new destroyers, but said they are
“fully adequate.” Measures to
correct defects have already
been taken.
As result of these corrective
measures Charles Edison, Acting
Secretary of the Navy, wrote tr
Senator Vandenberg “it can be
stated without reservation these
destroyers will be superior to
other tyrpes and they will give
years of valuable peacetime ser
vice and greater reliability in
effectiveness in war.”
Edison wrote Vandenberg after
the Senator sent him an editorial
from the Grand Rapids Herald
referring to reports that the des
troyers were so topheavy tha‘
fuel oil couldn’t be used out of
the holds for fear the ships
would fall over.
