REAT BRITAIN TO-DAY IS HASTENING FORWARD THE MOST FORMIDABLE NAVAL BUILDING PROGRAMME SINCE THE GREAT WARSHIP RACE WITH IMPERIAL GERMANY JUST BEFORE THE WORLD WAR.

At the present moment more than 135 ships, aggregating about $12,000 tons displacement, are either under construction or projected.

At a rough estimate their total cost probably will exceed £160,000,000.
