....L-ann, . by sea for the supply of all the armed services abroad. This problem seems to become more enormous and complex with each war. The Far Eastern operations are no exception as shown by the fact that the cargo discharged in that area has averaged more than sixty pounds per man per day. This is well above the World War II average of forty-four pounds per man per day in any theatre of operation. The tremendous and ever-in- creasing task of logistical supply to overseas bases will always remain a naval responsibility. SUPERIOR NAVAL STRENGTH Through all its varied components, the United States Navy exercises control of the seas and the coastal areas bounding them. All units of the fleet display unrivaled flexibility and mobility and, together, comprise a vast fighting potential- inimical to the interests of aggressive-minded nations-and a powerful safeguard of freedom. In measuring our own capabilities against a potential enemy, due appreciation must be taken of the factors of relative strength and weakness. We may, for example, find ourselves comparatively weak in manpower. We know happily that we -gwwi-nl 'A 'W 'P'v's W are superior in naval strength, which includes the strength of naval aviation. It is axiomatic that in preparing for any contest, it is wisest to exploit-not neglect-the elements in which we have superior strength. We must lead from strength-not from weakness. We should Accentuate The Positive. Thus it is that a policy which provides for balanced develop- ment and coordinated use of strong naval forces must be fos- tered if we are, within the foreseeable future, to meet the chal- lenge of arms of the forces which seem to oppose us. TRAINED NAVAL PERSONNEL The Navy's fighting ships and aircraft represent the results of America's most advanced scientific research and development. They are precision products of American ingenuity and indus- try. But scientific research, improved equipment, and new naval construction alone will not insure that the Navy can maintain its present World leadership. The need for highly trained and qualified personnel to man the ships and aircraft is now greater than ever. To meet this need, the Navy is constantly revising and im- if SQA
