Court Of Inquiry The navy's court of Inquiry similarly concluded that the rec ord "would not support the trial by general court martial of any person or persons in the nas'al service." Tho army's Pearl Harbor board held General George C.

Criticism Of Stark The navy's court of inquiry dl rected criticism at Admiral Har old R. Stark, chief of naval op erations in November, 1941, and who has lust returned from war time command of the fleet in European waters, to retire.
