optimistic prophecy is to be discount
ed that the group to which the War
spite belongs includes the last OF such
big and powerful ships to be con-

Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the Warspite is the provision
of oil for fuel. Her tanks. built to
hold 1000 tons, would enable her to
circumnavigate the globe without
pausing for replenishment. Another
modern note is the equipment with
guns designed to repe1 the onslaught
of airships.
