Description
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, had asked Congress for authority to start a Navy building and conversion plan costing about $335,000,000. Among the 112 vessels to be built would be four new type submarines including one driven by atomic power. Admiral Sherman is shown by a car as he called at the White House later that day.
