During the pertod under review 14 ships left the Colony,

These cruisers mark a departure In British cruisex construction. They are fast and exceptionally powerful shs, carrying a formid- able marmament, a consider. able anti-aircraft armament, and are provided with armour protec-| tion both on the sides and decks.

They are the first cruisers to be built for the British Navy with hangars for aircraft, although air- craft hangars have been fitted on two of the cruisers of the Rent class during recent reconstruction.

The Southampton class were au thorised as a reply to the powerful cruisers being built abroad. Chief among these were the Japanese ships of the Mogami type and the American cruisers of the Savannah class.

As a result of the laying down of these powerful foreign ships, the British naval "building pro- gramme for 1933 was altered. Ori- ginally it provided for cruisers of the 7,000-ton Leander class, but the altered programme instituted the 9,000-ton class, of which the Southampton and Newcastle are the first examples to enter the Service.

NOVEL APPEARANCE

In the Southampton cruisers there a a reversion to raking funnels and a tripod foremast, but the appearance of the ships la en- tirely novel and conveys an im- pression of great power and speed. The main armament, consisting of twelve 6in. guns, is mounted in) four 3-gun turrets on the centre Iine, two turrets being on the fore- castle, and two abart the main- mast. There is a massive bridge structure surmounted by the fire- control director for the main armament. All the guns of the main armament are capable of being elevated to the vertical, so that they can be used against air- craft if necessary.

The bridge structure merges at its after end into the aircraft hangars. There are two of these. one on each side of the foremost fannel, and each designed to ac- commodate one machine. Imme- diately abaft the hangars are the cranes for hoisting in aircraft, and an athwartship catapult of a new type from which the 'planes are launched. It is understood that these ships will carry three Walrus amphibians, one being stowed on the catapult.

LINER AGROUND

Cairo, April 10,

The 20,000 ton P. and O. 3.3. Viceroy of India grounded 65 miles tram Port Said to-day. A portion of the cargo is being taken off in order to lighten the ship. Another P. and O. liner which was following the Viceroy of India was also held up. The liner was re-floated later in the evening.-Raster

It will be seen, therefore, that

the anti-aircraft defence of these new ships is more than twice that

of any crudser yet bullt for the British Navy.

Their main protection consists of a belt of armour plate "on the alde stretching over the whole length occupied by the engines and boiler rooms. Abreast the boller-rooms this belt is brought up to the level of the upper deck, but otherwise it extends only as far as the main deck. The lower edge of the belt Inimediately abaft the after fun is below the water line. The aver nel are the torpedo tubes, mount-

age thickness is four inches. Deck armour ls fitted

on the ed on the upper deck. There are four 21-inch tubes on each side. main deck and extends from the Above these tubes is the main anti-forward side of the foremost bar aircraft armament, consisting of bette to the stera. four pairs of 4-inch anti-aircraft guns. The twin mounting for 4- inch anti-aircraft guns is a new development.

ARMOUR BELT On" each side of the foremost tunnel, and mounted on top of the hangars so that an excellent an of fire in obtained, is a multi-bar- relled anti-aircraft · pom-pom.

The eight boilers and geared turbines give the ships a speed of more than 33 knots with a horse
