	Science Fair Projects - Louis E. Denfeld
		Louis Emil Denfield (1891-1972), was Chief of Naval Operations of the United States Navy from 15 December 1947 to 1 November 1949.
		Denfeld was selected to be aide to the Chief of Naval Operations in 1939, then commanded first Destroyer Division 18, then Destroyer Squadron 1 from 1939 to 1941.
		Denfeld was appointed Chief of Naval Operations on 15 December 1947.

	Revolt of the Admirals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The debate that caused the "Revolt" had been building for several years, but climaxed in 1949 when many of those officers, including Chief of Naval Operations Louis E. Denfeld as well as Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan (the civilian head of the Department of the Navy), were either fired or forced to resign.
		However, he had to resign for reasons of health on 28 March 1949 and was replaced by Louis A. Johnson, who supported the Air Force's position.
		This was as much for budgetary reasons as any other; the services were then in the middle of the post-World War II drawdown (which would continue into and past the Korean War era) and Army-Air Force thinking held that their life depended on securing as many missions for themselves as possible.

	Louis Emil Denfeld, Admiral, United States Navy
		Denfeld graduated from Duluth (Minnesota) High School in 1908, was admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy that year, and graduated as an Ensign four years later.
		Denfeld was widely regarded as a gifted administrator; however, his tenure as CNO proved unsatisfactory.
		Denfeld's views on the flexibility of naval aviation, when contrasted with the military inflexibility of strategic bombing, was vindicated during the Korean War, 1950-1953.

	SecDef Histories - Louis Johnson
		Forrestal's successor, Louis A. Johnson, born in Roanoke, Virginia, on 10 January 1891, earned a law degree from the University of Virginia.
		Finally, the committee condemned the dismissal of Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, the chief of naval operations, who accepted cancellation of the supercarrier but testified critically on defense planning and administration of unification.
		Secretary of the Navy Francis P. Matthews fired Denfeld on 27 October 1949, explaining that he and Denfeld disagreed widely on strategic policy and unification.

	friendly printed version:Opinion: Not Quite a Revolt
		While some view these calls by retired military officers as a "Revolt of the Generals" and a challenge to civilian control of the military, this episode pales in comparison to the 1949 Revolt of the Admirals.
		The conflict between the Navy and the Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson in 1949 concerned the construction of the supercarrier USS United States.
		When an active duty Navy captain, John Crommelin, called a press conference and accused Johnson of systematically and intentionally of nibbling the Navy to death, active and retired naval officers rallied to Crommelin's defense and his superiors tried to reward him with a favorable reassignment.

		To replace Forrestal, Truman named Louis A. Johnson, a former assistant secretary of War (193740) who had served as the President's chief fund-raiser during the 1948 campaign.
		Louis E. Denfeld, Chief of Naval Operations, defended the supercarrier, calling it necessary "in the interest of national security." Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, and General Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff, strongly opposed construction, arguing that the supercarrier would duplicate the function of the Air Force's landbased bombers.
		Admiral Denfeld, the Chief of Naval Operations (who was relieved of his post at completion of the hearings), stressed the way in which the flush-deck carrier was canceled.

	USS United States (CVA-58) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Air Force viewed United States as a challenge to their monopoly on strategic nuclear weapons delivery.
		Swayed by limited funds and bitter opposition from the United States Army and Air Force, Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson announced on 23 April 1949 — five days after the ship's keel was laid down — the cancellation of construction of United States.
		Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan immediately resigned, and the subsequent "Revolt of the Admirals" cost Admiral Louis Denfeld his position as Chief of Naval Operations, but atomic bombs went to sea on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1950.

		The former Navy Secretary was replaced by Louis Johnson, a former Assistant Secretary of War who had been Truman's fund-raiser for the 1948 Presidential campaign.
		Believing that construction of the flush-deck supercarrier was unnecessary, wasteful of funds, and a duplication of the Air Force's mission, he polled the Joint Chiefs (Adm. Louis E. Denfeld was the lone vote for construction) and then obtained Truman's approval to stop construction.
		They claimed that the B-36 was an inferior plane that could not accomplish the strategic bombing mission against the Soviet Union, that the entire concept of strategic bombing was unsound, and that the decision not to construct the supercarrier weakened the Navy and was itself a threat to the national security.

		Looking back 52 years, one can find an administration's decision that was at least as unpopular with the Navy as the recent Vieques decision.
		In April 1949, Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan resigned in protest over Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson's hasty decision to cancel construction of the aircraft carrier United States (CVA-58).
		Admiral Denfeld's testimony directly conflicted with the guidance and desires of Navy Secretary Matthews and Defense Secretary Johnson.

		Louis E. Denfeld; and commissioned on 15 April 1943 at the New York Navy Yard, Lt. Comdr.

		Denfeld, who admired Radford, agreed and made it so as his first act on becoming CNO in December.
		Admirals Denfeld and Radford decided to reward Clark by recommending him for promotion to vice admiral as Commander Air Force Atlantic (ComAirLant).
		Clark's easy handling of his two-carrier task force appeared almost casual, but he was in his element, having led a task group twice that size in Pacific combat.

		As noted by Adm Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval operations, this strategy was consistent with the Navy's primary missions-after it had won control of the sea-of exerting "steady, unrelenting pressure" against the enemy ashore.
		It is not surprising that the testimony presented to the Vinson committee by Louis Johnson and Army and Air Force officers rebutted the Navy's basic assumptions and its motives.
		The report denied that these witnesses "were performing in any manner unbecoming their positions in the government," an apparent attempt to put to rest the charges that the Navy's admirals were revolting against civilian authority.

		CAPT Arleigh Burke, certain that he would not be selected for flag rank despite his invaluable wartime service, headed up Radford's Washington office.
		Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan then resigned in protest and soon afterward Chief of Naval Operations ADM Louis E. Denfeld was fired summarily for his stubborn support of Radford and Burke.
		The whole sordid affair shook the Navy, but junior officers in the Navy took heart from the positive aspects of the blood bath, for they knew that their leadership had the courage to stand up and be counted when it mattered.

		Secretary of Defense James V. Forrestal committed suicide about that time, and his replacement, Louis Johnson, promptly cancelled the building of the United States, setting off a major revolt among the admirals.
		The conflict produced anonymous accusations of corruption in the B-36 acquisition program and ultimately led to the relief of the chief of naval operations himself, Adm Louis Denfeld.
		Although Congress investigated the accusations and found no corruption by Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington or anyone else, the dawn of 1950 saw no end to the looming bureaucratic battles.
