ADMIRAL PRATT LAUDS MORALE OF NAVY FORCE — . • New Commander-in-Chief r Os U. S. Fleet Explains < His Goal i s By Brayton Welder (United Press Staff Correspondent) i San Pedro, Cal.. Apr 12—(UP) —The ] Flag Command of America’s “first line < ’ of defense" will be transferred here ion May 21, when Admiral William V. < Pratt succeeds Admiral Henry A. Wil- r ley as commander-in-chief of the enl're 1 United States Fleet. ’ During a recent interview on the ( kuarter-deck of his flagship, theU. S. t S. California, the incoming sea chief, t Admiral Prattt, spoke earnestly of the I huge sea power of America over which he is to be placed in supreme com- 1 mand. 1 "It is true that we have reached a I satisfactory state of efifr iency in gun- < nery, engineering, aviation and com- ’ munications”, he said, “and this sit- , nation has been attained only by the r steady development of many years. I "The moral of the officers and men of the navy today is very high —some- I thing that in itself has been largely I responsible for attainment of many i 1 important goals." Briefly he sketched his views of the i destiny of a fighting fleet that at the : end of nearly a half-century of staunch ; endeavor perhaps stands unsurpassed by that of any other nation. "We are trying now, just as the navy has since its inception, to build a well-balanced fleet,” he explained. : "Our ability to do that depends on whether the people see fit to give us money to build the proper ships and to maintain sufficient personnel.” In Service 44 Years Constant training over a period of 44 years of service stands back of the man who will guide the actions of this tremendous weapon for the next two years.
