The ship Of the future will have

8. MacIlwaine Of the British navy.
Such ship has already been CON.

the top Of the upper corrugatio to

lance is Is feet 3 inches, the groove
between being Of the same dimensions
as the corrugations. From the inner
edges Of the frames the corrugations
project 20 inches. tapering forward

OF the vessel.
The claims made for this type Of
ship" said Captain Mac1lwaine, "are
that she Ia stronger than the plain
sided ship. that she ID steadierj at sea
and possesses greater stability, that
vibration is much reduced. that her
cargo capacity II increased. that she
