England’s New Dreadnoughts
England is to have eight new “Dreadnoughts.” These new battle-ships are to be at least thirty per cent more efficient than the first “Dreadnought.” After the Japanese-Russian War, English naval experts got together and devised the first “Dreadnought.” She outclassed everything in the line of battle-ships that had been built up to that time. Previously it had been supposed that it required from three to four years to build a battle-ship, but from the time of laying the keel of this vessel to her completion the entire construction consumed only one year. When England builds these eight new vessels of the new type, along with those that the English colonies will add to her navy, and counting in all the new battle-ships of this class, or in competition with this class, that the United States, France, Germany, Japan, and other nations are building or have built, the navies of four years ago will become obsolete.
