The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Officer Military Pay 1940-1941-- Part 1: Joint Service Pay Readjustment Act

From Navy Cyber Space "1922-1942 U.S. Military Officer Pay Charts."

The Joint Service Pay Readjustment Act of 1922, Public Law 67-235, signed by President Warren G. Harding on June 11, 1922, was the first pay legislation that dealt with compensation for all of the armed services.

It increased rates of pay for officers and enlisted men because of the higher costs of living.

It remained in effect for 20 years.
