Naval Surveys In Brassey 's Manual 1, t i i Show The Various Nations' Power D wanta DAT DRESS.. '-s t cs i i :. By JOSEPH GIES The gigantic ship construction pro- gram planned by the United States Navy and embodied in the more- than-a-billion dollar Paval appro- priations bill at present in the Sen- ate brings to the fot-e the question of existing relative naval strength of the great powers. Brassey's Naval Annual, edited by Rear Admiral H. G. Thursfield of the British Navy, gives a number of sta- tistics and facts on the fleets of Great Britain, the U.S., Japan and the lesser, naval powers. The ship-construc- tion programs begun two years ago by the great powers are now in pro- cess of completion. Brassey's lists the strength of the various fleets in effective fighting ships afloat, under, construction or projected in 1937 as, follows. The figures for the Soviet fleet include only ships already built in 1937. Battleships: Great Britain and the United States, 17; Japan 11, France 10, Germany 9, Italy 6 and the Soviet Union 4. Eight of the French ships, however, are vessels of relatively small size, carrying guns of less than 14-inch calibre, as are seven of the German, four of the Italian and all of the Russian battleships. Thus Eng- land, America and Japaan are the only great naval powers, since fleet strength is measured almost exclu- sively in capital ships. Battle Cruisers: Great Britain 3. England is the only power possessing any of this type of vessel; among hers is the giant "Hood," of 42,100 tons, built pefore the Washington Treaty and the largest fighting ship afloat. Battle cruisers differ slightly from battleships, carrying lighter guns and being capable of higher speed. The U.S. navy, preferring heavier guns to greater mobility, has steadfastly refused to construct battle cruisers. Cruisers: Great Britain 78, the United States !and Japan, 37, Italy 30, France 23, Germany 9 and the Soviet Union 5. Cruisers are no match for the much heavier and better armed battleships, and are therefore of no great value in fleet action. Many naval men consider them to be passing out of vogue, since the work of commerce destroying, formerly the cruiser's province; is expected to pass into the hands of the smaller, faster, and more nu- merous destroyers. Flotilla leaders and destroyers: The United States 238, Great Britain 187, Japan 1,16, Italy 115, France 65, Ger- many 34 and Russia 19. The work of these ships, apart from commerce raiding, consists in serving as scouts1 for the battle squauron in fleet ac- tions. Aircraft carriers: Great Britain 12, Japan 11, the United States 7, France and Germany 2, and Italy 1. The largest of these vessels are in the United States Navy. Submarines: France and the Unit- ed States 96, Italy 82, Japan 72, Great Britain 65, Germany 36 and the So- viet Union 23. Russia is said to have built a large number of submarines in the past two years, but figures for the vessels under construction in the Red Navy in 1937 were not available to Brassey's. Minelayers and cruiser minelayers: Great Britain 6, Japan 6, France 3, the Soviet Union 1. The United States Navy has equipped 12 of its destroy- ers for mine-laying. Minesweepers: Italy 48, the United States 43, Great Britain 41, France 28, Germany 27, Japan 14 and the Soviet Union 6. In naval aircraft, the United States leads the field, according to Brassey's by a wide margin, with 977 service- able first-line and reserve planes in 1937. Japan's naval air strength is listed as 266 ship-borne and 472 shore-based craft, with plans for 392 ship-borne and 472 shore-based planes by this year. France is listed as possessing 230 ship-borne planes and 62 shore-based craft; Italy 27 ship-borne and 216 shore-based, and Great Britain,d193 ship-borne and an unlisted but probably large number of shore-based planes. These figures are of relatively slight value, how- ever, since airplanes can be built quickly, and statistics on them soon become outdated.
