It is probable, however, that the destroyers and submarines of this year's programme, being of a marg or less standardised design, will be built more economically than their predecessors. Even so, it is a safe prediction that the shipbuild- lng and associated industries will benefit to the extent of £5,000,000. Competition for the contracts has been extraordinarily keen, for the shipyards, in spite of inst year's big volume of tonnage output, have comparatively few orders, now in hand or in prospect.
