FUTURE OF THE NAVY

INFLUENCE OF AIK POWER.

In the First Lord of the Admiralty z statement on the Navy Estimates, occurs an interesting comment on the future of the battleship:

There has been some criticism of the maintenance is commission of the present types of vessels, especi- ally in regard to the capital ship. A contrary policy has been openly advocated, this policy being based, it is presumed, on the idea that the battleship is dead and that submer sible and air vessels are the types of the future. The Naval Staff has ex- amined this question with extreme care, and as a result we profoundly

dissent from these views.

In our opinion the capital ship re- mains the unit on which sea power is built up...

I is even possible that the present battle ship will chatge to one of a semí submersible type or even of a Lynz, type; but such types are visions of the far future, not practical propoel tions of the moment. By radial evolution and development the types tuguese Government have acquired, forecasted may arrive, but the Im-xceptionally favourable terms mediate abandonment of the capital ship in favour of a visionary scheme of aircraft and submarines would leave the British nation destitute of sea-power and without the means of progressive training

A NAVAL AIR WING,

In a subsequent passage in the Admiralty statement something is said of the future relations of the Admiralty and the Air Ministry, and

six of the British naval sloops at pre sent lying at Devonport Dockyard. These vessels are the "Acacia," "Anemone ""Cyclamen, "Gladiolus," expected to arrive in England to man "Jessarnine," and "Jonquil" Crews are

The six stoops belong to a class of

To-remove all. misconception it should be stated with emphasis that we in no way contemplate a return

Nor at present could the Board of Admiralty subscribe to the statement that aircraft have doomed the capital ship. Aircraft are certainly of the highest importance in naval tactics, as regards reconnaissance, torpedo attacks, and artillery observation, bat their role in present circumstances is that of an auxiliary and rot of a sub. stitute for the capital ship. The past history of this question must be taken into account; many times has the doom of the battleship been pro nounced. History has shown that the introduction of a type to destroy the capital ship has been quickly fol- lowed by the evolution of counter measures which sustain its power.

We therefore believe that the to the responsibilities for the conduct To assist, in the development of battleship must remain the principal of operations. The Admiralty have this naval wing it is proposed to unit, and that Fleet tactics and represented to the Air Council that, second officers volunteering for air tactical training must be carried out in their opinion(a) the opera work to the Air Service for training Bown and for subsequent service in with the battle squadron as the main tions of all aircraft unit. Nevertheless, it must be from

Such officers emphasised that, although the battle-vessels with whatever object in view, as are specially fitted for work ship remains, its type may require that is to say, not only reconnais la the higher ranks of the to be altered.
