By 1930, the Army had suggested that the Navy adopt their machine, citing the benefits of increased security (with the plugboard) and easier interservice communications.

The Navy ultimately did not adopt the system, due to resistance by personnel.

In 1907, the Navy adopted the .30-'06 Springfield cartridge for both rifles and machine guns.

On 17 July 1920 when the Navy first adopted alpha-numeric hull designations, she became AT-28.

The Navy adopted the idea and Singer supervised the project.

The French Navy adopted the design and copied the plans as late as 1848.

Later the Navy adopted a neutral position in the dispute.

Eventually, the Navy adopted his reforms and by 1915 started to reorganize for possible involvement in the World War then underway.

The Senate made the Navy adopt it.
