We start ast with certain propositions. A mere enumeration of ships, even of the same class, where the units differ greatly in value, is obviously misleading. Avursions attempt should be made to indicate quallly as well as quantity, A distineston should be drawn between modern and obsolete ships. Ships buildlog should in the
