Abstract :
With electronic devices assuming a more important place in the fields of naval communication, navigation, ordnance, gunnery, and tactics, and in the general battle efficiency of the Navy´s airplanes and ships, the Bureau of Ships has broadened the scope of its older radio division and renamed it the electronics division. Captain J. B. Dow, who has been responsible for the design, production, and installation of the Navy´s electronic equipment for several years, has been appointed director of electronics.
