Most governments lay down their battleships and cruis ers singly, and the lesser craft per haps in Paris, but here battleships loom up as twins, light cruisers by the half dozen, destroyers in rows of ten, with many braces of long subma rines, and an occasional monitor. The war fleet under the hammer and thp naint brush here would rank in the naval list above the establishments j of several modest maritime powers. It could demolish the two squadrons which fought the battle of Manila Bay with one volley, and then steam against the combined American and 1 ing vessels under construction con sisted of several miles of water-front lines as thickly as could be crowded j with skeletons and hulls- The stocks! carried everything of the final "type , until next year or next week for every new devices, new lines of construction. Two years of active service under war conditions have brought a great ad vance to the British navy, already i acknowledged to be leader in most naval matters.

These had been construct j ed in something like half the time con I sumed in making a big warship in pre war days. There were several so : called destroyers certainly as long as many light cruisers of earlier times, , ten of them extended side by side in ;0he row, and others elsewhere. Just where the super-destroyer leaves off and the light cruiser begins is not a matter of length today. Be yond the destroyers was a line of long , thin skeletons of submarines, whose size could not be Judged at all ac curately in a passing View, even if it could be reported. .Compared with the now old fashioned submarine they are as the Aquitania to the Philadel . phia. 1 Floating alongside a dock was a j brand new submarine, painted and polished like a touring car fresh from , the shop. Her young commander i stood alongside and proudly pointed iout some of her attractions. TFrom his transparent enthusiasm she might (have been a pleasure yacht instead of I the vehicle for the most dangerous 1 form of adventure that .fighting men undertake.

Two years ago this was a great naval base, according to reputation, but how its extent and the array of docks and shops and barracks has been so multiplied as to make it a truly vast one: The force of skilled and common workmen is larger than can be kept at constant employment, for they must be able to grapple with emergencies and with quick operations on a big. scale. Wireless is a great aid. Every squadron coming into port telegraphs is its. needs, :ven the humbles subma-js rine does the same. The materials and the men are ready on the docks - and in the supply ships when the fight- j ing craft appear. There was an ex- j ample on view. One of the most mas-( sive and swiftest warships in being1 was shored- up inside a drydock, and:j that necessarily one of the largest docks-constructed, to have her hull j scraped . Incidentally advantage was S taken of the time, as is customary, for ' a thorough overhauling of every detail ; s of the ship's machinery from keel to ;E topmasts. Fifteen-inch guns, six-inch S guns, turrent machinery, every de-j tachable or movable fragment of the P whole complex creation was being -de-j tacnea, ana mspectea, scrutmizeu, tm-jn; kered, polished- and oiled.
