...Navy already has 18 cruisers. The first item on the Navy's shopping list was therefore 25 cruisers.* The other proposed additions were: 9 destroyer leaders, 32 submarines, 5 aircraft carriers.

That his idea may fail to take tangible form bears little weight; for in the unending pursuit, he has produced some very pleasant by-play...
