It has been stated that the ships built in Japanese yards are largely repetitions of designs which have been made available through the placing of orders with British shipowners, but if the time has not yet arrived for advances in naval architecture to be credited to Japan, there is one feature, the internal arrangement and de- toration of ships, in which Japanese buildi ers have certainly effected improvements. The present burst of activity in Japanes jards is clearly the outcome of the com- mercial conditions created by the war, and while the industry will continue to make progress in future years, it will be hy l rapid strides than are now being taken.- Times Engineering Supplement.
