More Men Needed To Man 2-Ocean Navy, Says Knox An announcement, made public recently by the United States Navy Department, that construction has been started on six 27,000-ton super cruisers, indicates that work on our new "Two-Ocean" Navy has been further accelerated. This latest statement concerning Naval shipbuilding brings the total number of new ships ordered since January 1, 1941 to 2,831—with 968 of these ships already under construction. Production line methods are being used wherever possible and a pronounced speed-up has been accomplished by the institution of a 48-hour week and a three-shift 24-hour day. 375,000 men are already employed in shipyards and another 125,000 men will be added to this force of workmen who are speeding ships down the ways at the rate of at least one every ten days. So coordinated and precise is the current naval shipbuilding program that many months are being cut from the normal building time of American-made warships. This expert planning and new speed in construction of our ships from 45,000-ton dreadnaughts to small torpedo boats opens the way for the Navy to accept new qualified men for training at the rate of 12,000 to 15,000 a month. These men, enlisting in either the regular Navy or the Naval Reserve, will be sent to one of the four Naval Training stations and may have a chance to go to a Navy This expert planning and new speed in construction of our ships from 45,000-ton dreadnaughts to small torpedo boats opens the way for the Navy to accept new qualified men for training at the rate of 12,000 to 15,000 a month. These men, enlisting in either the regular Navy or the Naval Reserve, will be sent to one of the four Naval Training stations and may have a chance to go to a Navy Trade School even before assignment to the fleet. During this period they will receive regular Navy pay and the free Navy schooling is valued at hundreds of dollars. Every new ship in our Navy will require not only hundreds of additional sailors but many more Navy men will be needed to work in Navy dry docks, machine shops, ordnance depots and other shore posts to keep the new ships in action. "Never in the history of the United States has there been greater opportunity for loyal young Americans to serve their country and build their futures than right now," Secretary of the Navy Knox recently said.
