Is it time to bring back naval districts if they would help shipbuilding?
Short answerYes in principle; a modern regional structure could restore continuing responsibility without copying the historical naval-district system exactly.
NotesThe reply favors an updated regional organization for shipbuilding and related naval responsibilities. Senior officers on the east, southeast, and west coasts are suggested as possible points of responsibility. This would adapt the regional principle to modern industrial needs rather than reproduce every feature of the old naval districts.
