DRAFT SUMMARY OF VICE ADMIRAL TURNER'S REMARKS TO PRESS - 7/25/72
The new President of the Naval War College, VADM Stansfield
Turner, briefed correspondents on 25 July on plans for the
forthcoming academic year. He said that two areas of traditional
strength in the War College would receive more emphasis. One
is individual study and research, such as that of Admiral Alfred
Thayer Mahan while at the War College. The other is study of
Navy management and tactics. The Admiral quoted Fleet Admiral
Nimitz's praise for the War College's work in tactics prior to
World War II. " The war with Japan had been enacted in the
Game Room here by so many people and in so many different ways
that nothing that happened during the war was a surprise -
absolutely nothing except the kamikaze tactics toward the end
of the war; we had not visualized those."
He indicated that it had been necessary since World War II
to add a great deal of subject matter to the War College
curriculum. The time was ripe, he thought, to ask whether
too much was being covered. He stated that the objective of having
a War College is, "To enhance the capability of naval officers
to make sound decisions in both command and management positions
by expanding their logical thinking and reasoning capacities."
To achieve this at Newport this year the Naval Warfare course
will cover fewer subjects this year, but treat them in greater
depth. Most of the teaching will be done by intensive student

reading, periodic essays, and regular seminar discussions
with War College professors. Feeling that lecturers exercise
the student's thinking capacities less than rigorous
individual study, Admiral Turner said that there would be many
fewer lecturers next year. Distinguished military, government
and business personages will still be sought, but there will be
more academic experts who will come to the campus for 3-4 days
instead of the usual 3-4 hours for most lecturers. The
objective will be to generate the direct student-professor
exchange that is missing on many campuses today. There will
also be two one month periods of intensive individual research
during which the student will have few, if any, classes to
attend.
The shift in emphasis toward management and tactics is a
result of the Admiral's opinion that international relations
and broad strategy have been over-emphasized in recent years
in all War Colleges. Turner said "The way we allocate and
manage our scarce resources will have as much effect on our
strategy as any consideration of strategic principles." He
also said that the rapid changes in technology made it important
for senior officers to review their tactics. "Too few
people and organizations in the Navy are njm?mrj giving serious
thought to the development of new tactical concepts." he said.

In line with shift in emphasis from international
relations to management and tactics, there will be a moratorium
in George Washington University masters degree program in
international affairs this year. This will apply only to the
Naval Warfare (senior course). All of the changes planned
will be phased into the Command and Staff Course more gradually.
There will be emphasis on academic freedom of discussion
this year. Officers on the faculty as well as students will
wear civilian clothes and all name tags will show first names
rather than rank.
It looks like an exciting year for this next crop of Naval
War College students: a new President; a new curriculum; and
a new building and housing programs, the first parts of which
will come on the line shortly.

Possible Questions and Recommended Answers
25 July media briefing
1. Soviet Navy. it is desirable that early in the
question session you take any general question about the
Navy and the Soviet Navy and give the pitch about relevant _v.
Seapower, k epinq sealanes on, Zumwalt"s four miss ".ons,etc.
Can't compare the two and why. Might also want to give them
a few squirts on B9 - -Polsar/Pentagonal worlds. A general dis-
cussion along these lines would be valuable if there is in-
terest and it would prevent "irritant" questions.
2. Name of War College. This subject might come
up. If it does, your answer should be: "I understand this
question was discussed by some of my predecessors and the
Navy Department but the decision was made to leave thename
as it is. I'm not aware of any effort now underway to con-
sider a new name." Brush off any further question with a
repeat. However, if question is politely worded and person
is genuinely interested, than}, him for question and you_ will
take the matter under advisement.
3. Deployi'!ent of ships. If force level at Newport
comes up as it might, answer as follows: "As you are aware,
this is a matter that is really out of my purview. Admiral
W:schier., who is with us today, is theexpert on This subject
and I'm sure you could get in touch with him at another time
for clarification on the subject. However, I can observe that
the Navy continually assesses the disposition of its units so
its hard to give you a hard and fast answer. Furthermore, if
more budget cuts develop in the future, we will, of course, have
to look a more reductions although (and I stress this) this does
not necessarily nacan anh~:con would involve Newport.
Zight Tom'>
4. Future of the War College. Although you will make
it clear in your prepared remarks that the future of the College
looks quite secure, someone may ask the question. Answer: "Well,
I have just discussed with you t building program totaling nearly
2 3 million and pointed out that our goal is to raise the student
body number to around 700. With these goals in mind I feel quite
confident the NWC will be a permanent part of the Newport community
for years to come . " (Don't mention McGovern budget)

 ?2, hp2-oved For Release 2001/08/01 : CIA-RDP80B01554R003500100001-6
5. Community relations. At an appropriate time,
strongly recommend you comment on your observations (although
limited yet) of the fine ties that exist between the Navy and
the communities oNewport and Middletown (reps present). Fine
spirited community, good rapport and willing to thrash out
problems when they develop. A kudo won't hurt.
6. Fire Fighting. Black clouds could gather over
the media briefing re: fire fighting school. Again, answer:
"This is a problem and concern to all of us here today, al-
though this is a matter under Admiral Tibbet's jurisdiction.
I can comment, however, that no body is more interested than
I in correcting this ecoglogical problem. I understand there
is now a request before Congress to provide funds to build
a new and modern fire fighting facility at McAllister Poi.rmt
which wouldinclude a smoke abatement sv_ tem, that will take the
black clouds away for good. Be assured everyone is working as
hard as possible to get this corrected as soon as possible."
7. Waste and Sewaqe Disposal. Base Commander and PWC
recommend the following answer: "I understand the Base Commander
and the Public WorksOfficer and their people are working closely
with the surrounding municipalities and the Regional Disposal
lint `ity to solve this problem quickly and sa 1s actorily. I
know the Navy is dedicated to a regional solution to this matter.
I would appreciate it if you would direct any additional questions
on this subject to the Base Commander at some other time."
8. Navy Dependent Housing. Answer: "I have already
discussed briefly with you our foreseeable plans for housing for
Naval War College students/faculty and their dependents. Beyond
the status quo would only be speculation with too many variables
for a predictable program. However, I want to assure you that
even with the building program now in effect we will not, nor would
we ever hope to, provide enough housing for everyone. We are
going to continue l:~o LLhave-o rely on t1ie cc mmun tes in this area
for housing for our personnel and their families ...and I'm not
even talking about the requirements Admirals Tibbets andW ;schler
have -- the support of the surrounding communities has been out-

standing and we are deeply grateful for it." Also, mention
these points:
a. we will work with ou pla.ns,.for the future
as they develop (if and when) and all plans will be in concert
with our friends in the area.
b. Q surprise
c. compliment Colbert's effort to have homes built
at Fort Adams in harmony with area architecture.
d. encourage publicity of ribbon cutting when 60
units are finally ready.
e. might want to make a plea to help house families

9. Mr. Chafee. 'If somebody tries to get dirty or tries
to evoke a little controversy on your past relationship with
Mr. Chafee, handle it as follows: "Extremely pleased to have
had the opportunity to work the former SecNav and impressed by
not only what he did in behalf of the Navy but also impressed
by the contioi_butions of other SecNav's, Mr. Ignatius and now
Mr. Warner. As far as that goes, I am tremendously impressed
by the strong support the Navy has gotten (and gets) from all
of your elected government officials."
If someone really gets dirty and asks if Mr. Chafee
helped you get the job as President, "I would hoe that y per-
formance of duty while in the Secretary's office major
factor for the Navy selecting mce for this position." (smiling
all the while you say it) No other comment needed.
10. LHA, Dl) 963, Trident and Mark 48. Based on
the meetings
with the media during the past two weeks, you should not
get queried
on these. If you should, "I'm sorry but I really can't
give
you
an up-to--date answer on those (it) because I've been out
of
the
main stream for a while. I think your best bet would be
to
call
OSD/PA for an up date."
11. F-14. Answer: "Mr. Laird discussed T? subject
with the media in the Pentagon just last week. I pink I am right
in saying that the Navy has -taken the position a will continue
to take the position that it has a valid, W ~ contract with
the Grumman Aircraft Corp. Z Admiral Zumwalt, and Secretaries
Warner and Chafee have stated the same position and that the Navy
will continue to follow through on that contract under the terms

of that contract and insist upon the G.A.C. delivering on the
basis of that contrak
12. Cost~ins. Answer: "I'll have to defer to
the experts in Washington, D. C. on that." (Remember the query
and talk with him later at dinner -- off the record) if
the query even comes up.
13. Systems Analysis. What did you do before coming
to Newport? at was your job? Answer: ships of 23/27 knots
and $2.00 more for extra four knots -- example you used in Boston
with Winship and Taylor.
14. SALT. Answer-. "Let me answer that by repeating
what Admiral Zumwalt told an audience in St. Petersburg, Fla
recently -- We in the Navy were neither opposed to this agree-
meNnt nor displeased with the summit's outcome. I can state
to you categorically, that we have supported it from. the first, and
feel it offers the past path to deal with a new reality -- the
reality:' balance of power." Conclude with, "in this context
it would, in my judgement, be most unwise to assume that, since
the strategic deterrent role of the Navy is now regulated the
toehrs need not be tended to. 'T'here is nothing in the summit
agreement to indicate that we can assume this and everything
in the cycles of history -- dating back to before this
country's founding --?- to warn against such complacency on our
part." Bring in point that subjects such as this will be topics
for discussion at War College, etc.
15. SiBunting. Answer"I look forward to having mat5U
Bunting with us this year. As a matter of fact, he's here with
us today. I think Si's presence on the faculty will help to
stimulate a real academic atmosphere where views can be exchanged
and thinking will be stimulated. I've come to know him quite well
and I can assure you is one of the top pro's in the business -- he
certainly has few peers as a military historian." If follow up
question leads to conflict of interest re: Bunting then answer,
"Major Bunting has assured me his personal literary activities
will not interfere with his official duties,"and again I want to
stress that to have a real academic atmosphere we must be able
to exchange ideas and hear all sides to each point-- Si's expertise

will be a big bonus to us."
16. Recruiting. (info coming from E. Tidd)
17. Naval M serve Forces. (Pages 32-34 CNO's statement
to the Senate AFC) Answer"I can report what Admiral Zumwalt
told the Senate AFC recently -- we expect to have about 129,000
in the selected reserve this year --one Navy concept -- Naval
Reserve comhat units operate under the same Navy commands which
are responsible for their active duty counterparts. As a
result of increased command emphasis on readiness, and the
infusion. of aircraft and ships resulting from active fleet
reductions, Naval Reserve readiness is rapidly improving.
You might add: "We are extremely happy to work closely with
the naval reserves in the area -- many fine programs for training
and recruiting are coordinated by area reserve units and they
do an excellent job. "
18. Breaking Russian Code. I doubts f this will get % asked, however, answer is: "That subject is really out of my
area of concern, but, again, I can tell you what Mr. Laird has
stated on the subject: lie would not comment on the subject
about the National Security Agency. I think that's a rather
wise policy." Next question.
19. McGovern Budget. Answer: "I'm sure you will agree
this is a political issue, therefore, I am restrained from com-
menting on your question."
20. NROTC. If asked about Brown University, "Quite
sorry to see the unit disbanded for removing the NROTC takes
away, I feel, from a healthy, academic climate -- again it is
important that all sides of an issue be studied and presented.
Sidetracking the NROTC unit destroys the true concept of aca-
demic freedom. "

22. Vulnerability of Nuclear Submarines- VADM King in
Senate testimony stated, "There has been some concern about the
current vulernability and, therefore, survivability of our Polaris-
Poseidon submarines. That is not a problem." He went on to add
that there is need to replace older fleet ballistic missle sub
if russians improve their ASW capability or impro* their defense
to port that weapons systems would not be effective -?n estimate that
space of 20-'30 years will make the fleet ballistic missle submarine
obsolete -- ultimate goal to replace by ULMS -?,- conversion to Poseidon
which improves weapons system---will delay obsolesence.
23. Dikes and Dams. Unlikely, however, should you be
asked: "We=ll, that's getting a .l1tle afield from NWC matters.
All I can tell you is what I have read or heard. Late last
week Mr. ba,ird stated there will continue to be no repeat no
targetting ofdilces _ md darns in No.. Vietnam --- except where there
A A roadway --- if any dikes or clams hit it would be
because the dike or dam was being used for military purposes.
If you want more information on this subject, I suggest you con-
tact OSD/PA."
24. Base Closures/Reductions. Answer: "At the mu,)ment,
I have no inside knowledge of any base closures or major reductions
at Naval bases in the New England area -- however, the subject of
base economics is always alive in Washington. Such decisions are
never taken lightly, are announced well in advance and the Navy
makes every attempt to relocate employes."
25. Budget. Reason why Navy will have largest budget. Mr.
Laird in posture statement to Congress said "Budget authority for
strategic nuclear forces will increase by $1.2 billion including the
major step to ULMS and new, advanced airborne command post. Also
authority increased for shipbuilidng and conversion by $500 million
for a level more than two times the 1966-70 average -- demonstrating
our emphasis on modernizing and maintaining a strong Navy."

28. Availability of Guests,etc. Although you have dis--
cusses this everywhere we have been, someone whom we have not
seen will probably bring this up. Answer: "Yes, I'd like to
see _-he diedia have a better shot at some of our distingu`hed
quests and lecturers. Of course, I have to look into thisisub-
jec-- since haven't been on board long enough to find out what
the groundrules have been/are on the issue. However, I don't
seA any reason why, if the quests is amenable to the idea."
Acd what types of speakers you hope to get and that we should
b' able to work it out to the media can tell us what quest (s)
they would like to meet. We can arrange it ahead of time.
29. Navy expenditures in area. According to the very
complete and professional ANNUAL REPORT put out by the Naval
Base Commander, I u-nderstand the 1971 gross payroll. for Navy
and civilian employes in the R.I.-Southeastern Mass are totaled
more than $33.8 million -- an increase of about $33 million over
the previous year.
a. 27 per cent or $95 million was paid
to civilian employes at Newport and Quonset-Davisville
b. Construction in Narragansett Bay area
totaled (will total) $15.5 million.
c. ON east side of Bay salaries for civilians
totaled $44 million, military personnel amounted to nearly
$150 million for a grand total of nearly $195million
We distributed some of the ANNUAL REPORTS and if
you would like one, suggest you see Mr. Frank Pritchard, BASE PAO.
30. F-l4 Problems. Captain Nott recommends the follow-
ing answer: "Every new development, particularly that of a high
performance weapons system, involves some problem and de-bugging.
We always expect to turn up such things in new ships or airplanes
and, in fact, our rigorous acceptance inspections and tests,
are designed to do just that. Safety items, particularly, get
far more attention from us than from you. We fl.y the things."

(Recruiting continued)
Presently, are 12,000,000 young men 17-22
11.6 percent of population
Three out of every four not available because:
a. not qualified
b. veteran
c. student *fulltime
Therefore, at best 2.6 million available for all
services to recruit -- at worst only 1.0 million -- taking
into account a fourth factor with three above -- that factor
being the person has something else to do besides go into
the service.
So, QMA. is about one million young men who will
be approached by all services. The Navy needs to get 154,000
of that pie.

26. RACE RELATIONS. If asked, "No apparent problem at
the War College -- and I understand we have an effective minority
affairs program throughout the Navy commands in the area. I
can tell you what ADmiral Zumwalt has recently reiterated to all
hands -- "For the good of the Navy and all our people, I wish to
reemphasize my vital concern with race relations and reaffirm my
commitment to equal opportunity and treatment for all Navy per-
sonnel. ours must be a Navy family that recognizes no artificial
barriers of race, color or religion. We must work to improve
race relations and I call upon each of you to renew and intensify
your dedication to making our Navy a model of equal opportunity
for all. The pride and professjxalism, which is our standard
is incompatible with racial discrimination or segregation in
any form."
If asked how many minority students coming in this
August, answer is "I can't tell you right now because selection
is based on many criteria, one of which is not race, color or
religion. Historically, we have always had a presentation which
has been
l parallel to that ofthe minority popu]tion in the Navy --
aau t.c 7 percent.
How many on your staff and faculty? Answer:
27. Drug Awareness. If anyone asks about drug "abuse"
at the War College, of course, the answer is "there is none." If
asked about the Navy in Nar Bay area the answer should be "I
really haven't gotten into this area since the first 25 days of
my tenure here have been so busy getting the curriculum ready
for next month and to get ready to meet with you all today -- however,
I have learned that the Navy's excellent drug awareness program
has virtually eliminated the drug abuse problem. The Naval Base
Commander has set up an excellent Drug Abuse Care Center and I
suggest if you want details on that you contact the Base Commander
or his public affairs officer."
