Passing Of Revenge; Of the
British Navy, Significant Of
Short Career Some Modern
Fighting Vessels Have.

The battleship Revenge, serving as Jun
merry training ship at Portsmouth, has
been paid of into the material reserve;
and the battleship Albemarle will be COM
missioned to take her place as tender to
the Whale Island School The event Is
of some interest. both because the Re-
venge was the last ship of her class on
the active list of the navy and because
her replacement by the Albermarle Is
part of the policy of substituting
efficient ships for the obsolete ships which
have recently been doing duty as instruc-
tionaI tenders, says the London Tele-
graph.
The Revenge belongs to the Royal
Sovereign" class. ships OF H,150 tons,
armed each with four l35-inch guns In
open barbettes. and with a secondary
armament Of ten 6-inCh guns. They
were built under the naval defense
act, being designed by the late Sir Will
lam White, and at the time of their con-
struction were justly regarded as being
very fine ships, showing considerable
advance on any previous battleship de-
