cruisers, oas the recent naval maneuvers
idicated that small cruisers were CT no
service, except for patrolling purposes
in tene ofo peace. Thirty-four vessels
have been ordered during the past year,
of which three battleships, 9famed re-
spectively Britannia, oHibernia and
Africa, are being built in dockyards.
They are of improved King Edward
VII type. of 1850 tons snd 1875 knots
speed. F'our armored cruisers of the
Duke of Edinburgh class have been
named Warrior, Achilles, Natal and
Cochrane, the Warrior being built at
Pembroke dockyard, the other three by
contract. These armored cruisers are
of 1850 tons and twenty-five knots
specs. Four scouts of twenty-five knots
speed have been contrscted for and
named Attentive, Skirmisher, Foree
sight and Patrol Four vessels of this
class are approaching completion and
the builders were given a free hand to
produce vessels on lheiT own design
that would make the required speed of
twenty-five knots. A like PROVISION
has been made in the four. new scouts.
the displacements of which range from
2600 to 200 tons. Ten submaTine boats
are being built by the. Vickers firm at
Barrow and contracts for thirteen tor
pedo-boats of 251a knots speed and
about $40 tons displacement have been
placed with FIVE of the foremost firms
whose work In that line has given the
best results in previous contracts.
BRITAIN LIKES SUBMARINES.
The British Admiralty has accepted
the subElarine boat as an element in
warfare, and decided to build twenty
seven more of the crafts, bringing the
total up to forty-six, within the next
twelve months. These boats have rap
idly grown in favor in the Briti1h navy
and proved their value since their in-
PRODUCTION only three years ago. Vickers,
Sons & Maxim, at Barrows, induced
the Admiralty in 1901 to purchase the
plans of John Holland. on which eight
boats were being built for the United
States navy and contracts were given
out for first lot of five soon after, fol-
lowed with an order for four more. The
boats were completed within nine
months and have undergone exhaustive
trials, ins which their merits have been
demonstrated, and such defects as ex-
listed in earlier boats have been reme-
died in subsequent construction. The
programme for 10000 provided for ten
boats of increased size, and contracts
for nine have been given to Barrows
ands will be ready for launching in
March next. The designs for the tenth
beat have been, held back with a view
of further improving the type of fu-
ture boats. The Admiralty now proposes
to build fiotilla of twenty-seven in
patches of nine at time. and the Bar
row company is busy completing the
boats on hand and preparing for new
contracts. special shed has been
built for this class of work, and all the
workmen employed are sworn to Sc
crecy.
