UNITED STATES NAVY.
CONSOLIDATION OF FLEETS.
(Received 9. 8.55 a.m.) Washington. December 7. The Navy Department has announced the consolidation of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, under the single command of Admiral Jones. It involved no changes in any present assignment of the ships or the navy’s personnel, but was chiefly for effecting peace-time organisation that could he carried on in a war emergency without a change. The fleet, under the new plan, will consist of a battle fleet composing the main fighting strength of the navy, prepared to engage the enemy fleet, scouting fleet, fleet base force, and a control fleet to organise control of the sea after this has been obtained bv the action of the tattle fleet.—(A. and N.Z.)
