Germany's Growing Sea Might
48 SHIPS BEING BUILT
By Hector C. Bywato:
I learn authoritatively from Berlin that two new battleships and an aircraft carrier are to be laid down at an early date. These will be additional to the 112,000 tons of warships which are already under construction.
The new battleships are understood to be larger than the two 20,000 ton vessels, Ersatz. Elsass and Ersatz Hessen, now in course of construction, and may mount guns heavier than the nine 11in which those ships are to carry. The aircraft carrier is ex- pected to be of not less than 20,000 tone..
Other vessels to be started under the 1936 Gorman naval programme are two 10,000-ton armoured cruiseva with Bin guns, a number of occati going destroyers and a group of large submarines.
During the next six months the following vessels, all of which were begun secretly between September, 1934, and the spring of 1835 will be Iaunched:
Two battleships of 26,000 tons. Two armoured-cruisers-of-10,000
tone.
Sixteen destroyers of 1,625 tons. Eighteen submarines of 250-750 Long.
Ten escort aloops of 600 tons. Official details of the reorganisation of the German navy have just been released. The new system corresponds to that in force before and during the war, but with the important difference that the command of the fleet is now unifled. The commander- in-chief, Admi. Raeder, is responsible only to Herr Hitler.
