Admiral Outlines
The Navy’s Role
As Defense Force
The Navy’s role in the defense
program of the United States wa*
outlined to the members of the
Rotary Club in a speech delivered
by Rear Admiral Arnold McKech
nic last Tuesday.
^Hhe stress is o<n deterrence, he
said; and the beat deterrent is a
strong fighting force. This in
i'
eludes all branches of the Service.
The Adratirah pointed out the
need for readiness, especially in
these times of world unrest A
powerful fighting strength has to
be maintained, he said, but the
use of it was a determining factor
in keeping the peace. “Exerting
too much pressure, would bring on
war,” he said. “Too little pressure
could lose a war.”
Turning to the specific role of
the Navy, Admiral McKechnie
stated this branch of the service
had to be able to fight in all parts
of the world, “on the sea, under

world.” Citing an instance from
his own experience, when he once
saw service on a coal-fired Navy
craft, and later aboard a nuclear
powered submarine, the Admiral
illustrated the change ih concepts
in use of weapons of war, and the
constant adjustments, not always
foreseeable, that had to be made.
The submarines today, equipped
as they are with guided missiles
of deadly accuracy and range
power, furnishes us with protec
tion for shipping, and enables us
to supply materials when requir
ed and where required.
“It’s aximatic,” Admiral Mc
Kechnie concluded, “that each
branch of the service must do its
job. Each branch cannot do the
job alone.”
