Henceforth, I would like
to have you refer in your reports to the movement of warships as follows:
1. As long as there are no
great changes in the movement and basing of warships, report on them at least
once every ten days. In the event of priority intelligence, report such on each
occasion.
a. The arrival or
departure of American flagships of the fleet or scouting force.
b. Should more than ten
vessels of any type arrive or depart from port at one time.
c. The arrival or
departure of warships of countries other than the United States (give as
detailed a report as possible on the class of ------).
2. Should patrolling be
inaugurated by naval planes, report it at once.
