He sees it as probably necessary to preserve US naval aviation, even if he does not endorse every method used by the admirals.

Air power may share a medium, but the logistics, basing, and supported forces differ enough that naval aviation cannot simply be copied into a single air service. The revolt therefore defended a specialized capability whose survival depended on remaining connected to fleet operations.
