It is only common sense to conclude that the Admiralty would not condemn floating dock without definite reason. Their decision, however, appears anomal- i ous in view of the fact that Devonport is promised such 'n structure to enable
dry dock hulged capital ships which randot now enter her permanent basins. Portsmouth already possesses such floating, dock. The ex-German dock new offered for sale would be capable of re reiving my existent battleship, but it could not take the Hood, nor the two Reaumes. It may be that for this reason the Admiralty have discarded it as in- adequte: But would it not prove a much more economical process to lengthen the condensed dock than to build a new one throughout Probably the price it will make will only represent a fraction of its value as serap iron.
The building of alitional sections would be a very elementary engineering undertaking. That it would be a futile

But in this ase the objection appears to have been taken without any regard to the very conie.
