Sadly true.
Let us not forget that the Navy led the US Space Program, and lobbied to push the Army out of the way.
Then failed to launch a missile that didn't blow up, until AFTER the Soviets beat us into space with Sputnik 1.
Then the job was given to the Army, which dusted off a Redstone missile, and nailed it first time.

The Navy leadership has done well since, but suffers to this day from a degree of arrogance and Not Invented Here thinking.
But that's just my opinion. Take it or leave it as you wish.
