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.
