 The deficiencies of this system quickly became appar- en when the stresses of modern-day warfare fell upon the Navys hgherleve officers after Pearl Harbor Ad mra Towers commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet has pointed out that the sambang tactics of fast carrier warfare and the prolonged SlugeStS of prenvasion bat teshp cruiser and destroyer operations imposed phys cal strains which too much for of the older officers to endure. Not on they too od he said but they did not have experience in aviation and did not know how to use their weapons As result they were OVer-cautious.'
 As the progresesd the older men-with few notable exceptions-were replaced by more youthful vigorous and daring commanders, who proved beyond doubt that officer qualify as an admiral or com modore with something than age or length of serv- ice to his credit The Navy will seek to take advantage this lesson by giving youth and ability opportunity to advance in time of peace well of Selection boards will be authorized to reach down the list of eigibes and pick out who regardless of age have demonstrated outstanding ability in command assign menS Unless Congress increases the peacetme officer strength of the Navy of courSe the promotions thus dered to be relatively few The incentive for young officers to aspire to flag rank with apprec able degree of hope will be real and compelling how ever The net result of the whole service is bound to be Salutary.
