With much pleasure and pride we record the arrival in
British waters of a flotilla of United States destroyers to co-operate with the Navy. Rear-Admiral Sims of the U.S. Navy is in general command of the .American naval forces here, and is in constant touch with the Naval Staff. His skill and high accomplishments are greatly appreciated. We undertake to say that every British sailor is proud of the opportunity of working with him. He is just such an officer as we would wish a seaman of the Anglo-Saxon race to be.
