The Naval Architect.

France and Italy, under the treaty, were entitled to lay down one capital ship, each in 1927 and 129, and they have not done so, The new British "Washington" design battleships, the Nelson and the Rodney, cost in round figures

say

again the question is whether three great Powers are going to spend, in the decade from 1031 onwards, some £275,000,000 on building capital ebips.

The answer, it is said, lies with the naval architect. It is up to him to provide a ship which will adequately full all the require ments of the tactician and the strategist of the modern school and yet reduce the size. Naval circles

London Views.

The capital ship, they say, is not doomed by being redhiced in dis- placement to 17.500 tons. It is well. known in naval quarters that there exist to-day in the Admiralties of some than one. Power designa for capital ships of 17,500 tons-half the displacement allowed under the existing Washington treaty. Yet just after the war naval designers were at work on plans for ships of 57,000 tons.

What will be the tonnage of future capital ships, is the question

Germany provides one instance which is being asked in. naval that capital ships of smaller ton- eireles, here. It is believed that it hage yet embodying all require will be included in the conversa-nents are not impossible. There is tions between President. Hoover

The capital ship, is unt doomed. But the next ten years may see its design materially altered.
