The "squabble" between the Navy and Army reminds me of the same type of "no, it's mine" squabble that the Luftwaffe had with the Wehrmacht.
LOL! Well, I do think the Wehrmacht had a point that an air force has no business running armor divisions.

Yeah. Pretty stupid wasn't it. Goering "If it has to do with the air, it's mine" was ridiculous. The Parartroopers were Luftwaffe, Flak was Luftwaffe and the Herman Goering Panzer Divsion was Luftwaffe. It's also one of the reasons the Graf Zeppelin was never finshed, Goering insisted the planes be under Luftwaffe control.
