LARGE CRUISER
FRANCE’S REPLY TO GERMANY.
(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
LONDON, November 16. The “Daily Telegraph’s’’ naval expert says that France’s reply to the German pocket battleship is a 26,000 ton cruiser which is included in the 1931 programme. It is estimated that a 23,000 tonner is already proposed. The larger size is due to the substitution of nine ' 13.4 guns, being practically equal t° the British 15inchers. The new vessel will cost over Jc!6,000,000, and its construction wili mark the end of the battleship holiday which has now lasted nearly nine years, as no ,10,000 tonner has been built since the British Nelson and Rodney in 1922.
