WASHINGTON, April 19 (UP)-The recent reorganisation of the United States fleet into three distinct forces has improved this country's capacity to meet quickly and forcefully any threat to American security in the Atlantic, Pacific or Far East, naval quarters here assert.

Under a recent executive order of President Roosevelt's, three fleets were created under separate commander-in-chief. Admiral Thomas C. Hart commands the Asiatic Fleet; Admiral Ernest J. King, the Atlantic Fleet and Admiral Edward Kimmel, the Pacific Fleet. Kimmel is also commander-in-chief of the United States fleet, comprising all these forces.
