the number of officers assigned to ships so that the estimate made in IMS of the number of officers needed for ships In commission la Inadequate It provided for only about one-half ss many officers as ships of the same claw carry In the British French and German navies Admiral Converse recommends that the number of lieutenants Jje increased from £0 to 6J0 and that the number of lieutenant-commanders be Increased from M0 to 100 "It Is especially the Admiral aye 'hat every battleship and other powerful vessel requiring the greatest kill should have her full quota for full ranks Many of our battles have lieutenants as ordnanoe offloers and several battleships have ensigns and even midshipmen ss watch and-division officers Thla very unsatisfactory and even dangerous
