In 1905, after the experiences of the [[Spanish American War]], President [[Theodore Roosevelt]] appointed a new board, under secretary of war William Howard Taft. They updated some standards and reviewed the progress on the Endicott board's program. Most of the changes recommended by this board were technical; such as adding more searchlights, electrification (lighting, communications, and projectile handling), and a more sophisticated optical aiming techniques.  The Taft program fortifications differed slightly in battery construction and had fewer numbers of guns at a given location than those of the Endicott program. By the beginning of [[World War I]], the United States had a coastal defense system that was equal to any other nation.
