UNITED STATES
NAVY LARGEST
Figures Show That Ameri
can Fleet Is Bigger Than
Great Britain's
NEW SHIPS BUILDING
Washington Official figures
indicated today that the United
States Navy, building at top
speed toward "two-ocean"
strength, already has become the
world's largest both in number of
ships and in total tonnage.
Not counting the $500,000,000
of new warships by the
navy yesterday and nearly 100
other vessels under construction,
Uncle Sam has 395 completed
combat ships of 1,327,320 tons.
Latest available figures on the
British navy give its strength on
June 20 as 313 ships of 1,277,189
tons. These figures are admitted
ly inexact, but they take into,
consideration the best informa
tion obtainable on losses suffered
in Europe's war.
Whether the United States or
the British fleet is actually the
strongest is a matter of conjec
ture. That, depends on many
factors —the age of ships, their
design, and capabilities of the
crews, among others.
The $500,000,000 new warships
order was the biggest in navy
history. It covered 11 cruisers,
20 destroyers, 13 submarines and
a large seaplane tender. The
contracts were closed without
