CNO's Naval Budget
((Minor adaptation of the previous CNO's naval budget, but I haven't had time to calculate the new IC total. It should be well under 200 running at any given time, however.))

Memos and Planning
The German Threat has subsided, but war is not over. War with Japan is still a threat, though the main threat by far is the Soviet Union. As such, we must show the red bear that we have the superior navy, though at the same time we must avoid weakening ourselves for Japan. The Soviet threat will come from the Pacific, but the possibility of a strike from the Baltic is real.
Production
To defend the Baltic, additional ships will be added to existing units, with two new CTF groups will be made in the Pacific to face Japan and the Soviets. The Soviet Union, while having large amounts of coastline are not a major power, and airforce will be a major strength here, so Carriers will be a valuable asset.
Two new destroyers are to be produced, and added to the FRF "Daemon"
Two new destroyers are to be produced, and added to the SAG "Texas"
For the Pacific Theatre, two new Carrier Task Forces, two new Surface Action Groups and the ships for them, are to be made. All of the units are requested to be deployed under the command of PACCOM.
First, the SAG "Baltimore" and "Arizona", consisting of:
One Battleship (BB 2 parallel)
Two Heavy Cruisers (CA 2 parallel x 2)
Six Destroyers (DD 3 parallel x 4)
Further, three new CTFs, "Death Valley", "Nantucket" and "Powhattan"; consisting of:
Two Carriers (CVN 2 Parallel x 3)
Four Light Cruisers (CL 2 Parallel x 6)
Four Destroyers (DD 4 Parallel x 3)
In addition, for reinforcement along the fronts -
Two Battleships, (In Queue - BB 1 parallel x 1)
Three Heavy Cruisers (In Queue - CA 1 parallel x 3)
Ten Destroyers (In Queue - DD 1 parallel x 10)
Leadership Points
The Navy's technology request is to work for RADAR Training in the Fleet Auxiliary Carrier Doctrine, with the rest of the points requested to be deferred to the United Stats Air Force, as the Navy believes the Air Force will be the key to winning this war.
Signed,
Admiral William Halsey, Jr, CNO.
