General Board
From The Dreadnought Project
The General Board was a panel of senior Naval officers in the United States Navy established to act in an advisory capacity to the Secretary of the Navy.
The General Board was established in March, 1900 by John D. Long in order to provide the Secretary of the Navy with measures for ensuring the combat preparedness of the fleet, for actively planning for the use of the fleet in times of war and for advising on the future best composition of the naval service.
