NEW BATTLESHIPS
VERY STRONG PROTECTION. BRITAIN’S FIVE SHU’S. SPEED OF 30 KNOTS. (United Press Association—By Electric Tclegrapn.—Copyright.) Received July 1, 10.15 a.m. LONDON, June 30. The naval expert, Mr Hector Bywater, writing in the Daily Telegraph, says: “The live new British battleships are the bc.st protected in the world. They are designed to withstand the heaviest of gun, bomb and torpedo attacks. Their armour accounts for 40 per cent, of their displacement and their speed of 30 knots compares with the Queen Elizabeth’s 25 knots. “They thus combine great fighting power with a battle cruiser’s speed.”
