Owing, however, to shortage of material these maximum outfits aret not on board, and the present total of machines borne in the six carriers is only : 132.

PROJECT HELD UP

As is well known, certain capital ships and cruisers have been fitted with catapults, the intention being that each of these ships shall eventually carry two machines, the estimated total being forty. But again the shortage of aircraft has held up this project, and at the moment only twenty machines in all are on board the ships in ques- tion. These, added to the aircraft- carrier outats, make up the Fleet's grand total of 152 machines."

Beven more cruisers now under construction are earmarked for aircraft èquipment, and it is in- derstood that provision has been made for these extra machines. There is, however, no immediate prospect of making good the defeit of seventy-two aircraft in the standard equipment of the Fleet.
