Navy is to control the
seas, which are important to our
security by whatever weapons are
most effective"
While immensely destructive, he
said. the atomic bomb lis still a
bomb. requiring land or carrier
based planes to deliver it." And
the best defense against it is "in
intercepting air power"
If we were to give away our fleet
and rely wholly on the bomb, we
would lose control of the sea-" he
said.
Secretary Forrestal estimated that
something less than $4,000 planes"
and total personnel of between 500,-
900 and 100000 officers and men, ex-
