NAVAL APPOINTMENTS The following appointments are made by the Admiralty:-
Cdrs.-R. J. O, Otway-Ruthven to President for duty inside Ad- miralty (May 24): H. W. Faulkner.
WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING
Germany who is also interested in these boats, is developing the high speed Diesel engine, but it is doubtful whether her boats, which are considerably larger than either the French "or Italian, have such large speeds.
To compensate for this, how- ever, they carry 21-inch torpe- does against the 18-inch of France and Italy.
The changes will bring the RNR and R.N.V.R. into line with the Royal Navy in this respect. Since February 1, 1923, all pro- motions of engineer officers to the equivalent rank of lieutenant have been 0.5 Heutenant (E), with subsequent promotion to Heuten- ant-commander (E), and above.
