DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Navy Department: For the Year 1897 On the Pacific Coast there is but one dock Of sufficient size to dock a modern battle ship. This is on Puget Sound, 900 miles from San Fran cisco. Access to it is through a narrow channel 20 miles wide, one side of which is in possession of a foreign country. This lack of docking facilities should be remedied at the earliest possible moment. The necessity is imperative. The Department, therefore, appointed in August last a Special board to examine the matter, and the valuable report made by it will be forwarded to Con gress as soon as it meets. This board reports that timber docks, although less expensive than stone or concrete, are not durable. A plan for the location of additional Government docks, recommended by this board as a result Of its investigations, is comprehensive and should be substantially carried out. When completed, it will give the necessary facilities demanded by the extensive coast line of our country. There are seven strategic divisions of our coast: First, from the Bay Of Fundy to Cape Cod; second, from Cape Cod to Sandy Hook; third, from Sandy Hook to Cape Henry; fourth, from Cape Henry to Cape Sable; fifth, the coast line bordering on the Gulf of Mexico; sixth, the southern portion Of the Pacific coast, and seventh, the northern por tion. There should be docks and repair shops in each division, and these should be placed, as far as possible, at great commercial and industrial centers, not only because workmen and material can be Obtained more readily and more reasonably at such points, but also because such points require and will have, from their importance to the country, a strong land defense; and, as the docks also require a strong defense, one set of fortifications will cover both civil and mili tary property. In the great commercial centers also, from which ply large trans-ocean steamers, the Government will be able to derive some revenue from accommodating them in its docks.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Navy Department: For the Fiscal Year 1917 I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of this department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, including opera tions, recommendations, and estimates to date. Since April 6 the Navy of the United States has been undergoing the test of war. While I may not, therefore, speak in detail of the greater naval operations since that date, it may be stated that the record is one of increasing power, of developing resourcefulness, and of cooperative achievement which the American people may well survey with national pride. The spirit of the Navy of to-day was tersely expressed by a young oflicer, the senior in command of our first flotilla of destroyers sent abroad to combat the submarine menace. When asked by the English admiral, upon the arrival of the ships in England, when they would be ready, the American officer answered, We are ready now. This was not the language of boasting. It was the prophecy and pledge of our service with those fighting in a common cause. In the trying months that have fol lowed the readiness and fitness of our men and ships have been tested and established amid perils more insidious and baffling than those that ever before confronted a nation at war. During peaceful years the Navy has been quietly but steadily perfecting itself to meet the time of war. How adequate was its preparation, how eflicient its personnel, how competent its machinery to carry on the multitudinous activities of war time could only be surmised and estimated. Now the hour for which it has been preparing has arrived. Our sword is drawn, and no one will dispute that the blade is keen and free from rust and its temper true. Although the naval activities in this war have been largely confined to the extermination of the sub marine, our Navy has been called on to do much more than the public realizes, and in no case and in no way has it so far been found wanting either in material or personnel.
