Abstract: This chapter discusses the reorganization of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, which was spurred by the catastrophic events of World War II. The reorganized Office of the Chief of Naval Operations that emerged in the fall of 1945 successfully incorporated the Commander in Chief, U.S. Fleet's control of the Navy's operating forces with the Chief of Naval Operations' responsibilities, under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, for coordinating and directing the bureaus and offices of the Navy Department in their efforts to provide the preparation, readiness, and logistic support of the operating forces and shore establishment of the Navy. Because of this new arrangement, the Chief of Naval Operations in December 1945 was far better equipped to handle the manifold responsibilities that would come his way in the challenging postwar years.
