"What do you mean by 'delay in construction'?" President Roosevelt demanded, "We need these ships as soon as possible, we don't have time for delays!"
"Uhh, sir, the construction of the Georgia was sabotaged, it was out of our control."
The president sighed and looked straight at Secretary of the Navy William H. Moody, "well William, what can we do to get more ships off of the slips?"
"I don't know, sir," Moody said meekly.
"You don't know. Can't we authorize some emergency program to get as many ships into combat as possible? I mean any way!"
"I understand, sir, but we simply do not have the resources to do such a thing."
"Then buy ships, the British are looking to downsize their fleet."
"Sir, it'll take too long, and we need Congressional approval."
"Just find a way, William. Find a way."
Moody nodded and excused himself from the room. He had a long night ahead of him.
