View of the Navy Department building, also known as the Main Navy and Munition Buildings (now demolished and turned into Constitution Gardens. Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20024, United States). Sign says “Bureau of Ships”. Rear Admiral Edward L. Cochrane speaks about the United States Navy’s shipbuilding and maintenance program during World War 2 and great needs for steel. To underscore his point, he notes that, "A single salvo of the main battery guns of such a ship as the South Dakota, for example, will take 10 tons of finished steel." He goes on to say, “Our job in the Navy until the war is over is using steel to build and to fight. We must continue to rely on the Homefront efforts to collect the big tonnage of heavy industrial scrap which is needed to make a fine quality steel in huge quantities which we need in the Navy” concludes Rear Admiral Edward L. Cochrane.
