Dudley l Carlson the chief of naval personnel says at same Point   going to have to tie up ships if Congress refuses to Autho Rize More manpower. A congressional staff official pointed out however that the Navy has recruited More people than any of the other services in recent years and according Toa defense department report the Navy has 95 per cent of the personnel it needs to operate the Fleet it s not As Bleak As one would suspect listening to them said an informed congressional  members of Congress also believe the Navy should have done a better Job of coordinating personnel and shipbuilding requests to avoid the Short Ages it is projecting. They argue that the Navy had put Loo much Money into ships too soon. In the six Yean of John f. Lehman or s tenure a Secretary of the Navy which ended on Friday the Navy expanded to 555 ships from 479, and is expected to have 60s ships by 1990. With that expansion the Navy has experienced substantial growth in personnel from 526,000 peo ple in 1981 to 584,000 a month ago. Even so Carl son said the Navy has drained snore bases to find sailors Tor sea duly As Congress has Cut 31,000 peo ple from annual Navy requests since 1981. Carlson in a report to Congress said Alt submarines had the proper number of sailors with the required level or experience. Surface ships and aviation Squadroni have shown improvement  said but still have some  also told Congress that the Navy does not have enough pilots in the Middle grades partly because airlines have been recruiting them.  cited a Short age of submarine officers in senior grades largely because so Many left the Navy eight years ago when pay  the shipbuilding program delivers More ships the Navy claims the shortage of sailors will get worse unless Congress provides Relief. Carlson predicted a shortage of experienced Petty officers and mid Grade officers by the Early 1990s. The Navy says it will need 617,000 sailors in 1991to operate the ships projected to  in the Fleet at that , in an interview said it was hard to say when the Navy would  unable to perform its mis Sion.  recalled that the Navy tied ships up seven years ago because of a shortage in  causes then however were different recruit ing people was difficult because pay was Low in nation to civilian life. Retaining experienced sailors was even More difficult Tor the same reason. At that Lime the services recruited Young people such As High school dropout who would not qualify today. The enlisting of less qualified people dropped sharply after the services won sizable pay raises from Congress in the Early 1980s. Carlson said recruiting would become More difficult because the population of military age men and women would drop until the mid-1990s. But  said training in critical skills such As electronics had been effective. Every Dollar invested in bonuses saves approximately $2.50 in training and replacement costs and prevents the loss of an experience Bate that cannot  replaced quickly at any Price  said. The Admiral said the need to Lake sailors from Shore duty and Send them to sea More often had Hurt retention because sailors were separated More fro their families. The Navy is striving for a rotation in which Sailor spends three years on Shore and then three years at sea  said. But Many rotations now require four years at sea and in some cases five Yean with Only two ashore.
