The ^' ov/e r of the Br itish Royal Navy .
Many unsuccessful atterapts have been made by ill-disposed
persons to write down the power and efficiency of the Royal
Navy. Such attempts were bound to fail, for they were not
based on fret, and their allegations and insinuations can
so easily be disproved by anyone who cares to look at the
facts for himself.
To begin with, the total tonnage of ships in commission
in the Royal Navy amounts to a figure approximately equal
to the total tonnage of German, Italian and Japanese fleets
combined. If it is said that a percentage of this tonnage
is over-age, such a statement means little or nothing except
in relation to the same percentage in other fleets. In any
case, a glance at the records reveals the enormous naval
construction programme at present being completed in British
shipyards, totalling on the 1st July, 1939, 712,000 tons of
new construction - a figure far in excess of the construction
put in hand by any other naval Power. A large number of these
new' vessels is due to be launched and completed w r ithin the
next few weeks and months.
Consider the position in the current financial year
1939-40.
