| At left is Admiral Robert Coontz, outgoing Chief of Naval Operations. Coontz led the Navy during the Washington Conference of 1921-1922 which inaugurated the era of Treaty limitations. At right is his successor, Rear Admiral Edward Eberle, about to begin his four year tour. A former Acting CNO in 1918-1919, Eberle had helped plan the Navy's post-WWI demobilization. Both photos from the NHC On-Line Library. As far as I know they are in the public domain |
