Naval War College Review
Number

Abstract
This unrealistic summer exercise scenario was designed to embarrass the Secretary of the Navy and force the Wilson administration to expand the Navy, illuminating three aspects of the service on the cusp of America’s entry into war: a rupture in civil-military relations, the use to which the Navy put its German counterpart, and Navy leaders’ assessment of the service after two decades of naval buildup.
